4.1 Introduction
Telnet is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area networks to provide a
bidirectional interactive text-oriented communications tool using a virtual terminal
connection. User data is interspersed in-band with telnet control information in an 8-bit
byte oriented data connection over the Transmission Control Protocol (TCP). This is a
useful common protocol used to dialog with a remote machine.
A telnet connection is opened with any valid login, which can be administrator,
anonymous, or whatever other logins are configured.
- For windows users, click Start -> Run -> then type telnet + IP address (IP address is
the controller address you are connecting to) as below:
- The telnet window is opened, type login (here login and password are
“Administrator”):
- An arrow appears which indicates that the telnet connection is ready for
communication.
- Several telnet session window can be opened concurrently.
