How to use Telnet to access a Meridian 1 system
First you need a client that supports RLOGIN.
You cannot TELNET to connect to the ethernet port.
Some clients that I know will work are Reflections, Exceed, ProComm Plus,
as well as some free RLOGIN clients you can download from the internet.
One program that works is called SM Telnet
(Web site =
& the program fits onto a floppy disk. It’s an unregistered copy which allows you up to 15 minutes online, each time until you have it registered on the owners website.
You need to connect via RLOGIN directly to the Meridian PBX ip address
For this you need to build a pseudo TTY (PTY in ADAN on a empty DNUM)
e.g.
ADAN TTY 14
TTY_TYPE PTY
PORT 1 (0 to 3 for Opt11)
DES remote
FLOW NO
USER MTC SCH BUG
TTYLOG 0
BANR NO
The RLOGIN command in UNIX to get in is as follows:
rlogin -l CPSID0000 ip.addr.of.pbx
You can change the CPSIDxxxx as follows:
CPSID1000 is with MTC on the port
CPSID0100 is with SCH on the port
CPSID0010 is with BUG on the port
CPSID0001 is with TRF on the port
See the sigifigance of the '1'??
You can combine these,
CPSID1110 is with MTC,SCH & BUG, but no traffic
CPSID0011 is BUG and TRF but no MTC or SCH.
Procomm Plus doesn't support RLOGIN, but you could setup a Telnet server.
A emulator called ZOC from Emtec is also a good Rlogin emulator because it has scripts. They are written with REXX but I have been able to convert many of my Procomm (Aspect) Scripts to ZOc's (Rexx).
