ARPA Services The Advanced Research Projects Agency (ARPA) services are a subset of the networking services originally developed by the University of California at Berkeley. The ARPA services have become a de facto standard for multivendor network communication. The Telecommunications Network Protocol (TELNET) and File Transfer Protocol (FTP) are provided as part of the MPE/iX ARPA services which enable users to communicate with HP and non-HP systems. Refer to HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol User's Guide (36957-61002) and Installing and Managing HP ARPA File Transfer Protocol Network Manager's Guide (36957-61001) for more information on FTP. TELNET The TELNET protocol provides the ARPA standard virtual terminal connection between the HP 9000 and other HP and non-HP systems. MPE/iX TELNET connections can be made using one of two solutions: 1) via a direct HP 3000 implementation called "TELNET/iX Client" outbound TELNET which enables users on an HP 3000 to have direct access to an HP 9000 and non-HP systems, and 2) via a Datacommunications and Terminal Controller (DTC) with a TELNET Access Card (herein referred to as "DTC TELNET Access") which provides inbound TELNET access to an HP 3000 through a DTC. A brief description follows for each TELNET implementation. The remainder of this manual addresses the TELNET/iX Client solution only. For more information on the "DTC TELNET Access" implementation, see Using HP OpenView DTC Manager (D2355-90001) and the DTC Planning Guide (D2355-95017) (note that this solution may be referred to as "TELNET Access" in these manuals).
