Example
On the client, the command line for initiating a "reverse telnet" connection might look like this:
telnet 172.16.1.254 2002
(The syntax in the above example would be valid for the command-line telnet client packaged with many operating systems, including most Unixes, or available as an option or add-on.)
In this example, 172.16.1.254 is the IP address of the console device, and 2002 is the TCP port associated with a terminal line on the server.

Famous quotes containing the word example:
“Our intellect is not the most subtle, the most powerful, the most appropriate, instrument for revealing the truth. It is life that, little by little, example by example, permits us to see that what is most important to our heart, or to our mind, is learned not by reasoning but through other agencies. Then it is that the intellect, observing their superiority, abdicates its control to them upon reasoned grounds and agrees to become their collaborator and lackey.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
