HP-UX System Administrator's Guide: Configuration Management

Using Telnet to Log in to a PC from an HP-UX System
To use Telnet to log in to a personal computer from your HP-UX system, you will need
to:
1. Make sure that the PC is running, and reachable via your network.
a. Turn on the PC and boot up the Windows NT operating system.
b. Make sure that your PC has networking services configured, and has a network
address (IP Address).
2. Make sure that the PC is running Telnet server software.
a. Install a version of Telnet server software.
NOTE: Microsoft’s Windows operating systems do not initially include
Telnet server software. Commercial and shareware versions of Telnet server
software are available from a variety of sources.
b. Configure, and start the Telnet server software according to the instructions
that come with it.
3. On your HP-UX system, start the telnet utility and open a connection to the PC
you are trying to access. For example:
$ /usr/bin/telnet
telnet>open vectrapc1.net2.corporate
Trying...
Connected to vectrapc1.net2.corporate.
Escape character is `^]'.
Local flow control off
(A pleasant telnet server/OS identification message)
login:
TIP: You can shorten the connection process by using telnet in noninteractive
mode. To do this, specify the name of the PC that you are trying to connect to as
an argument on the command line when you start up telnet. For example:
$ /usr/bin/telnet vectrapc1.net2.corporate
4. Log in using the same user name and password as you would if you were sitting
at the PC’s keyboard. How you specify the NT domain information will vary
depending on the Telnet server software that you are using. Follow the instructions
that come with your Telnet server software or the prompts that the server software
gives you during the login process.
