Using Telnet with CiscoRemote Plus


You can use the Telnet application to log in to remote computers, called hosts or Telnet servers, and access their services. When you are connected, your computer functions like a terminal connected to the Telnet server. You can execute commands, run programs, and access special services offered by the Telnet server.

Telnet can emulate Digital Equipment Corporation (DEC) VT220, VT102, and VT52 terminals and communicate with a server using the Telnet protocol.

When you use Telnet to access a Telnet server, you must use the server's commands and follow its user interface conventions. With Telnet, you can run script files, create and use login scripts, and redefine your keyboard to better match the type of terminal your PC is emulating. You have to become familiar with a Telnet server's commands and programs to use it effectively. Ask the server administrator for this information.

Connecting to a Telnet Server

Before you connect to a Telnet server, gather the following information:

If you do not have this information, contact the administrator of the Telnet server you want to access.

Take the following steps to connect to a Telnet server:


Step 1   Double-click on the Telnet icon in the CiscoRemote program group.

The Telnet window opens. (See Figure 12-1.)

Step 3   Enter the name or IP address of the Telnet server in the Host Name field.


Note      To avoid entering the name or IP address for a specific host each time you want to connect, you can enter a name in the Session Name field. When you click OK, the new session name appears in the Connect menu and you can select it to establish your connection.


Step 4   Click OK.

Step 5   Enter your account name at the login prompt.

Step 6   Enter your password, if necessary.

Step 7   Press Enter.

You are now logged in to the Telnet server and can enter commands.


Note      You must use the commands accepted by the type of server you have accessed.


Disconnecting from a Telnet Server

Take the following steps to disconnect from a Telnet server:


Step 1   Log out of the remote system using the appropriate command.

Step 2   Select Disconnect from the Connect menu.

Your session with the Telnet server is ended.
