Telnet Tips
It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet;
however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the ISS via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the ISM using the Open command. Once you are connected to the switcher,
you can enter the SIS commands the same way that you would if you were using the
RS-232 link.
Connect to the ISM as follows:
1. At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press
Enter
.
•
If the switcher is not password protected, no further prompts are displayed
until you break or disconnect the connection to the ISM.
• If the switcher is password protected, Telnet displays the password prompt.
2. If necessary, at the password prompt, type the appropriate password and then press
Enter
.
Connection to the switcher via the Ethernet can be password protected. There are
two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A person logged on as an
administrator has full access to all ISM switching capabilities and editing functions.
Users can select video and/or audio for output, select test patterns, set RGB and audio
mutes, select a blue screen, and view all settings with the exception of passwords. By
default, the ISM is shipped with no password assigned.
Once you are logged in, the ISM returns either
Login Administrator or Login User.
No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect the connection to the
ISM.
