Powerconnect 8164 console prompt via telnet
We have a Powerconnect 8164 that I would like to configure. I can telnet into it but unlike every example I find it does not present me with a prompt like this:
console#
Instead it just says
Escape character is '^]'.
It does not ask me for a username or password. If I enter the escape character I can get to a prompt like this:
telnet>
which does accept some telnet commands. How do I get to a console prompt via telnet?

A ? yields:

Commands may be abbreviated. Commands are:
close close current connection
logout forcibly logout remote user and close the connection
display display operating parameters
mode try to enter line or character mode ('mode ?' for more)
open connect to a site
quit exit telnet
send transmit special characters ('send ?' for more)
set set operating parameters ('set ?' for more)

toggle toggle operating parameters ('toggle ?' for more)
slc change state of special charaters ('slc ?' for more)
z suspend telnet
! invoke a subshell
environ change environment variables ('environ ?' for more)
? print help information
If I look at status:
telnet> status
Connected to .
Operating with LINEMODE option
No line editing
No catching of signals
Special characters are local values
Local character echo
No flow control
Escape character is '^]'.

Yes it is in production and by itself. Can you describe or show a picture of a console cable so I can look for it in our storage area?
