24.1. TELNET resource

The Abilis CPX TELNET resource includes Telnet server and client and it's present in the default configuration. It can be used for remote CPX management or to establish connections to remote devices which support the same protocol (i.e. Other routers).

24.1.1. TELNET resource parameters

Use d p telnet command to display the parameters of the resource. By typing d p telnet ? command it's possible to display the meaning of all parameters.
