Enabling or Disabling the Telnet Server

1. From the Main Menu, type 5 to select System Administration.
The System Administration menu is shown in Figure 4 on page 46.
2. From the System Administration menu, type 3 to select Console
(Serial/Telnet) Configuration.
The Console (Serial/Telnet) Configuration menu is shown in Figure 11
on page 62.
3. From the Console (Serial/Telnet) Configuration menu, type 4 to toggle
Telnet Server between Enabled and Disabled.
Note
Disable Telnet access if you are using the SSH (Secure Shell)
feature. (The SSH feature is not available in all versions of the
AT-S63 management software.)
4. After making changes, type R until you return to the Main Menu. Then
type S to select Save Configuration Changes.
