The In-Sight 1700 reader supports many Native Mode commands that allow the reader to
be controlled from users’ custom application programs over Ethernet or serial port.
NOTE When logging on to an In-Sight system through Telnet from a Unix-based platform, the In-Sight
system’s host name (or IP Address) and port number (usually 23) must be added to the command
line. For example: >telnet is170060b 23. Supplying the port number disables the Unix
username/password authentication and forces the Unix system to prompt you for User Name and
password.
Below is a partial listing of the Native Mode commands typically used to control the 1700
remotely.
