Connects your terminal (through the current host processor)
to another processor, called the remote processor. The command
requires that:
o You must have an account on the remote system to log in.
o The NETMBX (network mailbox) privilege is set.
For more information about using the following qualifiers, see
help for the appropriate subtopic.
Qualifier Type of Connection
/DTE Connects your system to a remote system through an
outgoing terminal line.
/DUP Connects your terminal to a storage controller
through the appropriate bus for that controller.
/HSC Connects your terminal to an HSC disk and tape
controller through the computer interconnect (CI)
bus.
/LAT Connects your terminal to a specified service
available on the local area network (LAN).
/RLOGIN Allows you to log in to a remote host over a TCP/IP
connection and start an interactive terminal session
by accessing the RLOGIN application.
/TELNET Connects you to a remote host over a TCP/IP
connection by invoking the TELNET application.
/TN3270 Connects you to a remote IBM host over a TCP/IP
connection, causing the local keyboard to emulate
an IBM 3279-class terminal keyboard by invoking the
TN3270 terminal emulator.
Format
SET HOST node-name
1 – Parameter
node-name
Specifies the node name of the remote processor to which you will
connect.
2 – Qualifiers
2.1 /APPLICATION_PROTOCOL
/APPLICATION_PROTOCOL[=protocol]
Specifies the protocol connection, CTERM (CTDRIVER) or RTERM
(RTTDRIVER) on the specified node. CTERM protocol is the default
if no connection is specified.
2.2 /BUFFER_SIZE
/BUFFER_SIZE=n
Changes the packet size of the protocol message sent between the
terminal and the remote processor if a connection to the remote
processor is already established. The default buffer size is 1010
bytes; however, the buffer size n can range from 140 bytes to
1024 bytes. The value of the parameter n is reset to 140 bytes if
a value below 140 is specified; a value for n above 1024 bytes is
reset to 1024.
You can force the host node to write to the terminal in smaller
packets, thereby ensuring that write operations to the terminal
are displayed at more frequent intervals, by setting n to a
value just above the minimum of 140 bytes. On slow DECnet links,
setting the buffer size to a smaller value may decrease pauses
between write operations when large amounts of data are being
scrolled to the screen.
2.3 /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.LOG.
2.4 /MOP
/MOP client-name
Connects your system to a remote system using the MOP protocol.
Note that this qualifier is displayed only if DECnet-Plus is
installed on your system.

$
9 /TELNET
Connects you to a remote host over a TCP/IP connection by
invoking the TELNET application.
Format
{ IPhostname }
SET HOST/TELNET { IPaddress }
{ }
NOTE
You can specify the IPhostname or the IPaddress, but not
both.
9.1 – Parameters
IPhostname
Specifies the IP host name of the remote host.
IPaddress
Specifies an IP address of the remote host.
9.2 – Qualifiers
9.2.1 /AUTHENTICATE
Specifies that Kerberos authentication should be used for
acquiring access to the remote node.
9.2.2 /PORT
/PORT=port
Specifies the remote TCP port to use. The default is 23.
9.2.3 /TERMINAL_TYPE
/TERMINAL_TYPE=type
Sets the terminal emulator to one of the following terminal
types: VT100, VT200, VT300, VT400, VT500.
9.3 – Example
$ SET HOST/TELNET remotehst2
This example creates a TELNET connection to remote host
remotehst2 over a TCP/IP connection.
10 /TN3270
Connects you to a remote IBM host over a TCP/IP connection,
causing the local keyboard to emulate an IBM 3279-class terminal
keyboard by invoking the TN3270 terminal emulator.
Format
{ IPhostname }
SET HOST/TN3270 { IPaddress }
{ }
NOTE
You can specify the IPhostname or the IPaddress, but not
both.
10.1 – Parameters
IPhostname
Specifies the IP host name of the remote host.
IPaddress
Specifies an IP address of the remote host.
10.2 – Qualifiers
10.2.1 /AUTHENTICATE
Specifies that Kerberos authentication should be used for
acquiring access to the remote node.
10.2.2 /PORT
/PORT=port
Specifies the remote TCP port to use. The default is 23.
10.2.3 /TERMINAL_TYPE
Sets the terminal emulator to one of the following terminal
types: VT100, VT200, VT300, VT400, VT500.
10.3 – Example
$ SET HOST/TN3270 remotehst3
This example creates a connection to a TELNET server on the
remote IBM system remotehst3 over a TCP/IP connection.
