InterMapper provides a telnet service that gives basic information about the devices being monitored as well as detailed information about the InterMapper server itself. Before InterMapper accepts Telnet connections, you must configure the Telnet Server firewall preferences as described in Configuring a Firewall.
You start, stop, and configure the firewall for the Telnet Server from the Telnet Server settings panel, in the Server Configuration section of the Server Settings window, as shown below:
To start, stop or configure the Telnet Server:
Note: The Server Settings window is available only to users who have administrator privileges.
For more information on configuring your Telnet Server, see Server Access Control. It describes how to set your Telnet Server's port, discusses encryption and when to use it, and describes how to configure the built-in firewall's list of IP addresses.
For more information on users and groups, see Users and Groups. It describes how to set up users and groups, and how you specify who may use the Telnet Server. It also discusses administrator access to the Telnet Server.
