Chapter 3 The Telnet Service
With the release of version C.55.00 of MPE/iX, Telnet server
functionality is available to HP 3000 customers. The Telnet server
allows users on a remote system that supports the TCP/IP and Telnet
protocols to log on and run applications on the HP 3000. The Telnet
client, which was first made available on version C.50.00 of MPE/iX,
gives users on an HP 3000 direct access to other systems that support
Telnet and TCP/IP.
This chapter describes:
* how to verify the installation of the Telnet files
* how to edit the inetd configuration file and the services file to
configure the Telnet server.
* how to start the Telnet server once the product has been
configured.
* how to troubleshoot problems that arise with Telnet
* the implementation differences between Telnet for MPE/iX and
Telnet for HP-UX.
Before release C.55.00, the capability to receive incoming Telnet
connections on the HP 3000 was only available with DTC Telnet access.
The HP 3000 processed such connections via a DTC configured with a Telnet
Access Card (TAC) using PC-based management software. HP 3000 customers
can continue to use DTC Telnet access, particularly if the level of
Telnet traffic places a heavy load on the processing capacity of the host
HP 3000's CPU.
NOTE Online information about the Telnet client and server is available
in the ASCII file TELNTDOC.ARPA.SYS.
