Using the Telnet/iX Client

Running the Telnet/iX Client Program

After you have established a session on the MPE/iX system, at the

MPE/iX prompt enter:

:TELNET

A banner similar to the following appears:

Telnet Client [A5500000] (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1994

telnet>

If your CI variable, HPPATH, does not include ARPA.SYS, you can also

enter the command as:

:TELNET.ARPA.SYS

:RUN TELNET.ARPA.SYS

To exit from the Telnet/iX Client at any time, enter QUIT at the

telnet> prompt.

Run-Time Options

You can start the Telnet/iX Client program and connect to a remote host

in one step by using the INFO= string in the form:

:RUN TELNET.ARPA.SYS;INFO=“remotehostname port”

remotehostname is the ARPA domain name (if the address of the

Domain Names Services (DNS) Server is conﬁgured in the

RESLVCF.NET.SYS ﬁle or the domain name is conﬁgured in the local

HOSTS.NET.SYS ﬁle), the NS node name (if the remote and local hosts

support Probe protocol or if the remote host name is conﬁgured in the

local network directory), or the Internet Protocol (IP) address. port is

the port designated for the Telnet/iX connection, (if no port is speciﬁed,

the program attempts to contact a Telnet server at the standard Telnet

port (23)) designated for the Telnet/iX connection supplied by your

network administrator.

Once the connection has been established, enter the remote user login

name and password when prompted as described in a later section

under “Connecting and Logging On to a Remote Host”.
