Telnet/iX Access
Telnet/iX provides connections to MPE systems from terminals
connected to systems running ARPA standard Telnet services. Telnet/iX
includes a Telnet Access Card (TAC) that resides in the DTC 48 or
DTC 72MX and provides protocol conversion between Telnet and AFCP.
Equivalent functionality is provided by the Telnet Express Server
(HP2344A).
NOTE A DTC 48 cannot contain both a TAC and an X.25 card.
Figure 1-4 shows a terminal user connected to an ARPA node and using
the Telnet service to access an HP 3000 Series 900. The TAC card in the
DTC converts the Telnet traffic into TIO traffic for the MPE system.
