Configuring Telnet Settings
Use the System > Telnet menu to configure parameters for accessing the CLI over a Telnet
connection. You can access the onboard configuration program over the network using Telnet (i.e.,
a virtual terminal). Management access via Telnet can be enabled/disabled and other parameters
set, including the TCP port number, time outs, and a password. Note that the password is only
configurable through the CLI.) These parameters can be configured via the web or CLI interface.

• Max Sessions – Sets the maximum number of Telnet sessions that can simultaneously
connect to this system. (Range: 0-8)
A maximum of eight sessions can be concurrently opened for Telnet and Secure Shell (i.e.,

attempt is not detected within the timeout interval, the connection is terminated for the
session. (Range: 10-300 seconds; Default: 300 seconds)
