4.8 Telnet Setup
With a telnet program, you can connect to the iServer using its IP address and TCP Port
2000. In
Continuous
mode (refer to Configuration:Sensors page
Section 4.4.3.2
), the
telnet session will receive continuous data (temperature 1, temperature 2, and differential)
from the iServer. In
Command
mode, a command can be sent to query the iServer.
Refer to
Section 4.9.1
for list of commands.
4.8.1 Telnet Connection
Telnet stands for Telecommunications Network, it is a protocol that provides a way for
users to connect to a node with a valid IP address anywhere on an Ethernet network or
the Internet . You can open a Telnet session using a terminal emulation programs like
Tera Term (downloadable from the internet), which is a free software for Windows.
You can initiate a telnet connection by typing the IP address of the iServer, and Port
2002 for logging into the iServer’s telnet consol port (see
Figure 4.37
). By telneting to
Port 2000, you will be able to access temperature, humidity, and dew point readings.
The default password for Telnet Login is
00000000
and can be changed if
desired
.

Once the connection is established you will be prompted for an Administrator Password
(default is 00000000). Telnet console port (2002) allows users to configure some
