Logical Name Description

TCPIP$TELNET_VTA Enables TELNET virtual terminals.

14.1.3 Setting Up User Accounts

Hosts typically run a TELNET server with TELNET client software. Users on

client hosts need valid accounts on server hosts before using TELNET to establish

a remote session.

If your local host is to be a TELNET server, create OpenVMS accounts for remote

users. You can create several individual accounts or one account that many

remote users will share.

14.1.4 Creating and Deleting Sessions

You can create and delete TELNET sessions from within a command procedure or

interactively. Enter the DCL command TELNET with the /CREATE_SESSION

or /DELETE_SESSION qualiﬁer. These qualiﬁers have the same function as the

following commands:

TELNET> CREATE_SESSION host port dev-unit

TELNET> DELETE_SESSION dev-unit

For example:

$ TELNET /CREATE_SESSION TS405 2002 902

You can create a TELNET device that times out after a speciﬁed idle period then

reconnects when data is written to it. Use the /TIMEOUT qualiﬁer to specify the

idle time and the reconnection interval, as described in the following table:
