Configuring Individual Telnet Client Session Characteristics

Example: Configuring SWITCH CHARACTER

The following example shows how to disable the SWITCH CHARACTERs on port 5:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT SWITCH CHARACTER DISABLED Local> CHANGE PORT 5 LIMITED VIEW ENABLED

The limited view characteristic does not apply when you set privileges on the port.

Specifying a Preferred Terminal Type

The TERMINAL characteristic allows the user to specify a terminal type to be sent to the Telnet host during session startup. The available types are ANSI, UNKNOWN, and VT10 through VT999. This value is used as a starting point for terminal type subnegotiation between the access server and the host. The actual terminal type, as displayed by the SHOW PORT SESSION STATUS command, may be different if the Telnet host can not support the specified type. The order of negotiation is VTXXX, followed by ANSI, followed by UNKNOWN. For example, if the TERMINAL characteristic is set to VT321, the access server will negotiate for the following terminal types in the order listed:

DEC-VT32, VT321, DEC-VT300, VT300, DEC-VT200, VT200, DEC-VT100, VT100, ANSI, UNKNOWN

Example: Specifying Terminal Type

The following example shows the command for defining a terminal type for a VT321:

Local > CHANGE PORT TELENET CLIENT TERMINAL VT321
