6.3 Running Telnet

Browser, as described in Chapter 3.
• Most often, you make selections from menus by toggling between
one choice or another, by selecting/deselecting or enabling/dis-
abling an item.
• Press , when not selecting an item. This will return you to a
previous menu.
• If you do not make a menu selection for 2 minutes, you get a “Two
Minute Warning” that within 2 more minutes your Telnet session
will end. This ensures that one user does not leave a session idle
for too long.
