Telneting to Other Computers on the Network
Telnet is a TCP/IP application protocol that allows you to access a remote computer system (e.g., a UNIX or SUN
workstation) as though you were attached locally via a serial terminal. As long as you have a user account on the
target system and the necessary user privilege, you can execute any text command.
If you require frequent access to a particular workstation, you may want to include it in your network map as an IP
Node.
To telnet into a workstation using your network map:
1. Select the appropriate IP node from the network map with your mouse.
2. Open the Tools menu under the main EliteView window and click on Telnet.
3. Log into the remote workstation.
