Establish a session with a Telnet destination
The TELNET CONNECT command establishes a session with a Telnet destination.
Use the SHOW DESTINATIONS or SHOW DOMAIN commands to obtain a list of
Telnet destination names and Internet addresses on your network.
N o t e s
TELNET CONNECTIONS: The terminal server may take a few seconds to establish a
Telnet connection to a domain name after it has been initialized. During this time, the
server is attempting to locate the Domain Name Server, look up the Internet address for
the domain name, and then make the connection. Subsequent attempts to connect to
that Telnet host occur without delay, because the terminal server has a record of the
Telnet address for that domain name.
If you enter the TELNET CONNECT command without a domain name or an Internet
address, the terminal server searches for a predefined preferred Telnet service. The
SHOW PORT CHARACTERISTICS display lists the Preferred Services, if any, at
your port.
TN3270 CONNECTIONS: You can use an Internet address or a domain name to reach
an IBM host and establish a TN3270 session. Once you make the connection, the
terminal emulates an IBM 3270 display station. See Chapter 4 for more information
about TN3270 terminal emulation.
