Local echo
Once connected to the MTPX Plus matrix switcher, by default, Telnet does not display your
keystrokes on the screen. SIS commands are typed in blindly and only the SIS responses are
displayed on the screen. To command Telnet to show keystrokes, at the Telnet prompt, type
set local_echo
and then press
With local echo turned on, keystrokes and the responses of the switcher are displayed on
the same line. For example:
1*1!In1 Out1 All
, where
1*1!
is the SIS command and I
n1
Out1 All
is the response.
With local echo turned on, all keystrokes are displayed, even those that should be masked,
such as the password entry. For example, when entering a password with local echo turned
on, you see a display such as
a*d*m*i*n*
, where
admin
is the keyed in password and
*****
is the masked response.
You can turn off local echo by typing
unset local_echo
and then pressing
Telnet prompt. If you are connected to the MTPX Plus matrix switcher and need to access the
Telnet prompt to turn local echo off, type the Escape character (
<
Ctrl

).
Set carriage return-line feed
Unless commanded otherwise, Telnet transmits a line feed character only (no carriage return)
to the connected switcher when you press the
communication with the switcher. The Telnet
set crlf
command forces Telnet to transmit
carriage return and line feed characters when
with the switcher does not function properly.
