Login to appliance using correct credential, once you logged in run below command and replace x.x.x.x with your target ip and Port with port number you want to check connectivity.

root@myserver [ ~ ]# curl -v telnet://x.x.x.x:Port
* Trying x.x.x.x:Port...
* Connected to x.x.x.x (x.x.x.x) port Port (#0)
^C
