Link with Telnet clients
Running a Telnet client and getting the DX Spots into TRX-Manager is possible provided your
Telnet client supports TCP/IP links. Some programs can support TCP/IP link with
TRX-Manager:

Generally, if you run the program on same computer, all you need is your Local IP address
(such as 127.0.0.1) and the Internet Port number. If you connect FROM your Telnet client,
you must set up the port number from the Preferences/Terminal of TRX-Manager.
Sequence for DX Telnet
The following sequences provided by Fabrizio IK4VYX author of DXTelnet have been
successfully tested. Please:
1. In the Site list select ACCEPT and click the Edit button at right :
1.
under Site Name, rename ACCEPT as ACCEPT_2.
2.
under Service port (set to 80), check Telnet.
3.
Service Type must be set to Other.
4.
click the Edit Script button. In the last line of the script, remove the comment
character in front of /F RELAY so that from '/F RELAY becomes /F RELAY.
2. Close all dialogs (click OK) and quit DXTelnet.
3. Restart DXTelnet and select ACCEPT_2 in the Site list ; press Enter. You will see a message
saying waiting for incoming connections and an IP number which is your IP number. Write
down this IP number.
4. Start TRX-Managerand its Telnet terminal. From the HOST text box, connect to the IP
number that you wrote down. Login into the DXTelnet shell by typing your callsign.
6. Now, start a second DXTelnet session and connect to the CQDX-IRC node. CQDX-IRC
Spots should start flowing into TRXManager.
Notes
writing down the IP number each time might not be very convenient : if you telnet from
TRXManager to 127.0.0.1 while ACCEPT_2 is active, it should work in most cases.
you may automate DXTelnet with one click. The launcher utility, embedded in DXTelnet, can be
configured to start both ACCEPT_2 and CQDX-IRC automatically with one click. So, once
configured, the link between the two applications would be fast and easy
