Connects your system to a remote system utilizing the OSI Virtual
Terminal Protocol.
Format
SET HOST/VTP alias
1 – Parameter
alias
Specifies the name of the remote VT application that you wish
to connect to. This name can be an alias in the
SYS$COMMON:[SYSEXE]ISOAPPLICATIONS.DAT file, or it can be the
X.500 Distinguished Name of the remote VT application enclosed
in quotes.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /BREAK
/BREAK=break-character
Selects the break character. The break character is used to
generate a break on lines that expect a break rather than a
carriage return. To generate a break, press Ctrl/break-character.
The break character can be any ASCII character between @ and z.
You cannot select a character currently defined as either the
command character (see the description of the /COMMAND=command-
character qualifier) or the disconnect character (see the
description of the /DISCONNECT=disconnect-character qualifier).
The ASCII characters between @ and z include the alphabetic
characters in both upper and lower cases, the "at" sign (@),
the backslash (\), the right bracket (]), the circumflex (^),
the underscore (_), and the grave accent (`).
By default, the break character is the right bracket (]).
2.2 /COMMAND
/COMMAND=command-character
Selects the command character. The command character is used to
access VT command mode by pressing Ctrl/command-character.
The command character can be any ASCII character between @ and z.
You cannot select a character currently defined as either the
break character (see the description of the
/BREAK=break-character qualifier) or the disconnect character
(see the description of the /DISCONNECT=disconnect-character
qualifier).
The ASCII characters between @ and z include the alphabetic
characters in both upper and lower cases, the "at" sign (@),
the backslash (\), the right bracket (]), the circumflex (^),
the underscore (_), and the grave accent (`).
By default, the command character is the "at" sign (@).
2.3 /DISCONNECT
/DISCONNECT=disconnect-character
Selects the disconnect character. The disconnect character is
used to abnormally terminate VT association with the remote
system by pressing Ctrl/disconnect-character.
The disconnect character can be any ASCII character between @
and z. You cannot select a character currently defined as
either the break character (see the description of the
/BREAK=break-character qualifier) or the command character (see
the description of the /COMMAND=command-character qualifier).
The ASCII characters between @ and z include the alphabetic
characters in both upper and lower cases, the "at" sign (@),
the backslash (\), the right bracket (]), the circumflex (^),
the underscore (_), and the grave accent (`).
By default, the disconnect character is the "backslash" (\).
2.4 /LOG
/LOG[=filespec]
/NOLOG (default)
Controls whether a log file of the entire session is kept. If you
use the /LOG qualifier without the file specification, the log
information is stored in the file SETHOST_VTP.LOG.
2.5 /PROFILE
/PROFILE=profile-name
Specifies the Virtual Terminal profile to be used when
establishing the association. The following profiles are
currently supported:
o Generalized_Telnet (default)
o Telnet
o Transparent
o Amode_default
2.6 /STATISTICS
/STATISTICS
/NOSTATISTICS (default)
Provides statistics on the VT association, including CPU usage,
pagefaults, and I/O counts.
3 – Example
$ SET HOST/VTP ITALIC
Username: BROWN
Password:
Welcome to VAX/VMS Version 5.4 on node ITALIC
.
.
.
$ LOGOUT
BROWN logged out at 19-APR-1991 15:04:25.27
%VT-S-END, Control returned to local end system
In this example, the name of the local node is CASLON. This SET
HOST/VTP command connects the user terminal to the processor at
the network node named ITALIC. The remote processor then prompts
for user name and password. Use the normal login procedure to
log in to the remote processor.
