Telnet Client Operation
AT+i Programmer‘s Manual Version 8.32 31-1
31 Telnet Client Operation
There are four operation modes for most Telnet applications, namely, half-duplex,
character at a time, line at a time, and line mode.
iChip incorporates two methods to send data to the remote Telnet server: One line at a
time, namely, an AT+i command (
+iTSND) is used to send a single (CR/LF terminated
line to the Telnet server); and Binary Transmission, where an AT+i command (+iTBSN)
is used to send an arbitrary amount of binary data.
Data is retrieved from the remote Telnet server as it is made available. Embedded Telnet
options in the server‘s response stream are stripped by iChip before being turned over to
the host.
Telnet specifies many operational options. iChip restricts its operation mode to the
minimum implementation to assure best intersystem compatibility.
Following are the Telnet options negotiated by iChip:
