Instructions:
---------------
Open a command prompt console and execute the following command. Refer to the attached file (Filename: image1).
 
telnet [Server FQDN or IP] [PORT]
Where:
 - [Server FQDN or IP] is the fully qualified domain name of the server or the IP address of the server to which you are trying to connect to.
 - [port] is the port number where the server/application is listening.
 
If the connection is successful it means if the port is open, a blank screen is shown (refer to attached (Filename: image2.jpg)). 
 
Example:
telnet mytssserver.mydomain.com 80
 
 
Note:  You may need to enable Telnet first if the Telnet command is not recognized as a command:
 
Go to Start -> Control Panel -> Programs and Features .
On the left side menu, click on "Turn Windows features on or off".
Check both Telnet Client and Telnet Server options.
Click OK.
