Command Prompt Connection Configuration
This section describes the command prompt connection method for a serial telnet client.
The command prompt connection method provides a “telnet prompt” to the serial terminal.
From the telnet prompt, a user can open a telnet session to any computer or device that is
accessible on the network and is capable of accepting telnet connections.
To establish a telnet connection, type the command “open” followed by the IP address of
the host computer or device. The IP address may optionally be followed by the TCP port
number on which to open the connection. If the port number is omitted, the industry
standard, default telnet port number of 23 is used.
When the telnet connection is closed, the Ethernet Adapter will present a new telnet
prompt.
To configure your Ethernet Adapter as a serial telnet client using the command prompt
connection method, complete the configuration described in
Serial Telnet Client
Configuration
steps 1–6, and then perform the following steps:

You must use the IP address and not the name of the host since only
IP addresses are recognized by the Ethernet Adapter. You can PING the
host name to determine the IP address.
