Chapter 4 - ProxyServer Software
MTPSR2-201
Enabling Remote Servers
The Applications Setup dialog box lets you set up support for Telnet Server, TFTP (Trivial File
Transfer Protocol), WEB Server, and Dumb Terminal Management in the ProxyServer. Initially, all
four server types are enabled (or checked). The Server Password field enables the user to assign a
password that must be entered along with the “supervisor” default logon name.
Telnet/TFTP
Telnet is an applications level protocol commonly found in IP-based networks that enables terminal
emulation at a remote workstation. To do this, there is usually a server at a central point that allows
multiple clients to connect and request to use the service. The service could be anything. Usually it is
terminal emulation. The ProxyServer has a Telnet server that allows multiple clients to connect and
request to use Telnet service, usually terminal emulation. Telnet is most often implemented over TCP.
TFTP is a file transfer protocol that uses UDP and provides a simple method for transferring files
between two nodes (the server and the client).
To display the Applications Setup dialog box, click Others on the Proxy Setup main menu.
