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.
