Telnet & Remote Device Access

Telnet & Remote Device Access

Enable Telnet Command Line Interface (Remote Device Access) - Factory default: On - To access the command interface remotely from any computer or Wi-Fi device on the network, enable the telnet interface. Once checked you can connect to NEO through port number 3100 or user-specified port.

If you do not see the characters you type in your telnet client, enable the “Echo Telnet Characters” option. Use the “Telnet & UDP Port Number” edit box to set the IP port number that the software will bind to.

NEO Notes & Tips: The Telnet interface must be enabled to use any of the remote applications (e.g. NEORemote for iPad) with NEO.

“Enable Discovery by Remote Systems” will cause NEO to broadcast a message onto the network at regular intervals so that the system can be discovered automatically without needing to know the IP address. The default for this option is On.

NEO can also receive commands via a direct UDP message. Unlike the Telnet interface the UDP system is connectionless, and no acknowledgement of the message is sent back to the sender. Turn on “Enable Receiving UDP Based Commands” to allow NEO to listen for commands via UDP messages.

By default, NEO will use TCP to transfer large amounts of data such as show files and remote apps between systems. This service may be disabled by setting the “Enable TCP bulk transfers” switch to Off.

Remote Commands are Separate User – Factory default: On - When this option is on it means that any commands that are sent will run as if they are an external user. Selecting channels for example will not show as selected on screen. Any changes to levels or attributes will show as green indicating they have come from a remote. Releasing channels on the system will not release channels that are controlled by the remote. They must either be released by the remote or using the “Release All Control” option. If this is tuned off, then all commands will operate as if they are typed locally on the system.

Send Cue Execution Messages to Telnet Clients - With this option set (default), connected telnet clients will receive a message each time a cue is executed.

Broadcast Channel Data – Default: Off. When enabled, NEO will broadcast the state of channels which can be received by a remote application.

Allow Remote Patch Changes – Default: Off. When enabled, remote systems can make patch changes.

Enable SNMP Event Messages - NEO can send “Simple Network Management Protocol” messages to another system that’s monitoring network activity. If you select this option, you need to supply the IP address of the SNMP host.

Enable Remote Viewing (RDP) & Shared Monitor - NEO console only options – Allow another system to view the monitors of this console. You can specify a particular monitor or set “Shared Monitor” to 0 to view all.

Enable HTTP (Web) Server - NEO can be controlled from a web browser. Enable this option to allow a browser to connect. The standard HTTP port number can be changed if needed.

Run Shortcut when Client Connects – Specify the number of a shortcut to run when a remote client connects to NEO. This could be used to set up special conditions useful to the remote application, for example. Entering a 0 means no shortcut will be run when a remote application connects.
