Telnet Client
If you will be installing a Digi ConnectPort TS W device, ensure that your computer has a Telnet client
program installed:
1. Open a Command Prompt window.
2. Type telnet then press the Enter key.
3. If a message similar to “Welcome to Microsoft Telnet Client” is displayed, the program is installed.
Type q then press the Enter key to exit it.
4. If an error message is displayed that this “is not recognized as an internal or external command”,
and you are running Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008, or Windows 7, you need to enable
the Telnet program (it is disabled by default):
a. Open the Windows Control Panel.

Turn Windows features on or off. If you are prompted for an administrator
password or confirmation, type the password or provide confirmation.
d. In the Windows Features dialog box, select the Telnet Client checkbox.
e. Click
OK. The installation might take several minutes.
5. If no Telnet client is installed, you will need to install a third-party Telnet client. Refer to the
Installing a Third-Party Terminal Emulation Program or Telnet Client section.
Installing a Third-Party Terminal Emulation Program or Telnet Client
You only need to install a third-party terminal emulation program or Telnet client if the instructions above
indicated this was necessary.
There are many freeware, shareware, and commercial programs available. For your convenience we
have listed links to some of them. These four programs are free to download, and all can be used either
for serial port (terminal emulation) or TCP/IP (Telnet) communication. We have not used them, and make
no guarantees whatsoever about them:
