Using NS3000/iX Network Services (36920-90008)

Chapter 2 33
Virtual Terminal
REMOTE HELLO Command
may be given immediately after the REMOTE or after DSLINE=. If the
environment information is given in both places, the specification
following REMOTE takes precedence. If no environment information
appears in either place, the default environment assumed is the one
most recently referenced by a REMOTE or DSLINE command. If you issue
a REMOTE HELLO command for an environment that you are already
logged on to, the existing remote session will be terminated and a new
one will be created (according to the new user information). This is
similar to what happens when you issue a new HELLO command within
a local session. If you want a second concurrent session on the same
node, you can designate a new environment ID for this node, either in a
DSLINE command or in a REMOTE HELLO command.
NOTE Before you can create a remote session on another node in an
NS 3000/iX network, your system operator must have issued the
following two console commands: NETCONTROL to open the
communications links to the remote node, and NSCONTROL to enable
Virtual Terminal service. These commands must be issued before any
network service can function between the local and remote nodes. See
the NS 3000/iX Operations and Maintenance Reference Manual.
Examples of REMOTE HELLO
The following examples show you the different ways that you can use
the REMOTE HELLO command. The input is typed at the MPE/iX
prompt, and user input is bold for clarity.
1. Method 1 shows that the REMOTE HELLO command (without
environment information) may appear after a DSLINE command
that provides the environment information.
Method 1
:DSLINE SYS2
ENVIRONMENT 1: SYS2.DCL.DETROIT
:REMOTE HELLO NSUSER.NSACCT **default environment**

2. Method 2 shows that the environment information may be included
in the DSLINE= portion of the REMOTE HELLO command.
Method 2
:REMOTE HELLO NSUSER.NSACCT;DSLINE=E2=SYS2
HP3000 / MPE/iX A.01.00 FRI, MAY 1, 1994, 4:14 PM
ENVIRONMENT 2: E2.DCL.DETROIT=SYS2.DCL.DETROIT
3. Method 3 shows that the environment information may appear
immediately after REMOTE on the same command line.
Method 3
:REMOTE:CHEKHOV
CHEKHOV#HELLO ANTON.PLAYS
