6.5.1 Telnet Operation via HyperTerminal

There is a disadvantage when using Windows Command-line as a Telnet client. Since Command-
line cannot translate a '\r' (i.e., carriage return or "CR") to a '\r\n' (i.e., CR+line feed "LF") for
the messages coming from Telnet Server, any multi-line Target-to-Controller response (e.g., the
response to the FRW? query) will be displayed as one line, with the latter lines overwriting the
previous lines.
In order to view the full response messages, CEFD recommends using HyperTerminal configured
as Telnet Client. To do so, configure HyperTerminal as follows:
1. Ensure that connection is made
using TCP/IP (Winsock) instead
of COM1 or COM2, as shown in
the example to the near right.
2. ASCII Setup (File  Properties
 Settings  ASCII Setup):
Check the "Send line ends with
line feeds" option in the ASCII
Sending section and the
"Append line feeds to incoming
line ends" option in the ASCII
Receiving section, as shown in the example to the far right.
Examples of login and remote command/query execution, when using HyperTerminal as the
interface, appear as follows:
The Telnet interface is also available for use with the menu-driven Command Line Interface
(CLI) provided with the optional Network Processor (NP) Interface – but only when the security
level setting for the NP Interface has been set as "Low".
