Function

Description

Default

 

 

 

Abort Output (AO)

Aborts any output that is on its way to the

Ctrl/O

 

user’s terminal. If an Internet host hangs

 

 

after an AO is sent, use the SEND

 

 

RESUME OUTPUT command.

 

Interrupt Process (IP)

Aborts the process at the remote Internet

Ctrl/Y

 

host.

 

Synch

Drops input on its way to the remote

Ctrl/X

 

Internet host. This includes output queued

 

 

by the access server and the host.

 

Are You There (AYT)

Verifies if the connection to the Telnet

Ctrl/T

 

server is still active. You must resume the

 

 

session to see the Telnet server’s response.

 

Break (BRK)

Sends a Telnet Break command to the

None

 

Internet host. The way that this command

 

 

is interpreted depends on the host.

 

End of Record (EOR)

Sends a Telnet End of Record command to

None

 

the Internet host. This command is only

 

 

sent if the EOR option is enabled through

 

 

negotiation with the peer.

 

Quote

Causes the next character to be treated as

None

 

ordinary data. To send a key mapped to a

 

 

Telnet command as ordinary data, you

 

 

precede the key with the Quote command.

 

Toggle Echo

Defines a character to enable or disable the

Ctrl/E

 

echoed input when the ECHO option is

 

 

local. You can use this command to

 

 

suppress a local echo when you type a

 

 

password.
