A.2 Installing SLES on TC

A.2.1 TC Connection

You can test the connection to a TcLink by starting the TcLink with the debug argument ( tclink debug). Then you can telnet from any system to that tclink (e.g., telnet 10.1.1.1 7078). If there is a live connection, the linux tclink should display some information on the screen as a result of the telnet.

On linux, tclink communicates via the 7078 port. On Java, tclink communicates via port 7076 but doesn’t print anything.
