Configuring the Telnet server

The topic contains information about how to configure your Telnet server for various emulation types.

One of the most important Telnet functions is its ability to negotiate options between the client and the server. This type of open negotiation makes it possible for either the client or the server to initiate or to honor a request. Several different emulation types are available to you for negotiating requests and converting them to output. The system can support 3270-type workstations and VTxxx workstations, but the preferred type is 5250 emulation.

To configure your Telnet server for use with one of the other emulation types supported, complete the following children linking tasks that contain task steps.

After you have configured Telnet, you might want to secure Telnet with Secure Sockets Layer (SSL).
