Connect Using TELNET Transport

This type of connection consists of a host system connected to an Internet network. The serviced system connects to a terminal or console server using DECconnect cables and adapters or the equivalent. Console Manager then uses TELNET to connect to the terminal servers. Ensure you use a terminal server that supports TELNET protocol. The following figure shows a TELNET connection.

Note: In order for you to be notified if your TELNET connection is disconnected, and for the console controller to detect this state, your chosen terminal server must support the TELNET STATUS option as described in RFC859
