Telnet_demo

Home » Example Programs » Telnet_demo

The Telnet_demo example program shows the use of an Telnet Server to control an embedded system. The application runs in the Local Area Network (LAN). Example projects are located in the folder \ARM\Boards\vendor\board\RL\TCPnet.

Network Configuration

Specify network parameters like IP Address, Subnet Mask, Default Gateway, and Primary DNS Server IP address in the section Ethernet Network Interface of the file Net_Config.c. To configure the parameters:

• Automatically: enable the option Dynamic Host Configuration (#define DHCP_ENABLE 1). A DHCP Server must exist in the LAN to provide the parameter values for the embedded system.
• Statically: enter the parameter values manually. Disable the option Dynamic Host Configuration (#define DHCP_ENABLE 0). Specify a free IP address and copy the netmask from the LAN configuration. A DNS Server IP address is not necessary for this example and can be left at 0.0.0.0.

Testing the Telnt_demo

The project includes two targets:

• MCB2300: configures the application for the production environment.
• MCB2300 Debug: configures the application to display debugging information as specified in the file Net_Debug.c.

Test the application with a TELNET Client program.

1. Connect ULINK to the PC and to the board.
2. Build the application.
3. Download the application to Flash.
4. Connect the board to the LAN.
5. Open the Command Prompt and enter the following command to test the connection:

   ping mcb2300
   

   On a positive result, use the commands described in the table below to communicate with the target system. The host name mcb2300 is defined in the file Net_Config.c as described in System Definitions.

6. To view the debugging information, open a terminal emulation program (for example, HyperTerminal) with the following characteristics:
   • COM Port: COM1.
   • Baud rate: 115200.
   • Data bits: 8.
   • Parity: None.
   • Stop bits: 1.
   • Flow control: None.
   

The following commands can be used:

By default, user authentication is enabled requiring login credentials. The default username is admin with no password. Press enter to connect.

Check the integrated commands with the help command.

Use the command meas to sample analog inputs and to display the result. The command example below, meas 10, shows 10 measurements.

Display the current password with the command passwd.
Define a new password with the command passw.

Check the remote machine's IP and MAC address with the command rinfo.

Monitor the status of the TCP socket with the command tcpstat. The values are updated continuously.

Note

• Windows operating systems include a TELNET Client program, however, it might need enabling.
