Overview
Internet Services
Internet Services
The Internet Services are a set of services that enable the HP 3000
computer to exchange information with remote computer systems on
the network. The services on the HP 3000 include Telnet, FTP, inetd,
tftp, and BOOTP.
On MPE/iX versions prior to 5.5, Telnet/iX was identified as part of the
ARPA Services on the HP 3000. ARPA (Advanced Research
Projects Agency) services are a subset of the MPE/iX Internet
Services.
For information on the MPE/iX Internet Services refer to Configuring
and Managing MPE/iX Internet Services Manual.
Telnet
The Telnet protocol provides a standard virtual terminal connection
between the HP 3000 and other HP and non-HP systems. MPE/iX
Telnet connections can be made using one of two solutions: 1) via a
direct HP 3000 implementation called “Telnet/iX” which enables users
to have direct access to or from an HP 3000 using the Telnet protocol.
This product provides both inbound and outbound Telnet connections
using only HP 3000 resident code; 2) via a Datacommunications and
Terminal Controller (DTC) with a Telnet Access Card (herein
referred to as “DTC Telnet Access”) which provides only inbound
Telnet access to an HP 3000 through a DTC.
A brief description follows for each Telnet implementation. The
remainder of this manual mainly addresses the Telnet/iX product
solution. For more information on the “DTC Telnet Access”
implementation, see Using HP OpenView DTC Manager and the DTC
Planning Guide (note that this solution may be referred to as “Telnet
Access” in these manuals).
