Telnet Device

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 Matrix Control layer.

Creating a TelnetDevice

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).
