Using Your Telnet Utility - TCP/IP

When your network protocol is TCP/IP, you can use the Telnet terminal emulator supplied with Windows to communicate with the OpenVMS server from the CONNX administrator computer.

To use Telnet to communicate with the OpenVMS server

  1. Click the Start button, and then point to Run. In the Open text box, type telnet <host name> and then click the OK button. The x:\WINDOWS\CONNX32\telnet.exe window appears.

  3. With the displayed prompt displayed, continue to the desired OpenVMS activity.

Note: If the welcome message does not appear, make sure your network connection to the server is working. See Troubleshooting Connection Problems.
