LMS-TV Telnet-Client

[STEFFEN NEUSER]

We need also quick access from TopologyView for Telnet (beside SSH), but the documented procedure with the RegKey does not work.

Using IE8 and tried with Mozilla as well with same result.

Are ther any hints, thx Steffen

What RegKey procedure?  It sounds like your client may not have telnet.exe installed.  The Topo Map code will invoke telnet.exe as:

cmd /k telnet IP

Make sure that command is working.

MS telnet.exe is installed,

cmd /k telnet IP

works fine

In the LMS Online Help is written that you have to create an RegKey for Telnet.

What version of LMS is this?  In 4.x you do need to make sure the telnet protocol handler is enabled in IE.  However, this would not affect Firefox.  Make sure your C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe allows read & execute access for everyone.  What error do you get trying to launch telnet in each browser?

I added read & execute access for C:\windows\system32\cmd.exe to everyone (in DE "Jeder") at the Computer where I start the LMS-browser.

Than I launched toplogy in Mozilla, after accessing Telnet in context menu a IE-Explorer Windows opens trying to access telnet:///

that shows "Die Webseite kann nicht angezeigt werden", means website is in accessable

The mentioned Regkey in LMS online help was:

[HKEY_LOCAL_ MACHINE\SOFTWARE \Microsoft\ Internet
Explorer\Main\ FeatureControl\ FEATURE_DISABLE_ TELNET_PROTOCOL]
"iexplore.exe" =dword:00000000

I gues it was the produre for the IE Telnet protocol handler???

It sounds like you may have IE set to be your telnet protocol handler.  IT also looks like you may have some weird spaces in your registry stuff.  See this forum post to confirm your setup is good:
