  1. Type telnet at the HP-UX prompt:

    telnet

    This starts telnet in its command state. In command state, telnet displays the telnet> prompt. From command state, you can execute telnet commands. Type ? at the telnet> prompt for a list of telnet commands.

  2. At the telnet> prompt, type open hostname or open IP_address, as in the following example, to connect to a remote host:

    telnet> open hpabsa

  3. Type your user name and password when the remote host prompts you for it. If you are using the Secure Internet Services version of telnet you will not be prompted for a login or password. You must have a valid login to the remote host in order to connect to it with telnet.

    After you log into the remote host, telnet is in input state. When telnet is in input state, you can use the remote host as if your terminal or workstation were physically connected to that host.

    If certain keystrokes do not do what you expect them to do, or if your display does not look right, see “Checking Your Remote Terminal Configuration”.

  4. When you have finished working on the remote host, type the telnet escape character to return to command state. The escape character is CTRL-] if you have not changed it with the telnet escape command.

  5. At the telnet> prompt, type close hostname, as in the following example, to disconnect from the remote host:

    telnet> close hpabsa

  6. Type quit to exit from telnet:

    telnet> quit
