using telnet with a Rabbit

Started by Kevin Franzen January 21, 2009
I want to telnet from my PC at address 10.0.101.1 to a Rabbit RCM3700 at
address 192.168.1.50.

I have tried hooking both devices to a hub but I still cannot get telnet
to connect. Is it possible to do this?

When both devices are on the same subnet telnet will connect.

You can not do a connection to the rabbit unless it is on the same
subnet as your PC or there is a route specified.

Windows will try to find a router and route through it as it sees
192.168.* is not on the local 10.1.101 subnet.

You could always add a second IP to your PC if you need to talk to the
rabbit that is configured for a different subnet.

Thanks, we will take care of this using a router.

Outside of any routing/networking issues whare are you expecting to see once
the socket is open?
Do you have an application listening for an incoming telnet connection, and
have instructions as to
what to do with it onces it's connected?

Our telnet application is working fine when on the same subnet. It was
crossing subnets that was the issue.

After reading Scott's reply I did some research on installing a second
NIC, routers, NAT (or should I say NAPT?), WLAN, etc.. I have a much
better understanding of our options. I'll get back to resolving this in
the next week or two.

I had done same thing and it was working for me ....
I had device at client place .. and i was accessing the device from
my office over internet ...
if u can set static IP, subnet and gateway and done the NATing
correctly ... u can access the device (RABBIT) irrespective
network..either in Local LAN or internet
