How to Telnet a DNS-323

The DNS-323 is a network storage device that runs a lightweight Linux operating system. Its purpose is to hold a large amount of hard drives for storage or backup purposes on the network so that users can directly connect to it instead of having to pass through a dedicated computer to access the data. You can use the Telnet command on your Windows computer to connect to the operating system on the DNS-323 as long as you have the device's IP address and password, which is included in the user manual and is printed on the bottom of the device.

Instructions

1. Open the Start Menu on your computer.

2. Open the Control Panel, then open the Programs and Features section.

3. Click "Turn Windows Features on or off," then click the check box next to "Telnet Client," then click "OK" to turn Telnet on.

4. Open the Start Menu, then type "cmd" into the search box.

5. Press "Enter" to open the command prompt.

6. Type "telnet 123.123.123.123 /user:admin /password:device_password" into the command prompt, where "123.123.123.123" is the DNS-323's IP address and "device_password" is the password.

7. Press "Enter" and you are connected to the device through Telnet.
