6.4 Telnet Interface
The KPA 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 screen capture to the
right shows the login process:
Once logged into the Telnet
interface as Administrator,
the user can access the
standard remote control
interface defined in
Appendix C. REMOTE
CONTROL, as shown in
the example to the right:
There is a disadvantage when using Windows Command-line as Telnet Client. Since Command-
line 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. To do so, configure HyperTerminal as follows:
1. Ensure that connection is made
using TCP/IP (Winsock) instead of
COM1 or COM2, as shown her to
the left.
2. ASCII Setup (File Æ Properties Æ
Settings Æ ASCII 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 shown to the far right.
