After you log into the Telnet interface as the Administrator, you can use the standard remote-control
interface, defined in
Chapter 5. SERIAL-BASED REMOTE PRODUCT MANAGEMENT , as
shown here:
4.4.1 Telnet Operation via HyperTerminal
There is a disadvantage when using Windows Command-line as a Telnet client. Since Command-
line cannot translate a ‘\r’ (i.e., carriage return or “CR”) to a ‘\r\n’ (i.e., CR+line feed “LF”) for
the messages coming from Telnet Server, any multi-line Target-to-Controller response (e.g., the
response to the FRW? query) will be displayed as one line, with the latter lines overwriting the
previous lines.
In order to view the full response messages, Comtech recommends use of the HyperTerminal
terminal emulation program, configured as a Telnet client.
Configure HyperTerminal as follows:
1) Ensure that the connection is made
using
TCP/IP (Winsock) instead
of COM1 or COM2, as shown at
the near right.
2) ASCII Setup (File

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 at the far right.
