Telnet/iX Client & Server |
|
Telnet/iX provides the 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 Server enables users on a remote system running standard Telnet services to log on 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 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. The Telnet/iX Client can perform the following tasks:
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 “Telnet/iX Client”. 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 “Telnet/iX Client Commands” Chapter 3 “Using the Telnet/iX Client” 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. The Telnet/iX Server can perform the following tasks:
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 “Telnet/iX Server”. |
