2 Configuration Quick Start
Starting the Telserv subsystem requires only a single operation. Simply issue a TACL
RUN command to create the Telserv process.
Before issuing the RUN command, make sure that the underlying protocol stack is up
and running. You can also (but need not) use the TACL PARAM command to specify
certain parameters that determine operational aspects of the Telserv process (see
Telserv Parameter Names and Values for the TACL PARAM Command on page 3-1). If
you do not specify these parameters, Telserv operates using their default values.
The RUN command also provides RUN options that determine the operation of the
Telserv process. Using the RUN Command and Specifying Run Options on page 3-10
describes these options. If you do not specify them, Telserv operates using their default
values.
The following diagram shows the syntax of a RUN command sufficient to start the
Telserv process and make it operational. This command starts a single Telserv process
with no backup. The diagram assumes that the Telserv process is being started within
the volume and subvolume in which the Telserv subsystem was installed.
$process-name
specifies the name of the Telserv process you will run.
[ port-number ]
specifies the port number. You can run multiple Telserv processes simultaneously
by specifying unique port numbers for each process.
When the Telserv process is up and running, you can use the Subsystem Control
Facility to configure and manage the Telserv environment.
To configure the Telserv environment, you must be aware of the hierarchy of objects
within the Telserv subsystem.
The PROCESS object refers to the Telserv process. The Telserv PROCESS object has
two subordinate objects:

The SERVICE object is subordinate to the PROCESS object.

The WINDOW object is subordinate to the SERVICE object.
One PROCESS supports as many as 256 services and 256 windows.
The SERVICE object allows users to configure and inquire about aspects of their
TELNET session. By adding a SERVICE object, you can control aspects of the client
sessions that connect through that particular SERVICE. For example, you can:

Only provide access to specified users or user groups
