Telnet tips
It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality
of Telnet; however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the
matrix switcher via Telnet.
Open
Connect to the BME using the Open command. Once you are connected to the
switcher, you can enter the SIS commands the same as you would if you were using
either serial port.
Connect to the BME as follows:
1 . At the Telnet prompt, type open {IP address} and then press Enter .
If the BME is not password protected , no further prompts are displayed until
you break or disconnect the connection to the matrix switcher.
If the BME is password protected , Telnet displays the password prompt.
2 . If necessary, at the password prompt, type {password} and then press Enter .
Connection to the BME via the Ethernet can be password protected. There
are two levels of password protection: administrator and user. A person
logged on as an administrator has full access to all matrix switcher switching
capabilities and editing functions. Users can create ties, set mutes, and view
all settings with the exception of passwords. By default, all BMEs ship with
both passwords set to {carriage return}.
Once you are logged in, the BME returns either Login Administrator or Login
User . No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect the
connection to the BME matrix switcher.
