Telnet Management Session
You can use the Telnet application protocol from a workstation on your
network to manage an AT-8024, AT-8024GB, or AT-8026FC Fast Ethernet
Switch. This type of management is referred to as remote management
because you do not have to be physically close to the switch to start the
session, such as with a local management session. Any workstation on
your network that has the application protocol can be used to manage
the switch.
In terms of functionally, there are no differences between managing a
switch locally through the RS232 Terminal Port and remotely with the
Telnet application protocol. You see the same menu selections and have
the same management capabilities.
There must be at least one AT-8024, AT-8024GB, or AT-8026FC Fast
Ethernet Switch on your network that has been assigned an IP address.
The switch with the IP address is referred to as the master switch. Once
you have started a Telnet management session on the master switch,
you will have management access to all the other AT-8024, AT-8024GB,
and AT-8026FC Fast Ethernet Switches that reside in the same subnet.

For background information on enhanced stacking, refer to
Enhanced Stacking Overview on page 47.
Starting a Telnet
Management
Session
To start a Telnet management session, specify the IP address of the
switch in the Telnet application protocol and enter the management
software password when prompted. The default password is “admin”.
The Main Menu of a Telnet management session is the same menu that
you see in a local management session, shown in Figure 2 on page 26. All
of the functions from a local management session are available to you
from a Telnet management session.
The menus also function the same. To make a selection, type its
corresponding number of letter. To return to a previous menu, type R or
press ESC twice.
Note
You can run only one Telnet management session on a switch at a
time. Additionally, you cannot run both a Telnet management
session and a local management session on the same switch at the
same time.
