Using the Telnet/iX Client
Connecting and Logging On to a Remote Host
Logging On
When opening a remote host connection, you can use any of the
following:
telnet> OPEN [IP address] [port]
or OPEN [ARPA domain name] [port]
or OPEN [NS node name] [port]
or
:telnet [IP address] | [ARPA domain name] | [NS node name] [port]
Once the connection has been established, enter the remote user login
name and password when prompted. You must know the user logon
syntax for the remote host you are accessing. For example, an HP 9000
login name could be: myname. You would enter the following when
prompted:
login: myname
password: (enter password)
/users/student:
Passwords are not echoed back to your terminal screen.
Closing a Connection/Accessing Another Remote
Host
After establishing a connection to a remote host from Telnet/iX
command mode, you can access another remote host by first typing the
escape character (default
[CTRL]-]), entering the CLOSE command, and
then entering another OPEN command (the CLOSE command is
necessary, because only one connection can be open at any give time):
telnet> CLOSE
telnet> OPEN [remotehostname] [port]
If you issue the CLOSE command without an existing open connection,
you will see the message “? Need to be connected first.”
NOTE If you established a connection to a remote host via the run-time option,
issuing the CLOSE command will exit you from the Telnet program.
