Remarks
The Telnet protocol is used to establish a connection with a
server which provides a virtual terminal session for a user. Its
functionality is similar to how character based consoles and serial
terminals work, enabling a user to login to the server, execute
commands and interact with applications running on the remote host.
The Telnet control provides an interface for establishing the
connection, negotiating certain options (such as whether characters
will be echoed back to the client) and handling the standard I/O
functions needed by the program. The control also provides methods
that enable a program to easily scan the data stream for specific
sequences of characters, making it very simple to write
light-weight client interfaces to applications running on the
server. This control can be combined with the Terminal Emulation
control to provide complete terminal emulation services for a
standard ANSI or DEC-VT220 terminal.
This control supports secure connections using the standard SSL
and TLS protocols. A SocketTools Secure Visual Edition license must
be purchased to use the security features in this control.
Requirements
This ActiveX control is supported on Windows 2000, Windows XP,
Windows Server 2003, Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. If you
are using Windows 2000, it is required that you have Service Pack
(SP4) installed. If you are using Windows XP, it is required that
you have at least Service Pack 2 (SP2) installed and it is
recommended that you install Internet Explorer 7.0. It is also
recommended that all critical updates to the Windows operating
system be installed.
The SocketTools Visual Edition components are compatible with
any development tool that fully supports COM (Component Object
Model) and the ActiveX control specification. This includes Visual
Studio 6.0, Visual Studio .NET 2003, Visual Studio 2005 and Visual
Studio 2008. If you are using Visual Basic 6.0 or Visual C++ 6.0,
it is required that you have Service Pack 6 (SP6) installed. If you
are using Visual Studio .NET 2003 or Visual Studio 2005, it is
recommended that you install Service Pack 1 (SP1). In all cases, it
is recommended that you have the current updates for your
development tools installed.
Distribution
When you distribute an application that uses this control, you
should install the appropriate file in the Windows system
directory. ActiveX controls must be registered on the target system
by the installation program before they can be used by an
application.
