same time on one device. The default setting is SW Xon/Xoff.
Terminal Type The preferred setting is ANSI, which offers graphic features
such as reverse video buttons and underlined links. Not all terminal emulators
support ANSI, so the default setting is Teletype.

display for your terminal emulator.

of 16 characters to 50 characters. Adjust the value to get the optimum display
for your terminal emulator.
Enable TelnetThe default setting is Yes. Select No to prevent Telnet access

Using Secure Shell
Secure Shell (SSH) is a program that provides a cryptographically secure
replacement for Telnet that is considered the de facto protocol for remote logins.
SSH runs in the Application Layer of the TCP/IP stack. SSH provides a secure
connection over the Internet providing strong user authentication. SSH protects
the privacy of transmitted data (such as passwords, binary data, and administrative
commands) by encrypting it.
SSH clients make SSH relatively easy to use and are available on most computers
including those that run Windows or a type of UNIX. SSH clients are also
available on some handheld devices.
SSH on the access point is enabled by default. When user manager is enabled,
SSH uses the same usernames and passwords established by the user manager.
Newer computers have the SSH client installed. If your computer does not have
the SSH client installed, you must procure and install it before you can proceed.
You can download the latest SSH client from the following site:
