From the Telnet/iX Client, you must establish a connection
to the remote host you wish to access.
From the telnet> prompt,
enter the OPEN command followed by the remotehostname
which is the ARPA domain name or NS node name if the Internet Protocol
(IP) address, (see "Node Names" below), and port
(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:
telnet> OPEN [remotehostname] [port] |
 |
| |
|
 | NOTE: Only one connection can be open at any given time. In
order to open a second connection, the first must be closed. |
|
| |
|
IP addresses are assigned by your network administrator to
uniquely identify computer systems to allow communication between
systems on the network.
IP addresses, also called internet addresses, are in the form:
Where nnn is a number from 000
to 255, inclusive. For example, if the IP address of the remote
system is 192.1.20.125 , you would
enter:
telnet> OPEN 192.1.20.125 |
Node Names |
|
Besides using IP addresses with the Telnet/iX Client OPEN
command, you can use either an ARPA domain name or an NS node name
in the OPEN command. NS names are recognized
if the remote and local hosts support the Probe protocol or if the
remote host name is configured in your local node network directory.
ARPA domain names are configured in the ASCII file HOSTS.NET.SYS;
or an address which points to a system running Domain Names Services
(DNS) is configured in the ASCII file RESLVCNF.NET.SYS.
For ARPA domain name configuration information, refer to the HP
3000/iX Network Planning and Configuration Guide. Obtain
the node names from your network administrator. For example, if
the name, node2, is configured
as a remote host name on your network, you can enter:
Logging On |
|
When opening a remote host connection, you can use any of
the following:
telnet> OPEN [IP address] [port]
or OPEN [ARPA domain name] [port]
or OPEN [NS node name] [port] |
or
:telnet [IP address] | [ARPA domain name] | [NS node name] [port] |
Once the connection has been established, enter the remote
user login name and password when prompted. You must know the user
logon syntax for the remote host you are accessing. For example,
an HP 9000 login name could be: myname.
You would enter the following when prompted:
login: myname
password: (enter password) /users/student: |
Passwords are not echoed back to your terminal screen.
