TELNET (TELecommunication NETwork) is a network protocol used on the Internet or local area network (LAN) connections.
The Telnet protocol type is the correct setting for most servers and serial devices, such as Managed Ethernet switches or
Gateways. In most of the case, the telnet use TCP port 23 as communication port.
The parameter defines the maintenance status for Telnet server

The page includes the following fields:
• TCP Port Number
The TCP port that ICS-210x uses to listen to connections and that other device
must use to contact ICS-210x. To avoid conflicts with well known TCP ports, the
default is set to “1024”.
• Inactive Timeout
Use the parameter to set an inactive timeout. The unit drops the connection if
there is no activity on the serial line before the set time expires. To disable the
inactive timeout enter “0”.
The ICS-210x’s “telnet server mode”--if the user used the MS-DOS telnet command it will
show double character. So the user can use other Telnet software like: “putty” or “NetTerm”.
