VARY TCPIP,tnproc,<TELNET>

Use the VARY TCPIP,tnproc,<TELNET> commands to control the TN3270E Telnet server (Telnet).

Using the VARY TCPIP,tnproc,<TELNET> commands, you can control the Telnet port and the LUs in the profile table. The combination of the STOP, QUIESCE, RESUME, and OBEYFILE commands gives the operator complete control over when to stop and start Telnet services and when to allow end users to connect. To help manage commands that are related to multiple ports, commands support a PORT keyword.
