Telnet to the SLB

Out of curiosity, is it possible to telnet to the SLB? It’s available as a protocol but my attempt to connect failed.

And if it is possible, can you send the same CNC commands that you would send via the gSender console?

I could not find anything in the SLB documentation.

Yup, it should be possible. Here’s connection using both telnet and NC. You can interact with the firmware the same way, by sending normal g-code or system commands.


I’m just using the configured port ($305, default) and IP address ($302, default)

If you haven’t setup ethernet according to the docs, I’d start there:

@KGN Thanks. It wasn’t working with PuTTY. But your response confirmed that it should work. So after more fiddling, a light bulb came on. I have gSender open and the controller may not accept more than one connection. Closed it and success connecting!
