Connect to the Host using Telnet

You can configure a Telnet connection by using the HostAddress property. If you want to use a single macro to connect to different hosts, set up the macro to prompt the user for a host name. (This example is for OpenSystems hosts only.)

This example configures a Telnet connection, prompts the user for an OpenSystems host, and then establishes the connection.

Sub ConnectToTelnetHost ()

Dim whatHost As String

With ThisTerminal

If .IsConnected = True Then

MsgBox"You already have an open connection."

Else

.ConnectionType = ConnectionTypeOption.ConnectionTypeOption_Telnet

whatHost = InputBox("Host to connect to:", "Host Name")

IfwhatHost<>""Then

.ConnectionSettings.HostAddress = whatHost

.Connect

End If

End With

End Sub
