Starting a Telnet Session (Connect)
The connect option is used to start a telnet session with a remote unit on
the infrastructure to gain access to its Console Menu. The connect
option can also be used to access any remote node (PC or Server) that
supports telnet access.
The connection may be initiated using the remote node’s IP address. The
connection is completely routable and the destination may be anywhere
in the internet.
If the connection is to be made to another Aironet unit which has not
been assigned an IP address, start the connection using the MAC level
infrastructure address of the unit. This connection uses a proprietary
protocol which is not routable. The destination must lie on the local
LAN. This is useful when assigning IP addresses to a large number of
Bridges.
