Configuring Individual Telnet Client Session Characteristics

∙NEWLINE TO TERMINAL — When entered, the character sequence is sent to the user’s terminal whenever a NEWLINE FROM HOST sequence is received. The factory-set default is <CRLF>.

∙NEWLINE FROM HOST — When received from the Internet host, the character sequence is interpreted as a new line. The factory-set default is <CRLF>. Note that the Telnet protocol specifies that the CRLF sequence should be sent.

∙NEWLINE TO HOST — When entered, the character sequence is sent to the Internet host whenever a NEWLINE FROM TERMINAL sequence is received. The factory-set default is <CRLF>. Note that the Telnet protocol specifies that the CRLF sequence should be sent.

You can define NONE if you do not want a character to be defined.

Example: Specifying Telnet Client NEWLINE

The following example shows how to define no character for NEWLINE TO TERMINAL and “AB” as a character string for Newline To Terminal on port 5:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT NEWLINE TO TERMINAL NONE Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT NEWLINE TO TERMINAL AB

Specifying FLOW CONTROL

The FLOW CONTROL characteristic enables or disables the XON/XOFF FLOW CONTROL characters for any Telnet client session created at the port.

The access server supports the remote FLOW CONTROL feature, where the remote Telnet server can toggle on and off the XON and XOFF output FLOW CONTROL characters from the access server (client). This happens when an application on the Telnet server uses the XON and XOFF characters for a function other than FLOW CONTROL.

Example: Disabling FLOW CONTROL

The following example shows how to disable FLOW CONTROL on the Telnet client on port 5:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT FLOW CONTROL DISABLED

You can enable or disable FLOW CONTROL from the device to the access server (input) or from the access server to the device (output). By not specifying the keywords INPUT or OUTPUT, FLOW CONTROL is enabled in both directions.

Examples: Enabling FLOW CONTROL

The following example shows how to enable FLOW CONTROL from the device to port 5:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT INPUT FLOW CONTROL ENABLED
