<h2>Accessing SICS through Telnet</h2>
|
|
<p>
|
|
SICS is able to communicate with standard TCP/IP telnet clients. Suitable
|
|
telnet clients are available on allmost all computer platforms free of
|
|
charge as part of the network software. In order to access SICS with telnet
|
|
you need to know the following five bits of information:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>The name of the computer where the SICS server is running.
|
|
<li>The port number at which the SICS server lsitens for telnet connections.
|
|
<li>The login word.
|
|
<li>A valid username.
|
|
<li>A valid password for your user name.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
This information will be supplied to you by your instrument scientist if she
|
|
finds you and your cause honorable enough.
|
|
</p>
|
|
|
|
<p>
|
|
Loging in to SICS through telnet requires the following steps:
|
|
<ul>
|
|
<li>Invoke your telnet client and try to contact machine name at the port
|
|
number given. For example on a Unix or VMS this looks like:
|
|
<pre>
|
|
telnet machine.psi.ch 7654
|
|
</pre>
|
|
Of course this may differ if you use a telnet client on a different
|
|
platform.
|
|
<li> If things go well, you'll be connected to the SICS server then, though
|
|
he does not tell you about it. However, SICS will not allow you to type
|
|
commands yet. You have to login with the magic three words: <b>loginword
|
|
username password</b>. Only if you get this right, the SICS server will
|
|
print a welcome message and you may type commands to the server.
|
|
</ul>
|
|
You can logoff from the SICS server by typing <b>logoff</b>.
