Developed in 1969, Telnet is a network protocol that allows a user on one computer to log into another computer that is part of the same network. It provides two-way interactive communication for computers across networks. A user on a client machine can use a Telnet client to access a command-line interface of another remote machine that is running a Telnet server program. Telnet is simple and easy to use and transmits data using plaintext. Telnet on its own does not contain any type of encryption.
All associated data within a barcode is described using short character strings. Telnet is also a character-oriented protocol – the type of data transferred between a telnet server and client is simple text and small graphics, which means that Telnet speaks the language of barcode scanners, servers, and other networked computers. Telnet was designed and optimized for character data, making it highly efficient for network and computing resources.
