The iPhone does include a Caps Lock feature
- Tap Settings
- Tap General
- Tap Keyboard
- Tap the Enable Caps Lock slider
Using the Caps Lock:
Quickly tap the Shift key twice. Instead of the usual glowing
arrow to indicate the next letter will be upper case, the whole Shift key turns blue to show Caps Lock Mode.
Tapping the Shift key again turns Caps Lock back off.
Either
- wrong IP address for the Telnet Server
- The Telnet server is not running
- A firewall stopping access on port 23.
- The iPhone/iPod is not on the same network as the Telnet Server
To allow a connection with the iPhone on the EDGE network or another wifi
network, maybe at your local Cafe, you must configure the
router/firewall protecting your office network to allow traffic
on port 23. This could be a security risk! Read the router manual for
advice.
An example:
I have a router at my office, which connect to the Internet. It has IP address
88.1.2.44 on the Internet. The router has a fixed IP address on the Internet, if your
internet provider (ISP) gives a dynamic address,
a solution could be to use a service as NO-IP
Our Office Linux PC has a fixed IP address on the local network (wifi) at
192.168.2.2
In the router firewall configuration I have configured, if it receives data on port
23, forward it to 192.168.2.2.
When on the EDGE network with the iPhone, I will in Telnet as Server IP address write
- 88.1.2.44 , and as port 23 (Not the IP address for the Linux box!)
To enable the Mac OS X telnet server click in Finder on file
/*System/Library/LaunchDaemon/telnet.plist*, and select enabled.
