5.2.15 Creating and Modifying NVT Services

Terminal services allow client-based terminal emulator programs to connect to the UNIX host. For many clients, you can simply use the built-in TCP/IP protocol and a vendor-provided--or third-party--telnet program. TAS NVT services provide the same capability using NVT as a transport. To connect to TAS NVT services, you need a terminal emulator that supports NVT. Usually, clients with only IPX/SPX available use TAS NVT services.

Follow these steps to create or modify an NVT service:

1. Follow these links:

   NetWare Realm->Manage NVT Services

   The List of NetWare NVT Service screen appears.

2. From the list, select the NVT service you want to modify, or enter the name of a service you want to create in the text field. The list contains nothing if no NVT services exist.

3. Click Create or Administer. The Administer button does not appear if no NVT services exist.

   If you clicked Create, the Create New NetWare NVT Service screen below appears. Go to Step 4.

   If you clicked Administer, the NetWare NVT Service servicename screen appears. Click Configuration, or click the appropriate link from the following, then click OK on the subsequent screen: Accept Service Connections, Reject Service Connections, Status, Start Services, Shutdown Services. If you click Configuration, the Update NetWare NVT Service servicename screen, same as the Create New NetWare NVT Service screen below, appears. Go to Step 4.

   

4. Enter or select values for the following attribute, as needed:

   • NetWare NVT Service Name -- The NVT service. If you clicked Administer and Configuration, this attribute does not appear.

   • Service description -- The description used within TAS for the service. It consists of an arbitrary line of text.

   • Start this NVT service? -- The option to start this NVT service when you click Submit. If you clicked Administer and Configuration, this attribute does not appear.

5. Click Submit.

   The Create New NetWare NVT Service servicename screen or the Update NetWare NVT Service servicename screen appears.

6. Click OK.

   To administer NVT services from the UNIX command line, use the tnservice command.
