DTC Telnet Access

Another Telnet implementation is DTC Telnet Access. DTC Telnet Access provides Telnet connections from HP 9000 and non-HP systems running ARPA standard Telnet services to the HP 3000. The DTC Telnet Access solution includes a Telnet Access Card (TAC) that resides in the DTC 72MX or DTC 48 and provides protocol conversion between Telnet and Avesta Flow Control Protocol (AFCP). Equivalent functionality is provided by the Telnet Express Box (TEB) (HP 2344A).

Figure 1-3 “DTC Telnet Access” shows a terminal user connected to an ARPA node using the Telnet service to access an HP 3000 system. The TAC in the DTC converts the Telnet traffic into AFCP traffic for the HP 3000.

The remainder of this manual will focus on the HP 3000 Telnet/iX product. For more information on DTC Telnet Access, see Using HP OpenView DTC Manager and the DTC Planning Guide.
