Cisco Cisco Aironet 340 Ethernet Bridges Guia Do Utilizador

When starting a telnet session with the connect option:

n Make sure the telnet option on the remote is enabled before connect-

ing to a remote bridge or client. See “Telnet Access” in Chapter 2.

n A message is printed on the remote’s Console stating where the con-

nections originated from. The Console is then disabled for the dura-
tion of the telnet session to prevent conflicting commands.

n The remote’s Console privilege is set to the highest level that does 

not have a password. 

While the unit is attempting to connect to the remote node, the connec-
tion can be terminated by typing “CTRL-C”. This may be required if the 
incorrect address was entered.

After connecting, you can close a telnet session and return to the local 
console by:

n Typing the escape sequence of characters as defined by the 

escape option in the Diagnostics Menu. See “Changing the 
Escape Sequence”.

n If the remote node is an Aironet node, choose the close option 

which is accessible on the Console Port Main Menu during a tel-
net session only.

n Using the remote node’s logout command.

Use the escape option to change the sequence of characters that are 
assigned to close a telnet session to a remote destination. Typically, you 
would change the sequence if the current sequence has meaning to the 
remote system.

The sequence may be up to 10 characters in length. To enter non-
printable characters in the sequence you may:

n Use the two-character combination of caret (^) and the alphabetic 

character corresponding to the control character. For example, to 
enter “control Z”, use the string “^Z”.

n Use a backslash “\” followed by three octal numbers

n Use a dollar sign “$” followed by two hexadecimal numbers
