Answer for Telnet port accept outside connections

Written by joshjack on 20 May 2015. Posted in

Hi, Yes, you can access the EMS via Telnet using a remote machine. To do this, you need to edit the EMS configuation file, config.lua, and modify the CLI acceptors section. The IP address for protocol "inboundJsonCli" should be set as shown below:

ip="0.0.0.0",  -- the default is "127.0.0.1" for localhost access only
port=1112,
protocol="inboundJsonCli",

The comments can be omitted ("–" and the trailing text on the same line). Restart the EMS after saving the edited configuration file. Cheers, Don
