To control the 8685 externally via TCP/IP, establish a Telnet/SSH connection and issue
commands and parameters, either by typing them directly into a Telnet/SSH client or
by placing them within batch files. Then process them with a scriptable Telnet/SSH
client that supports this operation, such as PuTTY, along with its companion com-
mand-line interpreter, Plink. Both of these applications are available for free
download from the following web site:
http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/
