Appendix B – Telnet (Terminal) Commands

109

Instruction Manual – DXLink™ Twisted Pair Transmitters/Receiver

To establish a terminal connection via NetLinx Studio:

In the Online Tree, select the DXLink unit and right-click to access the short-cut menu.

2. Select Launch Telnet Window via NetLinx Studio.

The Telnet window opens and the welcome banner appears.

3. At the prompt (>), type the Telnet command and press Enter.

Telnet Username and Password

The following commands are used to set the Telnet username and password for a Telnet connection:

Set Telnet Username

Set Telnet Password

By default, both the username and password are blank (empty strings). Performing a factory reset on the device with the

Pushbutton will return these values to that default. For details, see page 70.

Username – Setting the Username will have no effect if the password remains blank (empty string). That

is defining the username alone will not result in Telnet prompting for a user login.

Password – Setting the Password will cause Telnet to prompt for a user login, whether the username has

been defined or not. If the username has been defined, this value must be entered.

However, since the password can be set independently of the username, it’s possible to have a password

defined, but the username still at its default (blank, empty string). In this case do not enter anything for the

username when prompted. Simply press Enter, which will then present the password prompt. Here, the

defined password must be entered in order to successfully open the Telnet session.

Additional Notes

Both the Telnet username and password are case-sensitive.

Three consecutive, unsuccessful attempts to log in to Telnet will cause the Telnet window to close.

Re-launching Telnet will again present the login prompt, with a fresh “batch” of login attempts.

If a Telnet login fails because of an incorrect username, an “Invalid Password” message will appear

(as opposed to an “Invalid Username” message).

The username and password are saved after reboot or power cycle.

The username and password are deleted/removed after a factory reset.
