The Telnet listener can be configured much like any other listener in iWay Service Manager. Once the listener is configured, it is then assembled and built into a channel. No other components are necessary for this channel. The channel must be active for the Telnet Management Connection to be used.
To prevent conflicts and accidental connections, iWay strongly suggests specifying a unique port number (instead of the standard default port number 23) during the configuration process.
To configure the Telnet listener:
On Windows, you can start iWay Service Manager by clicking Start, selecting Programs, iWay 8.0 Service Manager, and then Start Service Manager for the configuration you are currently using.
For more information on starting and stopping iWay Service Manager, see Operations and Monitoring.

where:
Is the host machine on which iWay Service Manager is installed.
Is the port on which iWay Service Manager is listening. The default port is 9999.
On Windows, alternatively, you can click Start, select Programs, iWay 8.0 Service Manager, and then click Console.
A login dialog box opens.
The iWay Service Manager Administration Console opens.
The Listeners pane opens.
The table that is provided lists all the previously configured listeners and a brief description for each.
The Select listener type pane opens.
The Configuration parameters for the Telnetd listener pane opens.
Note: The parameters prefixed with a (*) in the listener configuration pane are required.
For more information, see Telnet Listener Configuration Parameters.
You are returned to the Select listener type pane.
You can now use this listener as part of your channel configuration where the business logic will be applied to the received messages.
The following table lists and describes parameters for the Telnet listener.
