USER’S GUIDE

The set escape command can be used to change the “escape” character for the current Telnet session. This command may be useful when a device is connected to a target host, using several different Telnet connections. By changing the escape character to a value other than the default (<CTRL>), the user can return to Telnet “command” mode for a particular session.

Typically, Telnet “escape” characters have the form ‘<CTRL><char>‘ (i.e., the CTRL key + some other key must be pressed). The <value> parameter for the “set escape” command may have any of the following values:

•<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.
