How to Install Telnet Server
Enabling Telnet services allows clients to interface with the server through a command prompt. Port 23 is the port used for Telnet, but it is not installed by default when you set up a new Windows server. When configuring a new Windows server, you may want to allow clients to connect using port 23. However, Telnet services can be installed and enabled through the Windows services console.
