Step 1—VTxxx—Starting the Telnet Server Job
The server job for a TCP/IP application must be started in the QSYSWRK
subsystem. The Start TCP/IP Server (STRTCPSVR) command starts the servers
that are shipped with the TCP/IP Utilities licensed program.
Even though the Change Telnet Attributes (CHGTELNA) command has an
AUTOSTART parameter, that parameter is overridden or ignored by the
STRTCPSVR command.
Step 2—VTxxx—Setting the Number of Virtual Devices
Virtual devices are used by the server system to direct output to devices on your
system. AS/400 Telnet server support automatically selects (and creates, if
necessary) these devices for you. You may also choose to create your own virtual
device under the QVIRCDnnnn virtual controller.
The option is available for you to allow the Telnet server support on the AS/400
system to automatically configure virtual controllers and devices. The QAUTOVRT
system value specifies the maximum number of devices that are automatically
configured by the system. Use the Change System Value (CHGSYSVAL) command
to change the value of the QAUTOVRT system value. For example, entering the
following command string changes the number of virtual devices that can be
allocated on a system to 50:
CHGSYSVAL SYSVAL(QAUTOVRT) VALUE(50)
Note: QAUTOVRT has been modified for Version 4 Release 2 to support numeric
values of 0 through 32500, and a special value of *NOMAX.
To determine and set the maximum number of users you want signed on to the
AS/400 system at any time, do the following:
Configure TCP/IP TELNET
System: SYSNAM01
Select one of the following:
1. Change TELNET attributes
2. Set VT mapping tables
3. Display VT keyboard map
4. Change VT keyboard map
5. Set VT keyboard map
Work with associated system values:
10. Autoconfigure virtual devices
11. Limit security officer device access
12. Inactive job time-out
13. Inactive job message queue
14. Limit device sessions
15. Action to take for failed sign-on attempts
16. Maximum sign-on attempts allowed
