Telnet Tips
It is not the intention of this manual to detail all of the operations and functionality of Telnet;
however, some basic level of understanding is necessary for operating the media player via
Telnet.
Open
Connect to the media player using the Open command. Once you are connected to the
player, you can enter the MSVPP commands the same as you would if you were using the
RS-232 link.
Connect to the media player by, at the Telnet prompt, typing
open
<
IP address
> 4000
(or
4001
) and then pressing <Enter>. As soon as you issue the command, the connection is
established. No further prompts are displayed until you break or disconnect the connection
to the matrix player.
NOTE:
4000
is for player control,
4001
is for serial port pass-through.

The session can also be established directly from the Command prompt by typing
Telnet
