Configuring Links for VT over Telnet
The VT over Telnet attachment is an application that uses TCP/IP (Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol) and that enables remote logon to an ASCII host. TCP/IP provides connectivity functions for both local area networks (LAN) and wide area networks (WAN) and includes the ability to route information between LANs and WANs. The major TCP/IP networks—the Internet—use a standardized addressing procedure to ensure that IP addresses are unique and that communication between enterprises is possible.
The VT over Telnet attachment for Personal Communications requires a TCP/IP stack that supports the Windows Sockets Version 1.1 interface. WSOCK32.DLL must be in the Windows system directory or the current path to provide the interface for the stack program and to support the Windows Sockets V1.1 interface.
- Host Name or IP Address (mandatory)
- Port Number (optional)
- Terminal ID (optional)
- Auto-reconnect (optional)
- Host Name or IP Address
- Specify either the alphabetic name of the target host or its
numeric IP address.
- Host Name
- The name of the target host is a string —for example: host.test.ibm.com
- Host IP Address
- The IP address of the target host is in dotted-decimal notation—for example: 0.0.0.0
- Port Number
- Specify the decimal number of the target host's Telnet port. The default, 23, is the standard Telnet port.
- Terminal ID
- The VT emulator and the Telnet server use the terminal ID for
negotiating an appropriate connection. Ask your Telnet administrator
for your host's correct terminal ID. When the default box is selected,
the default values are selected from the Machine Mode, as shown in
the following table:
Machine Mode Default Terminal ID VT340 DEC-VT220 VT100 DEC-VT100 VT52 DEC-VT52 ANSI ansi - Auto-reconnect
- If the session is disconnected from the host, and if this box
is selected, you will be re-connected automatically.
The default is not selected.
