Once you have added a generic event (see
How to Add a Generic Event

your generic event is to first set up an event notification and then use Telnet to send a small amount

you can connect to a server from a computer on the network, and execute commands through Telnet
as if you were entering them directly on the server. Windows includes a client for use with Telnet.
For this example, we have created a generic event called Video. Our generic event simply specifies

and select your generic event. Then click the >> button to move the selected generic event to
the Active Events list:
