Cabletron Systems CSX1000, CSX1200 manual Terminal Commands

USER’S GUIDE

•<CTRL><char>, where <char> is in the range of ASCII 'A' to ASCII '_'

•<CTRL><char>, where <char> is in the range of ASCII 'a' to ASCII 'z' (note that lower case letters are converted to upper case before they are used)

•<char>, where <char> is in the range of ASCII '!' to ASCII '~'

To specify the <CTRL> key in the set escape command, use the ’>’ character. The following is an example of setting the escape character equal to ‘<CTRL> P’:

[System Name]>set escape ^P Escape character is ‘^P’.

status

The status command can be used to interrogate information about the current Telnet session.

toggle

The toggle command can be used to set various operating parameters for the current Telnet session. Currently, the only parameter available is debug.

If no parameters are specified on the toggle command line (or if toggle ? is entered), the following help message is displayed:

[System Name]>toggle Available toggle commands:

debug - Turn TELNET debug mode on or off.

?- Display this help information.

The toggle debug command allows you to turn the Telnet debug mode on or off. If the debug mode is turned on, messages beginning with “[TELNET-C]” may appear in the system log file. Most users will not find these messages helpful. If you have difficulty with the system Telnet client feature, we suggest you call your Distributor or Customer Support.

TERMINAL COMMANDS

The CyberSWITCH supports two terminal types: vt100 and ANSI. When a Telnet connection is established, the system attempts to negotiate the terminal type. When the negotiation fails, the system sets the terminal type to vt100.

To successfully issue the pkt display, semi perm, and mc commands, you must have the terminal type set identically for both the Telnet emulator and the terminal emulation. To do this, use the term set command.

The following commands are used to display the terminal type currently in use or to set the terminal type.

term

Displays the terminal type name.

term set <terminal type>

Allows you to set the terminal type. You may set the terminal type to either vt100 or ANSI.
