How to ping through a specific port

This video shows how to ping an IP or hostname using a specific port. This is great for troubleshooting problems with email scanning - if you can do this on the client computer to the SMTP server, this means your xerox machine can connect to the SMTP server.

So what can you do when the telnet session is sucessful? Can you run commands from the screen that shows you have connected succesfully?

I'm sorry, this isn't the same as ping. Ping will retry the connection every second creating a heartbeat. Telnet creates a connection to the server - which can timeout. So to simulate ping, you'd need to telnet to an address + port, disconnect, sleep 1, then loop.

Don't enable telnet without knowing what you are doing. It is not secure.
