Configuring Terminal Emulation over IP
For TE/IP, the host is usually specified by an IP address (unless you are using a domain name server). This can cause a problem because often the 6400 computer needs to know which port the host application is residing on. The default port number (23) is automatically assumed in TE/ IP. Therefore, if the default port is where the application is residing, only the host IP address needs to be entered for the TE program’s Host Name parameter.
If your application resides on a port other than 23, you must configure the 6400 computer’s PCTCP.INI file and host table file, and then configure the TE program’s Host Name parameter.
1. Open the PCTCP.INI file and enter:
2. Open the host table file and enter:
| 127.0.0.1 | LOCALHOST |
| <host IP address> | <variable> |
EXAMPLE: | 127.0.0.1 | LOCALHOST |
| 192.168.5.40 | X |
3.Enter the Terminal Emulation menus and go to the Host Name parameter. Enter the variable located in the host table file followed by a space and then the port number to which the terminal connects to the host. For example x 15
"NOTE: You cannot enter the host IP address, a space, and then the port number for the Host Name parameter, because the length of the Host Name field is not long enough.
If you are using Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and TE/IP, you do not need to specify a host IP ad- dress and a port number for the Host Name parameter in the terminal emulation menus.
