I have to WAPs (D-link DAP-2553 wireless access points), one on each end of the property that periodically seem to slow. Rebooting them does the trick.

I can reboot them by pointing my browser to them and then logging in on their configuration page or,

I can open a telnet session to their address, login, and then tell them to "reboot". The telnet session looks something like (in a CMD window):

c:\telnet 192.168.0.xx
login:"admin"
password:"password"
WAP->"reboot"

For telenet to work, in Win7, you have to turn "telnet client" in the Windows features to "on".

Here is my question: On my PH box, I presently DON'T have "telnet client" turned on (I can do it if needed). I would like to have a way for PH to connect to my WAP and send it the reboot command. I could then either put it on a timed event, or just run the macro when needed from my GUI.

I read elsewhere on the forum, that a socket plugin could work for this. I have a fair number of the plugins up and working, but I am not sure where to start with this (if it can even be done). Ideas?

ph_run("telnet 192.168.0.51")
wait 0.5
sendkeys "login{enter}password{enter}reboot{enter}"

The above works from my telnet enabled box.

Any downside to having telnet enabled on my PH box that runs 24/7?

Smarty,

Im thinking you could also use the ph_sendsocketdata1 function like so:

Code:
ph_sendsocketdata1("192.168.0.51",23,3,"login\013password\01 3reboot\013")


Dave.
