FYI I fixed this problem myself.
I changed the port type to Device, the Host Device to Network, The Login
Service to Telnet, Port 6029 and tried Telnetting to the port.
Of course I had no response but even so, I entered the !root login name and
password. I then ^] disconnected the Telnet session, rechecked the status
and now it showed IDLE.
I'm not sure if all thse steps were necessary but it did fix the problem.

Is 'telnetting' a valid word? :-)
