Telnet will connect to the remote host. The host then will normally respond with a welcome
and will lead you through its log in process. Log in, employing one of the following
combinations:
• With the userid and password supplied by the administrator of the host
• With just a userid (some hosts do not require passwords)
• Neither, if the remote host has been set up for it.
Once connected, use the menus, commands and features of the remote host, which are
largely text-based and can vary from host to host.
Logging out of a remote host
When you are finished using the remote host, use that host’s normal log out command.
Telnet will automatically finish running.
To disconnect from the host when its log out command is not available, or if you are stuck
for any other reason, enter one of the following:
• Ctrl - ]
• the escape character displayed by the host upon logging in.
Recommended reference guides
Telnet enables many special telecommunication features to be configured, such as how
carriage returns or interrupts are processed. Such features may be needed when accessing
a non-Unix remote host. Contact your system administrator or refer to one of the
