Telnet tips
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 switcher via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the MVX Plus 128 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 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 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 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 switcher ships with both passwords set to {carriage return}.
