Accessing target serial port

You can use telnet to connect to the Ethernet TAP probe target serial port and access the serial port of your target system remotely over Ethernet.

To telnet to target serial port

To make sure that you have physically connected the Ethernet TAP probe RJ-11 cable to your target system ,seeConnecting Ethernet TAP probe to target system topic.
To verify the serial port settings, see Configuring target serial port topic.
Start a telnet session and connect to the Ethernet TAP probe Target Serial port:
```
telnet {hostname | ip_address} 1082
```
Use the host name or IP address of the probe. For static IP, the host name must be the same one you entered into the hosts database file; see Connecting to network or Setting up standalone PC Ethernet topic. To identify the IP address of any probe on the subnet, see Using efind to discover Ethernet TAP probes topic. The Ethernet TAP probe Target Serial port number is 1082.
You should now have access to the serial port of your target system. You can use this connection in the same manner as if your host computer were connected directly to the serial port of your target system.
