Using the Terminal Configurator
[telnet]
The following section specifies the operating parameters for the Telnet protocol.
∙connect. This entry dictates what kind of prompt is seen on the serial port output. The two choices available are: wait for keystroke and command prompt. The default command prompt will give a prompt "telnet>", much like the Telnet software prompt on a UNIX system. From this prompt, using the “open” command will then connect the device to a particular machine. For example, typing “open 10.10.10.129” will open a Telnet session to the machine with the IP address 10.10.10.129. The second choice wait for keystroke allows for a configuration that only connects to one machine, requiring only a key press to initiate the connection.
∙wait data 1. The text for this entry is used as a prompt in the "wait for keystroke mode". The value is specified as a combination ASCII values. The default value is "Press any key to connect to host..." (The
∙wait data 2. This entry states what text to display after the keystroke is received. The format of the data is the same as in “wait data 1”. The default is “0xd 0xa” (without the quotes), which will move the cursor to the next line.
∙ip address. When in wait for keystroke mode, this specifies the IP address of the machine to automatically connect to. 10.10.10.129 is the default.
∙tcp port. When in wait for keystroke mode, this specifies the TCP port number to connect to automatically. The default is port number is 23.
∙reopen after shutdown. After one connection has been completed this value will appear and ask to connect again. The default is on.
