Appendix B – Telnet (Terminal) Commands

Establishing a Terminal Connection Via Telnet

Telnet terminal communication is accessed remotely via TCP/IP. The Transmitter or Receiver must have

its own TCP/IP address for a Telnet connection. The connection can be started from the Windows

taskbar (see below) or in NetLinx Studio (see the following page).

By default, a User Name and Password are not applied to the Telnet port (Port 23). Therefore, the port

does not require login credentials.

Welcome Banner with and without Security Enabled:

Without Telnet security enabled, a session will begin with a welcome banner similar to the

following:

If Telnet security is enabled, user credentials are required:

Enter username: admin

Enter protected password: ****

Note: When security is enabled, a user can retry logging in three times before being disconnected.

To establish a terminal connection via Telnet at the CMD prompt:

In your Windows taskbar, go to Start > Run to open the Run dialog box.

2. Type cmd in the Open field.

3. Click OK to open an instance of the Windows command interpreter (cmd.exe).

4. At the prompt (>), type telnet followed by a space and the Transmitter or Receiver’s IP address.

Example:

>telnet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

A Telnet session opens for the Transmitter or Receiver and the welcome banner appears.

5. At the prompt, type the Telnet command and press Enter.
