The Standard UNIX Telnet Command
Synopsis
telnet [host [port]]
Description
This command is used to communicate with another host using the Telnet protocol. When the
command telnet is invoked with host or port arguments, a connection is opened to the host, and
input is sent from the user to the host.
Options and Parameters
The command telnet operates in character-at-a-time or line-by-line mode. In line-by-line mode,
typed text is echoed to the screen. When the line is completed (by pressing the Enter key), the text
line is sent to host. In character-at-a-time mode, text is echoed to the screen and sent to host as it
is typed. At the UNIX prompt, type man telnet to view the options and parameters available with
the telnet command.
NOTE If your Telnet connection is in line-by-line mode, there is no local echo. This means you
cannot see the characters you are typing until you press the Enter key. To remedy this,
change your Telnet connection to character-by-character mode. Escape out of Telnet, and at
the telnet> prompt, type mode char. If this does not work, consult your Telnet program's
documentation.
Unix Telnet Example
To connect to the instrument with host name myInstrument and port number 5023, enter the
following command on the command line: telnet myInstrument 5023.
