13 Using Your Workstation as a 6530 Terminal
The TN6530 is a multiple-page terminal emulation utility that runs on a BSD-based UNIX system
(specifically, the Sun Microsystems machine running SunOS Release 3.5 or higher, or UNIX 4.2).
When you run TN6530, your workstation emulates a 6530 series (653X) terminal, allowing you
to log on to a NonStop computer and run applications that depend on the full capabilities of a
653X terminal.
TN6530 provides access to a NonStop system through the TELNET protocol on a TCP/IP network.
While using TN6530, you can easily change from workstation mode to emulator mode.
NOTE: Before the TN6530 can be used, the software must be installed. To use conversational
mode or 653X block-mode functions, your window size must be at least 80 columns by 25 rows.
Appendix C contains detailed information about installing TN6530.
Starting TN6530
To use TN6530, you must have the program files installed on your workstation. You must have a
logon name (Guardian user ID) on the host system you want to use. The system manager of the
host system can create a user ID for you.
The form of the TN6530 run command is:
tn6530 [ host [ port ] ]
host
identifies the remote NonStop host system. You can specify host as a host name or host internet
address. See “Addressing Remote Hosts” in Section 1, Introduction to TCP/IP Applications and
Utilities, for information about specifying host names and addresses.
port
identifies the TCP port number. The well-known (default) port is 23.
To start the program, follow these steps:
1.
At the UNIX prompt, type tn6530, followed by the name or internet address of the host system
you want to use. For example, to connect to a host named warehs1, enter the following
command and press the ENTER key (or the RETURN key):
% tn6530 warehs1
Trying...Connected to warehs1
Escape character is '^]'
You can request a specific port by specifying its number following the host name (or address),
as in the following example:
% tn6530 warehs1 20.
You should receive a welcome banner from the host system, indicating its system name and
a terminal name. The host system also displays a list of available services. Here is an example
welcome banner:
WELCOME TO warehs1.Tandem.COM...
T 9553 C20 TELNET SERVER ....
Available Services:
TACL EXIT
Enter Choice>
2. Choose the service you want to use by typing the service name and pressing the RETURN key.
For example, to start a TACL process enter the following choice:
