Getting Started Outbound Connections
3-7
To connect to the remote console port, use the Telnet command followed by the MSS IP address and the
remote console port number (7000). You will have to enter the login password. The default login password
is access. For more information on the login password, see
Login Passwords on page 3-2.
After you issue the appropriate password, you will see a Username> prompt. Enter a username to identify
yourself as the current user.
Note: This username is arbitrary and used only for convenience. It is not associated with
authentication.

Outbound Connections
When logged into the MSS, users can make basic outgoing connections using the methods described in this
section. See the MSS Reference Manual on the CD-ROM for more information about incoming and outgoing
connections.
Note: If you Telnet into the MSS, you cannot make outgoing connections.
To start an outgoing Telnet session, type Telnet at the Local> prompt, followed by either the host’s name
or its numeric IP address.
