If you do any type of regular troubleshooting on ShoreTel platform one command you are constantly executing is ipbxctl. For those new to the ShoreTel platform, you cannot telnet to a remote ShoreGear device without first enabling telnet from your HQ server.
To simplify the process I created the simple script below and copied it to a directory in my Windows path;
telnetOn.cmd
"D:\Program Files\Shoreline Communications\ShoreWare Server\ipbxctl" /telnenton %1
Now instead of navigating to ShoreLine directory, I can just type “telneton 192.168.1.100” from a windows command prompt and I will be able to telnet to the remote ShoreGear device. Simple, but it works well.
