   UNIX Style Format

     telnet  [ host ]
 

2  Parameters
 

host

   Required with the /CREATE_SESSION qualifier; optional in all
   other cases. Default: None.

   Remote host to which you want to connect. Specify one of the
   following:

   o  Host name

   o  IP address
 

port

   Required with the /CREATE_SESSION qualifier; ignored in all other
   cases. Default: None.

   Specifies the remote port to which you want to connect the
   pseudodevice.
 

unit

   Required with the /DELETE_SESSION qualifier; optional with the
   /CREATE_SESSION qualifier; ignored in all other cases. Default:
   0.

   With the /CREATE_SESSION qualifier, specifies the unit number
   you want associated with the network terminal. The default of
   0 allows the TELNET software to select the next available unit
   number.

   With the /DELETE_SESSION qualifier, specifies the unit number of
   the network terminal you want to delete.
 

2  Qualifiers
 

/BIND_SESSION

      /BIND_SESSION network_device

   Optional. Default: None.

   Binds a TELNET terminal device to an existing network device. If
   the bind is successful, the DCL symbol $TELNET_DEVICE contains
   the TNA device name.
 

/CREATE_SESSION

   Optional. Default: None.

   Specifies that TELNET should create a pseudodevice (network
   terminal) and connect it to the specified remote port. For
   additional information, see the CREATE_SESSION command.

      /NOTIMEOUT
      /TIMEOUT=option

      Where option is:

         NOIDLE
         IDLE=delta_time_interval

         Specifies the delta time interval to wait with no activity
         before closing the connection. The general delta time
         format is HH:MM:SS:CC.


         NORECONNECT
         RECONNECT=delta_time_interval

         Specifies the delta time interval to wait before retrying
         a connect request. The general delta time format is
         HH:MM:SS:CC.


      /PROTOCOL=option
      Optional. Default: NONE.
      where option is:

      o  NONE

         Data is sent with no interpretation (raw).

      o  NVT

         Network Virtual Terminal (NVT), TELNET's internal
         representation of a standard network terminal. NVT format
         is standard 7-bit ASCII code transmitted in 8-bit octets,
         the canonical form of data representation used by both the
         client and server.

      o  TELNET

         Standard TELNET protocol.

      o  RLOGIN

         Standard RLOGIN protocol.
 

/DELETE_SESSION

   Optional. Default: None.

   Specifies that TELNET should delete the specified pseudodevice
   (network terminal). For additional information, see the DELETE_
   SESSION command.
 

/LOG_FILE

      /LOG_FILE=file

   Optional. Default: No logging.

   An optional log file that contains all session output. Using this
   option does not affect your terminal output. You cannot use this
   option for TN3270 sessions.
 

/NOINTERACTIVE

   Optional. Default: TELNET command mode.

   Disables the capability of using the escape character to leave
   a session and return to the TELNET prompt. This option is useful
   when the TELNET command is referenced in a command procedure in a
   captive account.
 

/PORT

      /PORT=n

   Optional. Default: 23.

   Remote port to which you want your TELNET process to connect.
   Specify only if you are connecting to a host that does not use
   the standard TELNET port.
 

/TERMINAL_TYPE

      /TERMINAL_TYPE=type

   Optional. Default: None.

   The IBM or DIGITAL terminal to emulate. Enter the full
   specification for one of these terminals:

   o  IBM-3278-2

   o  IBM-3278-3

   o  IBM-3278-4

   o  IBM-3278-5

   o  VT100

   o  VT200

   o  VT300

   o  VT400

   o  VT500
 

/UNBIND_SESSION

      /UNBIND_SESSION network_device terminal_device

   Optional.

   Unbinds a network device (BGx:) from a TELNET terminal device
   (TNAx:) that was initially bound by a BIND_SESSION command or
   qualifier.
 

2  Examples

   1.$ TELNET
     TELNET> ENABLE DEBUG
     TELNET> SET TERMINAL /DEVICE=VT300
     Terminal type is set to VT300
     TELNET> CONNECT DEBTS

     This example:

     o  Starts TELNET.

     o  Customizes the environment.

     o  Establishes a connection to host DEBTS and sets up the
        terminal type as VT300.

   2.$ TELNET MYCOM /TERMINAL_TYPE=IBM-3278-2

     Establishes a TELNET connection to remote host MYCOM and runs
     TN3270.

   3.$ TELNET 130.180.5.5

     Establishes a TELNET connection to the host at IP address
     130.180.5.5.

   4.$ TELNET UCOM 31
