Use the following procedure to open a Telnet or SSH client window.

You are prompted to log in if the OS is version 5.3.0 or later; otherwise, the selected switch
displays in the Switch View.

2. Select Telnet/SSH Client in the Other section of the Tasks panel. The Preference dialog box

displays.

3. Select the client by clicking Telnet or SSH.

To avoid the need to remember and key in the path, you can store the path on your PC and
browse to the location. Clicking the button to the right of the field initiates the browse
capability.

The Telnet or SSH window displays.

6. Enter your user credentials at the login prompt.
