Figure 15: Open Connection Pop-up Menu.
This produces a pop-up menu allowing the choice of the host
machines that are configured in the host table. To select a
host, move the cursor down to the required name then press
the
key. At this point the unit attempts to make a
connection across the network to the indicated host using the
telnet protocol.
If it succeeds, the host machine’s login prompt is displayed.
There may be an error in the configuration if the connection
cannot be established.
