Telnet Window

NetLinx Studio provides a Telnet interface to NetLinx and Axcess devices. NetLinx Studio supports multiple
simultaneous Telnet sessions. Select Tools > Telnet Session to invoke the Telnet window. Use the Telnet window to
communicate directly with the Master Controller in situations where a Terminal session is not desirable.
To use the Telnet window with NetLinx systems, you must be able to access the LAN on which the Master resides via
TCP/IP. Otherwise, you can use a Terminal session for terminal control of NetLinx systems.
