Command Descriptions

2-10

When making connections, use either of the following methods:

• Specify the host either by host-name or inet-address, and specify the tcp-port.

• Specify only the host either by host-name or inet-address. The default tcp-port

23 is assumed.

Keywords

CONNECT, OPEN, or TELNET

Speciﬁes that only Telnet will be used to attempt the connection. If Telnet is

missing from the command line, the access server will use the port’s default

protocol. LAT is the factory-set default protocol.

TELNET

You must specify TELNET if Telnet is not the port’s default protocol. If the

TN3270 model is deﬁned (see SET PORT TN3270) then Telnet will allow TN3270

to be negotiated with the host. If the TN3270 model is not deﬁned a conventional

Telnet connection will be established.

inet-address

The Internet address of a host. The address must be speciﬁed in dot-notation (for

example, 195.1.1.60).

host-name

The Internet domain name of a host. The name may be absolute (for example,

tom.pubs.foo.com) or relative (for example, tom).

[PORT] tcp-port

The TCP port number on an Internet host. For example, the Telnet server “well

known port” is 23 decimal. On a Telnet connection request where the TCP port

number is not speciﬁed, port 23 is used as the default.

Example: CONNECT TELNET

Local> CONNECT TELNET BAKER 2001

This command connects your port to Telnet host BAKER at TCP port number

2001.
