Host Communications; Initiating A Telnet Session - HP Compaq t5725 User Manual

Getting Started

Host Communications

TeemTalk can communicate with the operating system shell (STDIN and STDOUT)
or a host through an RS232 port. TeemTalk also includes a telnet driver for remote
host connection so that precise control can be exercised over the information that
TeemTalk receives and transmits. You must use the telnet facility provided by
TeemTalk when using block mode emulations such as IBM 3270.

Initiating A Telnet Session

TeemTalk has its own inbuilt telnet driver so that precise control can be exercised over
the information that TeemTalk receives and transmits. You must use the telnet facility
provided by TeemTalk when using block mode emulations such as IBM 3270.
A telnet session can be initiated from a dialog box while TeemTalk is running or by
using resources or command line options. Note that TeemTalk must be configured so
that it is running the required terminal emulation before initiating a telnet session.
You can initiate a telnet session while TeemTalk is running by displaying the File
menu and selecting the Open Connection option.
The Type list box is used to specify the type of host connection that is to be made:
TCP/IP, SSH2 (optional) or SSL/TLS (optional). The optional SSH (Secure Shell)
client/server protocol is used to encrypt and transmit data securely over a network,
with authentication (proof of client identity) provided by a password and/or key. The
optional SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) protocol enables authenticated and encrypted
communication between clients and servers.
Clicking the Configure or Telnet Options buttons will display additional options
which are described in the sections Telnet Options, SSL Connection Settings and SSH
Connection Settings in the Setup Menus chapter.
A list of hosts currently available for connection will be displayed in the Connect To
box on UNIX based systems. To make a connection, either click on the name in the list
or type it in, then click Connect.
