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

MVX Plus 128 VGA A switcher via Telnet.

If necessary, at the password prompt, type {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 MVX Plus 128 VGA A

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

MVX Plus 128 VGA A switcher ships with both passwords set to {carriage
