3 Starting the Telserv Process
Port 23 is the well-known port that is reserved for TELNET communication. When you
start an HP Telserv process, if you don’t specify a port number in the RUN command,
the process uses port 23 by default. To run multiple Telserv processes per TCP/IP
process, you must configure each additional Telserv process to communicate over
another port. Note that the TELNET clients must be configured so that they use the
port number of the particular Telserv process with which you want them to
communicate.
The Telserv process provides a file-system interface to the application layer of TCP/IP
and, IPX/SPX.
Telserv Parameter Names and Values for the
TACL PARAM Command
Before starting a Telserv process, you can use TACL PARAM commands to specify
parameter names and values that control operational aspects of the process.
For example you can choose the underlying transport protocol that the Telserv process
is to use. You can specify either:

Any one of the available TCP/IP processes, or

IPX/SPX processes
The following command specifies the underlying transport protocol:
PARAM ZTNT^TRANSPORT^PROCESS^NAME [\system.]$name
where $name specifies the name of the transport process.
Note. The interface to IPX/SPX is available on G-series systems only.
