6.4 Telnet Interface
The MBT-5003 provides a Telnet interface for the purpose of Equipment M&C via the standard
equipment Remote Control protocol.
The Telnet interface requires user login at the Administrator level and Read/Write level.
The example shown to the
right illustrates the login
procedure:
Once logged into the
Telnet interface as
Administrator, the user can
access the standard remote
control interface defined in
Appendix A. REMOTE
CONTROL, as shown in
example to the right:
There is a disadvantage when using Windows DOS as Telnet Client. Since Windows DOS cannot
translate a ‘\r’ to a ‘\r\n’ for the messages coming from Telnet Server, the multi-line command
response (for example, FRW? response) will be displayed as one line, with the latter lines overwriting
the previous lines. In order to view the full response messages, CEFD recommends using
HyperTerminal configured as Telnet Client.
Configure HyperTerminal as follows:
1. Use TCP/IP (Winsock)
nstead of COM1 or COM2 for
the connection, as per the
example to the near right.
2. ASCII Setup (FileÆ
Properties ÆSettingsÆASCII
Setup):
Check the "Send line ends
with line feeds" option in the
ASCII Sending section and the
"Append line feeds to
incoming line ends" option in
the ASCII Receiving section, as
per the example to the far right.
