After you have established a session to your local system, which supports the Telnet protocol and TCP/IP, run the Telnet client on that system. Use the client to establish a Telnet connection to the HP 3000 running MPE/iX version 5.5 or later.

The same commands are used to connect to any remote host supporting the Telnet protocol.

For information on connecting and logging on to a remote host, refer to Chapter 3 “Using the Telnet/iX Client”

Logging On

Once the connection has been established, you will be prompted with the HP 3000 system prompt. At the system prompt, issue the MPE :HELLO command.

For example, from an HP 9000:

:telnet node3000
Trying...
Connected to node3000.cup.hp.com.
Escape character is "^]".
MPE XL: hello manager.sys
