3.5 Starting Outbound Connections

When logged into the MSS, users can make basic outgoing connections 

using the methods on the following page. See the MSS Reference Manual on 

CD-ROM for more information about incoming and outgoing connections.

NOTE:

Outgoing connections cannot be made via the same method as the 

incoming connection was made. In other words, if a user Telnets 

into the MSS, he cannot Telnet back out. 

3.5.1 Telnet

To start an outgoing Telnet session, type “Telnet” at the Local prompt, 

followed by either the host’s name or its numeric IP address.
