The Serial Server must be in RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 mode before you can
Telnet to it and access the configuration screens. If it was last configured in
Console mode you may not be able to access it using Telnet. In this case use
Serial Server Manager, Console Mode or Web Server for configuration.
Step 6. The Telnet window will open (unless the server is still in Console
mode) and the
Server screen will appear.
