NXB-KNX NetLinx KNX Interface

Programming - Telnet Commands

Overview

The NXB-KNX supports Telnet communications. This type of terminal communication can be accessed

remotely, via TCP/IP.

Telnet is an insecure form of terminal communication, since it does not require a physical connection to the

device to connect. Further, the Telnet interface exposes information to the network (which could be intercepted

by an unauthorized network client).

Refer to the Terminal Commands section on page 16 for a listing of all commands available in a terminal

session.

Establishing a Terminal Connection Via Telnet

1. In your Windows taskbar, go to Start > Run to open the Run dialog.

2. Type cmd in the Open field and click OK to open an instance of the Windows command interpreter

(Cmd.exe).

3. In the CMD (command), type "telnet" followed by a space and the NXB-KNX’s IP Address info.

Example:

>telnet XXX.XXX.XXX.XXX

4. Press Enter.

 Unless Telnet security is enabled, a session will begin with a welcome banner:

 If Telnet security is enabled, type in the word login to be prompted for a Username and

Password before gaining access to the NXB-KNX.

5. Enter your username to be prompted for a password.

 If the password is correct you will see the welcome banner.

 If the password is incorrect, the following will be displayed:

Password: *****

After a delay, another login prompt will be displayed to allow you to try again.

If after 5 prompts, the login information is not entered correctly, the following message will

be displayed and the connection closed:

It is recommended that you make initial configurations as well as subsequent

changes via the Web Console. Refer to the Configuration section on page 5.

If a connection is opened, but a valid a username / password combination is not

entered (i.e. just sitting at a login prompt), the connection will be closed after one

minute.
