To access the IntelliBox by using Telnet, perform the following steps.

1.

Click Start > Run. The Run dialog box displays.

2.

Type cmd in the dialog box and press OK.

3.

Type telnet x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x is the IP address). The IntelliBox is online when the 
command prompt (>) displays.  You are at the root level of the CLI.

The serial port can be configured to operate in command mode permanently or to be triggered 
under specified conditions. See the line <line> Level command description for more 
information.

In this mode, the normal boot process is interrupted, allowing recovery from unknown or incorrect 
configuration settings. While the back door is active, the CLI prompt is changed to “>>” (instead of 
“>”) and the Web Manager is inaccessible. These serve as an important indication that the device 
boot processes has been temporarily halted. To complete the boot process, terminate the serial 
CLI session (with the exit command).
