1. Introduction
The Telnet driver allows a user to connect to the FieldServer using a standard Telnet client
(such as the Windows Telnet client). A command prompt is provided which allows the user to
request specific driver functions. Presently, the following functions are implemented:
1. help / ?: lists available commands and states their functions.
2. port: this allows the user to take over a serial port.
3. linefeed: this allows the user to control sending and receiving of line feeds in association
with carriage returns.
4. echo: allows the user to determine whether characters typed into the Telnet terminal
should be echoed by the FieldServer.
5. verbose: allows the user to determine the level of detail of diagnostic messages.
6. tab: allows the user to select substitution of received tab characters by space characters
The driver will support up to 5 concurrent Telnet sessions but will not allow two sessions to
control the same serial port.
