of Telnet; however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the
MVX Plus 128 VGA A switcher via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the MVX Plus 128 VGA A switcher using the Open command. Once
you are connected to the switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you
would if you were using the RS-232 link.
Connect to the MVX Plus 128 VGA A switcher 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 MVX Plus 128 VGA A
switcher.
If the switcher is password protected , Telnet displays the password prompt.
2 . 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
return}.
