Using
‘PuTTY’ to Communicate to the API
Upon opening PuTTY (a Windows communication program) to communicate to a switch, you
must first set the following:
1. Under ‘Category,’ click on Session
2.
Under ‘Connection type,’ select 'Raw' mode
3. Change the port to 17567
4. Under ‘Category,’ click on Terminal
5. Under ‘Set various terminal options,’ check the 'Implicit CR in every LF' box.
6. Click Open.
You may also use telnet to access the ASCII control port. The command syntax is:
telnet IPaddress 17567
Replace IPaddress with the actual IP address of the switch.
