Expand Telnet, select Telnet Connection, and click Next.
Click the toolbar icon for a Telnet session (
).
To start a Telnet session using the wizard
Do either of the following:
Use the Eclipse menu
On the File menu, point to New and click Other.
The Select a wizard dialog box is displayed.
Expand Telnet, select Telnet Connection, and click Next.
Click the toolbar icon for
a Telnet session (
).
The New Telnet Connection dialog box is displayed.
If connections were configured using the Preferences dialog box (refer to Setting Up the Telnet Connection), a list of connections appears in the Connections box.
To use an existing connection, click Configured and select a connection in the list.
Its parameters are displayed in the Host and User ID fields (refer to Field Descriptions for more information).
To create a new connection, Refer Setting Up the Telnet Connection.
Click Finish.
The Telnet session starts with the parameters set for the selected connection.
Note: When you log in manually, no system feedback (echo) occurs, so that your log-in data is hidden.
You can continue your work using standard OS 2200 or UNIX commands.
Select a project from the OS 2200 Explorer view.
Go to OS
2200 and select Add a Telnet
Session bound to this project (
).
A new Telnet session is created
for the host of the selected project. This session is not exclusively
bound to the project, and the user can input the commands directly
to the session. The cursor is not automatically placed in this Telnet
view; however, the user can place the cursor manually by clicking
inside the view to execute the ECL commands.
This session is an alternative to the background Telnet session that
is created during the project build. The project build utilizes this
session, and unlike the background session, this session would not
be logged out after the build is completed. Hence, the same session
is used for subsequent builds.
Note: This option is disabled if the user does not select a project.
Control the Telnet session using the command icons or shortcut menu (refer to Command Icons and Shortcut Menu Commands).

Set ECL Mapping |
Enables you to create user-defined ECL Mapping for the telnet view. You can associate shortcut keys for the frequently used ECL statements. For more information, refer to Mapping ECL Commands. |
|
Open Log |
Opens the log file. All the console output is written automatically to the log file under %appdata%\unisys\os2200\ide\logs\Telnet-<consoleviewName>.log Due to memory constraints in Java Virtual Machine (JVM), a maximum of 10000 lines are retained in the telnet console viewer. When the count goes beyond 10000 lines, only the latest 10000 lines are retained and the rest are removed from the console view, but all the information is retained in the console log. |
|
Kill Process and Output |
Discards all backed-up output and terminates the program currently being executed; interrupts the process on the host, canceling both the process and the output. (Equivalent 2200 ECL: @@X TO) |
|
Cancel Output |
Cancels the output from the host. The @@X O command discards all backed-up output. The process will complete. (Equivalent 2200 ECL: @@X O) |
|
Pause Output |
Temporarily stops output to the console and resumes the output when the Enter key is pressed again. (Equivalent 2200 ECL: Message Wait) |
|
Save telnet console |
Saves the output of the telnet console on the local disk or wherever the user selects the path. |
Right-click the Telnet window and click any of the following commands.
Copy
Paste
Select All
Switch to duplex command line
( 
)
A duplex command line transmits each character to the host as it is typed. The character is echoed by the host and then written to the screen. The only editing allowed in duplex mode is the backspace. Duplex is the default mode for connections to a UNIX host, and it typically is used when control characters need to be sent to the host. In duplex mode, the icon of the window shows the double arrow.
Switch
to buffered command line ( 
)
A buffered command line writes all characters to the screen buffer as they are typed and transmits the command line to the host only when the enter key is pressed. Typical workstation editing is allowed, such as insert, delete, copy, and paste anywhere on the line. Buffered is the default mode for connections to an OS 2200 host. In buffered mode, the icon of the window shows the single arrow.

Refer to Command Icons in this topic for definitions and icons of the save, kill, cancel, and pause commands.
Note: If telnet connection is established in OS 2200 perspective, it also reflects on debug perspective and vice versa.
Host
Name of an OS 2200 or UNIX system to be used in the Telnet session. For a successful login, you must have all the standard credentials that apply to the host, such as user-id, password, and possibly account number and project information. If the credentials on a 2200 host are set up for automatic login, only the user-id and password are required.
User ID
(Information only.) This is the user-id of the person who created the account.
Port
Number of the port used for the Telnet session. Default = 23. Check with your system administrator if the port number on your system is different.
Connections
(Displayed only when a connection has already been set up.) Connections are associated with host accounts and are created from the Telnet Connection Settings window. Each host account can have any number of connections.
When you select a character set for a configured connection or during a manual Telnet login, all occurrences of the selected characters in the Telnet traffic are converted to Unicode before being displayed.
The available character sets include the Japanese character set and the 7-bit character sets that are supported by ISO-646.
