Overview
Telnet/iX Client & Server
Figure 1-1 Telnet/iX Client
The Telnet/iX Client supports eight-bit characters when
communicating with the remote host. To use eight-bit characters, you
may need to reconfigure your terminal or the remote host. Additionally,
you may need to enable the binary option to allow an eight-bit data
stream between the Telnet/iX Client and the remote host. Note that
some remote hosts may not support eight-bit characters.
The Telnet/iX Client program may be issued from a regular MPE/iX
session or from within a program. It may not, however, be issued from a
batch job or with the use of input/output redirection. Additionally, it is
not supported when access to the MPE/iX session is from an MPE/V
system or a PC using Virtual Terminal (VT).
If you are using the Telnet/iX Client for the first time, review the
Telnet/iX Client commands in Chapter 2, “Telnet/iX Client Commands.”
Chapter 3, “Using the Telnet/iX Client,” provides a task-oriented
approach to using the Telnet/iX Client and includes a discussion of
tasks such as viewing Telnet/iX status, setting or toggling Telnet/iX
variables to specific values, and suspending Telnet/iX.
Server
The Telnet/iX Server can perform the following tasks:
• Accept connection from local client.
• Access to the MPE/iX Command Interpreter and many HP 3000
applications.
