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 1-7 shows a terminal user connected to an ARPA node and using the Telnet
service to access an HP e3000 Series 900. The TAC card in the DTC converts the Telnet
traffic into TIO traffic for the MPE system.
