How to close the session from ts_menu (from a telnet session to your unit)

You have to be sure that a different escape character is used for exiting your telnet session;

otherwise, if you were to exit from the session created through the ts_menu, you will close

your entire telnet session to your unit. To do this, when you first telnet to your unit, use the

“-e” option. So for example, to set Ctrl-? as the escape character, type:

telnet -e ^? 192.168.160.10

To exit from the session created through the ts_menu, just follow Step 1 from above. To exit

from the entire telnet session to your unit, type the escape character you had set.

Accessing Serial Ports using the Web Interface

From the Web, there's a “Connect to Serial Port” option that has to be selected. A serial port

is chosen and a Java window will open on the user's screen. For a telnet session, just log in

and provide the password (whenever necessary). For ssh, enter

as login name and provide the password (whenever necessary). To exit the session, select

“Disconnect” from the Java window. See the Step-by-Step Process

section of Appendix I - Con-

nect to Serial Ports from Web for more details.
