Facility Control

So I'm still a little new at this, but I'm trying to make a button that will take crosspoints on a Platinum router.

I can telnet into the router and make routes, but it involves initiating a telnet session, logging in with a username and password, then sending a command in the interface. How would I script this? It would appear as if there needs to be small pauses after entering the username and password for the router to process (half second or so). can I do this with multiple TCP send commands, or would the port close between commands?

I guess maybe the question here is: Is it possible to script a telnet session with DashBoard? I know there are certain negotiation strings that need to be sent, It's not just as simple as sending TCP strings to port 23.

You might have an easier time dealing with the Harris XY or LRC ethernet protocol than trying to simulate a telnet session. I think I have the documents on that somewhere, or you could try and contact Imagine to get the docs on those.
