## 6.1 Enabling Equinox Console

The Equinox console is not enabled by default. To enable it place the setting

    osgi.console=2401

in the `org.eclipse.virgo.kernel.launch.properties` file in the `lib` directory. Any free port can be used, but 2401 is the usual default.

Alternatively, you can enable the Equinox console when starting Virgo by passing the `-Fosgi.console` parameter to the startup script, for example:

#### Microsoft Windows

    prompt> cd %SERVER_HOME%
    prompt> bin\startup.bat "-Fosgi.console=2401"

#### Linux

    prompt$ cd $SERVER_HOME
    prompt$ bin/startup.sh -Fosgi.console=2401

You can run the Equinox console via telnet to the configured port:

    prompt$ telnet localhost 2401
    Trying ::1...
    Connected to localhost.
    Escape character is '^]'.
