```
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. To identify the IP address of any probe on the subnet, see Using Efind to Discover Ethernet TAP Probes. The Ethernet TAP probe Target Serial port number is 1082.

You should now have access to the serial port of your target system.
