Managing Sessions

Managing Sessions

This section shows how to initiate and terminate sessions and how to display session information.

Initiating a Session to a LAT Service

To initiate a session to a LAT service, use the CONNECT LAT command with the service name. If the default protocol (refer to Specifying the Default Protocol in this chapter) is set to LAT or ANY, you can ignore the LAT keyword.

Example: Initiating a Session to a LAT Service

The following example shows how to initiate a session with LAT service SALES:

Local> CONNECT LAT SALES

You can use the CONNECT command to connect to any available LAT node or service at a specific service node and port. For example, if it is important for you to connect to a particular system associated with a service named ACCOUNTING, you can specify the service node where that system is attached.

Example: Connecting to a LAT Service on a Specific Node or Server

The following shows how to connect to LAT service SALES at node SERVER2:

Local> CONNECT LAT SALES NODE SERVER2

The following shows how to connect to LAT service SALES at node SERVER2, port 1:

Local> CONNECT LAT SALES NODE SERVER2 DESTINATION 1

Initiating a Session to an Internet Host

To initiate a session to an Internet host, use the CONNECT TELNET command with the Internet host name or address. If the default protocol (refer to Specifying the Default Protocol in this chapter) is set to TELNET, you can ignore the TELNET keyword. You can connect to the Internet host name or address. The host name can be either a relative or an absolute domain name.
