Specifying CHARACTER SIZE

The CHARACTER SIZE characteristic allows the user to select the character size, 7- or 8-bit, that is used during a session with an Internet host. In addition, the character size can be specified in the transmit direction, receive direction, or both directions.

Example: Setting CHARACTER SIZE

The following example shows how to set CHARACTER SIZE to 7-bit in both directions for port 5:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT CHARACTER SIZE 7

Example: Setting CHARACTER SIZE for a Specific Direction

The following example shows how to set CHARACTER SIZE to 7 in the transmit direction. To set the character size in the receive direction, use RECEIVE instead of

TRANSMIT.

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT TRANSMIT CHARACTER SIZE 7

Mapping Keyboard Characters to Telnet Functions

You can assign keyboard characters to various Telnet functions. The SIGNAL REQUEST characteristic can enable or disable all these functions. The factory-set default is ENABLED.

Example: Disabling SIGNAL REQUEST

The following example shows how to disable SIGNAL REQUEST on port 5:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT SIGNAL REQUEST DISABLED

Example: Mapping Keyboard Characters

The following example shows how to map the AO function to the Delete key:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT AO <DEL>

You can use the SET SESSION command to map a Telnet function to a key for a particular session. This mapping only lasts for the duration of the specified session. You cannot map a keyboard character to more than one function.
