Using Telnet
The console interface can also be used to configure and moni-
tor the switch in band via Telnet. Telnet is a common terminal
emulation application used in TCP/IP networks for remote ter-
minal access to computer devices.
Before using Telnet, an IP address must be assigned to the
switch. This IP address must be set out-of-band using the con-
sole interface. Once an IP address has been assigned, Telnet
can be used to configure and monitor the switch using the
menus and screens described in this chapter.
Telnet can also be used with the TigerSwitch 16 as the Client to
initiate an outbound session to another Telnet device.
Using the TigerSwitch 16 as a Telnet Client
1. At the Main Menu, type 4 to display the Utilities Menu.
2. At the Utilities Menu type 6 to establish a Telnet session.
The Telnet Menu is displayed.
3. Type 1. The system prompts you to enter the IP address of
the remote unit with which you want to communicate.
Enter numbers, as the system will not accept domain names.
4. When you are returned to the Telnet Menu, type 2 to initiate
the Telnet session. A message will appear while the connec-
tion is being attempted.
5. The session will begin with whichever screen the remote
unit last accessed. Press Esc or the Spacebar to refresh the
display.
Note: If the Telnet connection is idle for 10 minutes, the con-
nection will be terminated.
