  • [SOLVED] Testing PCMiler via telnet

    I had an issue with a PCMiler server today and had to learn how to test connectivity and the functionality of the PCMiler server via telnet. This was actually quite easy to do and I wanted to share it with everyone.

    This indicates that PCMiler is not accessible:
    Code:
    telnet pcmiler.company.com 8145
    Trying 192.168.192.192...
    telnet: connect to address 192.168.192.192: Connection refused
    telnet: Unable to connect to remote host: Connection refused
    This indicates that PCMiler is accessible, but not functional:
    Code:
    telnet pcmiler.company.com 8145
    Trying 192.168.192.192...
    Connected to pcmiler.company.com (192.168.192.192).
    Escape character is '^]'.
    ALK PCMILER SERVER READY
    pcmsCalcDistance(06811, 10580)
    -1
    READY
    ^]
    telnet> quit
    Connection closed.
    This indicates that PCMiler is accessible and functional
    Code:
    telnet pcmiler.company.com 8145
     Trying 192.168.192.192...
     Connected to pcmiler.company.com (192.168.192.192).
     Escape character is '^]'.
     ALK PCMILER SERVER READY
     pcmsCalcDistance(19380, 90201)
     2697
     READY
     ^]
     telnet> quit
     Connection closed.
    Hope this helps!
