Establishing a Telnet Connection
A Telnet connection offers the convenience of accessing Alteon from any workstation connected to the network. Telnet access provides the same options for user access and administrator access as those available through the console port.
To configure Alteon for Telnet access, you need to have a device with Telnet software located on the same network as Alteon. Alteon must have an IP address. Alteon can acquire its IP address in one of the following ways:
*Dynamically, from a BOOTP server on your network. See Using a BOOTP Server.
*Manually, when you configure the IP address.
Note: Before you can use these methods for accessing Alteon, you need to enable Telnet and SSH using a serial connection.
