5.1.2 - Using Telnet of Tty for a Terminal Session
Two protocols are available to open a connection for a terminal session: telnet
and tty.
a) The telnet Protocol
The telnet server is a standard module of a Unix/Linux TCP/IP stack. An
AX3000 can therefore immediately open a client telnet session, without
additional software or any alteration of Unix/Linux settings.
Main characteristics of a telnet session:
- dynamic allocation of pseudo-terminals (ptty),
- System access is controlled by a 'login', which is generated by the telnetd
daemon,
- The value of the TERM environment variable is negotiated after the login
stage.
