Connecting and Logging on to a Remote Host
From the TELNET/iX Client, you must establish a connection to the remote
host you wish to access.
From the telnet> prompt, enter the OPEN command followed by the remote
host ARPA domain name or internet protocol (IP) address (or NS node name
if the remote host supports Probe protocol or if the remote host name is
configured in your local node network directory) and port (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:
telnet> OPEN [remotehostname] [port]
NOTE Only one connection can be open at any given time. In order to
open a second connection, the first must be closed.
IP Addresses
IP addresses are assigned by your network administrator to uniquely
identify computer systems to allow communication between systems on the
network.
IP addresses, also called internet addresses, are in the form:
nnn.nnn.nnn.nnn
Where nnn is a number from 000 to 255, inclusive. For example, if the IP
address of the remote system is 192.1.20.125, you would enter:
telnet> OPEN 192.1.20.125
Node Names
Besides using IP addresses with the TELNET/iX Client OPEN command, you
can use either an ARPA domain name or an NS node name in the OPEN
command. NS names are recognized if the remote host supports the Probe
protocol or if the remote host name is configured in your local node
network directory. ARPA domain names are configured in two ASCII files,
RSLVCNF.NET.SYS and HOSTS.NET.SYS. For ARPA domain name configuration
information, refer to the HP 3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration
Guide. Obtain the node names from your network administrator. For
example, if the name, node2, is configured as a remote host name on your
network, you can enter:
telnet> OPEN node2
Logging On
When opening a remote host connection, you will see the following:
telnet> OPEN 192.1.20.125
Trying...
Connected to 192.1.20.125.
Escape character is `^]'.

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.
