Telnet Management Session
You can use the Telnet application protocol from a workstation on your
network to manage an AT-9410GB Gigabit Ethernet Switch. This type of
management is referred to as remote management because you do not
have to be physically close to the switch to start the session, such as with
a local management session. Any workstation on your network that has
the application protocol can be used to manage the switch.
In terms of functionally, there are no differences between managing a
switch locally through the RS232 Terminal Port and remotely with the
Telnet application protocol. You see the same menu selections and have
the same management capabilities.
An AT-9410GB switch must have an IP address for you to remotely
manage it using the Telnet application protocol. An AT-9410GB switch
without an IP address cannot be managed remotely.
Starting a Telnet
Management
Session
To start a Telnet management session, specify the IP address of the
switch in the Telnet application protocol. Enter the management
software user name and password when prompted. The default for both
is the user name and password “manager” and both are case-sensitive.
The Main Menu of a Telnet management session is the same menu that
you see in a local management session, shown in Figure 2 on page 26. All
of the functions from a local management session are available to you
from a Telnet management session.
The menus also function the same. To make a selection, type the letter
enclosed in brackets. To return to a previous menu, type Q.
Note
You can run only one Telnet management session on a switch at a
time. Additionally, you cannot run both a Telnet management
session and a local management session on the same switch at the
same time.
Quitting from a
Telnet
Management
Session
To end a Telnet management session, type Q for Quit from the Main
Menu.
