After making sure that the Weidmüller switch is connected to the same LAN and logical subnet as
your PC, open the Weidmüller switch’s Telnet console as follows:
Click Start  Run from the Windows Start menu and then Telnet to the Weidmüller switch’s IP
address from the Windows Run window. You may also issue the Telnet command from a DOS
prompt.
In the terminal window, the Telnet console will prompt you to select a terminal type. Type 1 to choose
ansi/vt100, and then press Enter.
The Telnet console will prompt you to log in. Press Enter and then select admin (read/write access)
or user (read access only). Use the down arrow key on your keyboard to select the Password field
and enter a password if desired. This password will be required to access any of the consoles (web,
serial, Telnet). If you do not wish to create a password, leave the Password field blank and press
Enter.
The Main Menu of the Switch´s Telnet console will be displayed.
