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 [A0001000] (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1994
telnet>
Although group and account do not have to be specified, you can also
enter the command as:
:TELNET.ARPA.SYS
or
: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 or internet protocol (IP) address
(or remote host NS name if the remote host supports Probe protocol or if
the remote host name is configured in your HOSTS.NET.SYS file). 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".
