Telnet/iX Client & Server 

Telnet/iX providesthe Telnet service over Transmission Control
Protocol/Internet Protocol (TCP/IP) on MPE/iX. The Telnet/iX Client 
enables users on an HP 3000 to have direct access to HP 9000, HP 3000,
and non-HP systems that support Telnet and TCP/IP. The Telnet/iX 
Serverenables users on a remote system running standard Telnet services
to logon and run most applications on the HP 3000.  Many MPE/iX file
system intrinsics are supported over Telnet/iX Server connections.
Please see the Asynchronous Serial Communications Programmer's Reference 
Manual (32022-61001) for more details.

Telnet/iX can be used with systems supporting the Telnet protocol such as
the HP 3000, HP 9000, and many non-HP systems.  It is supported over the
same links as TCP/IP on the HP 3000 including IEEE 802.3, Ethernet local
area networks (LANs), X.25 wide area networks, Fiber Distributed Data
Interface (FDDI), and Token Ring.

Client 

The Telnet/iX Client can perform the following tasks:

   *   Connect to a remote host system from a HP 3000

   *   Access applications on the remote host system

   *   Send/Receive ASCII or binary data

The user enters Telnet/iX Client commands from the MPE/iX system.  The
remote host responds with messages and data requested by the Telnet/iX
Client as shown in Figure 1-1 .

The Telnet/iX Client supports eight-bit characters when communicating
with the remote host.  To use eight-bit characters, you may need to
reconfigure your terminal or the remote host.  Additionally, you may need
to enable the binary option to allow an eight-bit data stream between the
Telnet/iX Client and the remote host.  Note that some remote hosts may
not support eight-bit characters.

The Telnet/iX Client program may be issued from a regular MPE/iX session
or from within a program.  It may not, however, be issued from a batch
job or with the use of input/output redirection.  Additionally, it is not
supported when access to the MPE/iX session is from an MPE/V system or a
PC using Virtual Terminal (VT).

If you are using the Telnet/iX Client for the first time, review the
Telnet/iX Client commands in Chapter 2.  Chapter 3 provides a
task-oriented approach to using the Telnet/iX Client and includes a
discussion of tasks such as viewing Telnet/iX status, setting or toggling
Telnet/iX variables to specific values, and suspending Telnet/iX.

Server 

The Telnet/iX Server can perform the following tasks:

   *   Accept connection from local client.

   *   Access to the MPE/iX Command Interpreter and many HP 3000
       applications.

After logging on to the remote HP 3000, the user can enter MPE/iX CI
commands or access MPE applications on the remote HP 3000.  The remote HP
3000 responds with messages and data to the local client.  The local
client may be a PC, HP 3000, HP 9000, or any system supporting the Telnet
Protocol as shown in Figure 1-2 .
