6.3.1 Accessing Argos data via Telnet

With this service, users can logon to Argos Processing Centers and access their data via TELNET. TELecommunication NETwork is a network protocol used by all TCP/IP compatible networks. A Telnet session with CLS's servers can be opened by typing the "Telnet" command on most operating systems (Windows, Unix...).

1. • ArgosServer.cls.fr
   • ArgosServer.clsamerica.com (for North American users)

Here is the basic procedure for starting a Telnet session:

The user connects to the Argos processing center: ArgosServer.cls.fr or ArgosServer.clsamerica.com with Telnet.
The user types in his/her user name and password

After the connection with the Argos center has been established via Telnet, the message ARGOS READY followed by a carriage return will automatically appear on the screen. Above this text, the user will see a string of numbers corresponding to the calendar day as well as the UTC time that the connection was made, followed by the calendar day and UTC time of the user's last access.

Example:

The user will be able to access their data as long as the user's platforms have been declared correctly in the Argos system, and are transmitting properly.

The user types in the appropriate commands for consulting their data.
The user ends the session with the  LOGOUT command.
