Pix 506E Remote Admin via telnet - help!!!!!

[mickeyzalewski]

I installed a PIX 506E at a remote site yesterday - I used the PDM for most of the configuration - but looking back I think I would have been better off using a bare bones config from the CLI and tweaking it as necessary.
In any case I added remote management capabilities from telnet via the PDM - but now I am unable to acess the PIX.

configs the PDM inserted are below:

telnet X.X.187.0 255.255.255.224 outside

Why isn't it working?
I am trying to enable access from a /27 subnet.
The router I am telneting from is within the subnet range.
If anyone can recommend a config that should work I would appreciate it.

Also do I need to enable https from inside to outside or is it enabled by default?

HI.

Plain telnet will not work from outside.
You can use SSH.
You can also use TELNET/PDM over a VPN tunnel - this is more complicated.

Read here about TELNET and SSH:

Thanks,
I did some research over the weekend and realzed that SSH was probably the way to go.
Had someone enter the configs at the site and found an SSH client - everything works like a charm!
