Telnet
The Telnet application is activated in the Internet
applications main view by selecting Telnet and
pressing
Select
. The Telnet application is used to
make a connection to a remote computer in or-
der to use its applications over the Internet. The
Telnet application functions and looks very much
like the Terminal application. Both applications,
Telnet and Terminal, emulate the VT100 terminal
display (see figure 7-8). The display occupies the
whole left side of the screen. The screen size is 80
characters in 24 lines.
Once a Telnet connection is established, you
must in most cases enter your login name and a
password in order to be able to use the services
provided by the host computer. The Telnet main
view shows all already defined Telnet hosts.
To connect with one of the defined Telnet hosts,
select a host and press
Connect
(see "Telnet con-
nection").
To create new or edit existing connections, press
Define
. See "Defining Telnet connections".
Defining Telnet connections
After you have pressed Define in the Telnet main
view, the defined Telnet connections are shown.
To edit existing connections, press
Edit .
To define new Telnet connections, press
New
.
To delete the selected connection, press
Delete
.
Pressing Edit or New opens the Define Telnet
connections view, where you can define the fol-
lowing settings:
Connection name — Edit an existing or enter a
new connection name. The name can be defined
freely.
Destination host — Edit an existing or enter a
new connection address. The host is identified by
either a numeric IP address or a correct textual
host name.
Internet access — Select one access provider
from those currently defined. To change the pre-
ferred access provider, press the
Change
com-
mand button.
Backspace key — Defines whether the keyboard
backspace key is used as a backspace ( BS - de-
fault) or delete ( DEL ) key.
Telnet connection
When you have connected to the remote system,
the following commands become available (see
figure 7-8):
Press
Keys
to emulate the VT100 special keys
which are not available on the communicator
keyboard. The special keys include four program-
mable function keys (PF1-4), all VT100 applica-
tion keypad keys (numbers 1-9, minus, comma,
period, dash, enter) and the following VT100
functions: reset terminal, Ctrl-\, Ctrl-], Ctrl-~. In
the case of a Telnet connection, these special
keys include the following commands (can be
used in remote systems that support them):
Interrupt — for interrupting the current proc-
ess on the remote computer.
Skip command output — to prevent command
output from being displayed on the screen.
Are you there? — for enquiring whether the
remote system is still running (if the execu-
tion of a task seems to take too long).
