On your Mac, you should have an icon that will start a terminal sesssion (a window with a $ sign for a prompt).
Start a session, and enter:
ssh myuserid@192.168.200.230
enter your password.
You should be logged in.
This assumes that your Mac is connected to the same network as the HP.
Don't expect your function keys to work, or that the arrow keys will likely work.
Your instructor has failed to mention the terminal type and other settings.
If you need more info, you will have to talk to someone who knows Macs better than I do.

NAME
xtitle - set window title and icon name for an X11 terminal window SYNOPSIS
xtitle [ -tiq ] [ -- ] string ... | [ -V ] [ -h ] DESCRIPTION
Xtitle will set the window title and/or the icon name of the terminal window in which it is run to be its command line arguments. It does this by outputting the appropriate xterm(1) control sequence characters. Unless suppressed, xtitle will also report the settings it has made. OPTIONS
-- Interprets all following arguments as strings instead of options. -h, --help Prints a helpful usage message. -i, --icon Only set the icon name. Default sets both. -t, --title Only set the window title. Default sets both. -v, --verbose Quiet mode. Doesn't report the settings performed. -V, --version Only prints the program version. CAVEATS
Xtitle is known to work with xterm(1) and dtterm(1). The effect of the control sequences in other terminals is not known, though I wouldn't expect any problems. VERSION
