With the release of version C.55.00 of MPE/iX, Telnet server functionality is available to HP 3000 customers. The Telnet server allows users on a remote system that supports the TCP/IP and Telnet protocols to log on and run applications on the HP 3000. The Telnet client, which was first made available on version C.50.00 of MPE/iX, gives users on an HP 3000 direct access to other systems that support Telnet and TCP/IP.

This chapter describes:

  • How to verify the installation of the Telnet files

  • How to edit the inetd configuration file and the services file to configure the Telnet server.

  • How to start the Telnet server once the product has been configured.

  • How to troubleshoot problems that arise with Telnet

  • Implementation differences between Telnet for MPE/iX and Telnet for HP-UX.

Before release C.55.00, the capability to receive incoming Telnet connections on the HP 3000 was only available with DTC Telnet access. The HP 3000 processed such connections via a DTC configured with a Telnet Access Card (TAC) using PC-based management software. HP 3000 customers can continue to use DTC Telnet access, particularly if the level of Telnet traffic places a heavy load on the processing capacity of the host HP 3000's CPU.

NOTE: Online information about the Telnet client and server is available in the ASCII file TELNTDOC.ARPA.SYS.
