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.
Client |
 |
The Telnet/iX Client can perform the following tasks:
Connect to a remote host system from
a HP 3000
Access applications on the remote host system
Send/Receive ASCII or binary data
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.
Server |
|
The Telnet/iX Server can perform the following tasks:
Accept connection from local client.
Access to the MPE/iX Command Interpreter and many
HP 3000 applications.
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”.
