Telnet
TelnetDevice can be used to send commands via an available serial port to 3rd party products. For more information on how rs232 works please see this page.
TelnetDevices are used by the Control Layer and the DVIMatrixControl layer.
A TelnetDevice is created in the same way as any other device type. Please see the earlier sub-chapter Creating devices for step-by-step instructions on how to create a device. This will open the TelnetDevice editor (explained below).
IP Address
The IP address of the destination 3rd party hardware. You must ensure that your network topology is configured to allow communications between the two machines.
Port
The network port of the destination 3rd party hardware. Telnet is traditionally port 23.
Connect
The telnet port can be opened once at startup of d3 and held open or can be opened for every send of a command.
