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 [A5500000] (C) Hewlett-Packard Co. 1994
telnet>
If your CI variable, HPPATH, does not include ARPA.SYS, 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 (if the address of the Domain
Names Services (DNS) Server is configured in the RESLVCF.NET.SYS file or
the domain name is configured in the local HOSTS.NET.SYS file), the NS
node name (if the remote and local hosts support Probe protocol or if the
remote host name is configured in the local network directory), or the
Internet Protocol (IP) address. 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".
