Connecting to the DRAC/MC Using Microsoft Telnet for Telnet Console Redirection
Microsoft Telnet requires that you first enable Telnet in Windows Component Services. After
Telnet is enabled, connect to the DRAC/MC by performing the following steps:
1 Open a command prompt.
2 Type telnet <DRAC/MC IP address>:<port number> and press <Enter>
(where IP address is the IP address for the DRAC/MC and port number is the Telnet
port number if it has been changed from its default value of 23).
NOTE:
The DRAC/MC default IP address is 192.168.0.120.
3 See "Using a Serial or Telnet Console" on page 17 for information on using the Telnet
console.
Using a Serial or Telnet Console
NOTE:
If you are running the Windows XP or Windows Server 2003 operating system and experience
problems in a DRAC/MC Telnet session, see the Microsoft Knowledge Base article 824810 on the
Microsoft Support site at support.microsoft.com for more information and an available hotfix.
NOTE:
On a Windows 2000 management station, pressing the <F2> key does not enter BIOS setup. To
resolve this problem, use the Telnet client supplied with the Windows Services for UNIX
®

from Microsoft. You can download Windows Services for UNIX 3.5 from
