Remote Console Access via Telnet

Telnet is a protocol that allows you to send commands to the server console from outside the game environment. This is essential for using advanced management tools like CSMM or RAT.

​
Configuration Steps

All Telnet settings are located within your serverconfig.xml file.
  1. Enable Service: Set TelnetEnabled to true.
  2. Setting the Port: Set TelnetPort (Default is typically the Game Port + 1, e.g., 8081).
  3. Security: Set a strong TelnetPassword.

​
Security Alert

Never leave the Telnet password empty. Leaving it blank allows anyone to scan your IP and gain full administrative control over your 7D2D server.

​
Connecting to Your Console

  • Windows Client: Enable the “Telnet Client” in Windows Features, then run telnet [IP] [PORT] in the command prompt.
  • PuTTY: Select the “Telnet” connection type, enter your server IP and Telnet port, and click Open.

​
External Map Access

If you use Alloc’s Server Fixes, the internal web map often relies on the Telnet system to relay player positions and world data in real-time.
