Telnet Server OS Design Development (Windows Embedded CE 6.0)
1/6/2010
The Telnet Server functionality in Windows Embedded CE provides a sample Telnet server that can be installed on a device to allow remote administration through a standard Telnet client. Using the Telnet sample, the current device can be manipulated as if it is running the command prompt on the device itself.
Note
The Telnet server support in Windows Embedded CE is limited to a maximum of nine (9) connections.
