BNU commands for emulation
The Basic Networking Utilities (BNU) software includes the ct, cu, and tip commands, which allow you to connect to a remote system that uses the AIX® operating system.
| Item | Description |
|---|---|
| ct | Enables a user on a remote terminal, such as a 3161,
to communicate with another terminal over a telephone line. The user
on the remote terminal can then log in and work on the other terminal.
The ct command is similar to the cu command but not as flexible. For example, you cannot issue commands on the local system while connected to a remote system through the ct command. However, you can instruct the ct command to continue dialing until the connection is established or to specify more than one telephone number at a time. |
| cu | Connects your terminal to another terminal connected
to either a UNIX or non-UNIX system. After the connection is established, you can be logged in on both systems at the same time, executing commands on either one without dropping the BNU communication link. If the remote terminal is also running under UNIX, you can transfer ASCII files between the two systems. You can also use the cu command to connect multiple systems, and commands can then be executed on any of the connected systems. |
| tip | Connects your terminal to a remote terminal and enables you
to work on the remote terminal as if logged in directly. You can use the tip command to transfer files to and from the remote system. You can use scripting to record the conversations you have with the tip command. Note: You must have a login on the remote system to use the tip command. |
