This assumes that the SOL Proxy service is already up and running on the
management station.
For Windows 2003:
1 Open a Command Prompt window on your management station.
2 Enter the telnet command in the command-line and provide
localhost as the IP address if the SOL Proxy server is running in the
same machine and the port number that you specified in the SOL Proxy
installation (the default value is
623 ). For example:
telnet localhost 623
For Linux:
1 Open a Linux shell on your management station.
2 Enter the telnet command and provide localhost as the IP address
of the SOL Proxy server and the port number that you specified in the
SOL Proxy installation (the default value is
623 ). For example:
telnet localhost 623
NOTE: Whether your host operating system is Windows or Linux, if the SOL Proxy
server is running on a different machine than your management station, input SOL
Proxy server IP address instead of localhost.
telnet < SOL Proxy server IP address > 623
