I have an old version Putty here and you just enter the IP, set port to 23, tick telnet and press open. Then you have to put in root/password.
I find with enigma boxes it is easier to use DCC. You can do telnet and FTP commands in a single session.
Lots of guides, including Putty, here....

How would you restart receiver with putty though?
Is putty only way to safely restart receiver where it hangs/crashes?
Restart Enigma2/GUI
Reboot receiverCode:init 4 && sleep 10 && init 3
Code:init 4 && sleep 10 && init 6

The latest version of OpenViX has a terminal/command-line capability built in to OpenWebIF (although I think it doesn't install fully/properly, that can also be sorted out via OpenWebIF).
So you'd just need a Web browser.
MiracleBox Prem Twin HD - 2@DVB-T2 + Xtrend et8000 - 5(incl. 2 different USBs)@DVB-T2[terrestrial - UK Freeview HD, Sandy Heath] - LAN/USB-stick/HDD
So would it be best to use the commands in telnet or openwebif? Really confused
What command would I use then where box hangs/crashes as I dont want to turn box off at the back anymore?
Also what are the main important commands?
Finish one topic before starting another.
Are you able to issue "telnet" commands to your receiver?
Are you now able to restart/reboot the receiver using "telnet" commands?

If you've managed to login, and have done so because the enigma2 GUI is hanging, then:
rebootis the simplest.
If you want to, you could try
init 4(wait a few seconds between the two). This will be quicker (as the system doesn't need to reboot, just the GUI restarted).
init 3

I am having serious issues with my PC so can't check anything as of yet.
When it's sorted will update here.
Thank you for the input.
It's impossible to say, if the box is running really slow, it's possible telnet will eventually connect, it all depends what's going wrong.
If enigma has crashed, then telnet should still work, allowing you a clean reboot.
If Linux has crashed, then the box is probably totally dormant, like it is before going into deep standby.
Switching off the power when there is disc activity could cause disc corruption - that's why using the on/off switch should be avoided if possible.
Even a box without any discs could still need a reflash to repair potential corruption.
