Connecting to the CLI using Telnet
Once the FortiVoice unit is configured to accept Telnet connections, you can use a Telnet client
on your management computer to connect to the CLI.
Requirements
• a FortiVoice network interface configured to accept Telnet connections (see “Enabling
access to the CLI through the network (SSH or Telnet)” on page 7)
• terminal emulation software such as PuTTY
To connect to the CLI using Telnet
1. On your management computer, start PuTTY.
2. In Host Name (or IP Address), type the IP address of a network interface on which you have
enabled Telnet administrative access.
3. In Port, type 23.
4. From Connection type, select Telnet.
5. Click Open.
The CLI displays a login prompt.
6. Type a valid administrator account name (such as admin) and press Enter.

Command syntax
When entering a command, the command line interface (CLI) requires that you use valid syntax,
and conform to expected input constraints. It will reject invalid commands.
If four incorrect login or password attempts occur in a row, you will be disconnected. Wait one
minute, then reconnect to attempt the login again.
Telnet is not a secure access method. SSH should be used to access the CLI from the Internet
or any other untrusted network.
If three incorrect login or password attempts occur in a row, you will be disconnected. Wait
one minute, then reconnect to attempt the login again.
