You need to set up the TELNET LISTENER on the port, then you can just
telnet DECSERVERIP 2000+port to get directly to the port. In your
case, the telnet port number would be 2007. Here are the commands:
CHANGE TELNET LISTENER 2007 PORT 7 ENABLED
CHANGE TELNET LISTENER 2007 CONNECTIONS ENABLED
CHANGE PORT 7 ACCESS DYNAMIC (or REMOTE)
After that, just telnet DECSERVERIP 2007 and you are connected to
the console. Use ^] to escape back to the telnet> prompt so you
can disconnect.
I do this with a DECserver 90M and DECserver 700.
The manual for the DECserver 700 is on www.dnpg.com.
