FS-8704-11 Telnet Driver Manual

Page 1 of 6

1.Introduction

The Telnet driver allows a user to connect to the FieldServer using a standard Telnet client (such as the Windows Telnet client). A command prompt is provided which allows the user to request specific driver functions. Presently, the following functions are implemented:

1.help / ?: lists available commands and states their functions.

2.port: this allows the user to take over a serial port.

3.linefeed: this allows the user to control sending and receiving of line feeds in association with carriage returns.

4.echo: allows the user to determine whether characters typed into the Telnet terminal should be echoed by the FieldServer.

5.verbose: allows the user to determine the level of detail of diagnostic messages.

6.tab: allows the user to select substitution of received tab characters by space characters

The driver will support up to 5 concurrent Telnet sessions but will not allow two sessions to control the same serial port.
