Managing Sessions

Example: Initiating a Session with an Internet Host

The following three commands show how to initiate a session with the same host. The first command uses the relative domain name, SALES; the second command uses the absolute domain name SALES.MARKETING.DEC.COM; and the third command uses the Internet address, 129.122.30.11.

Local> CONNECT TELNET SALES

Local> CONNECT TELNET SALES.MARKETING.DEC.COM

Local> CONNECT TELNET 129.122.30.11

You can also use the OPEN or TELNET command instead of the CONNECT command to connect to an Internet host. The OPEN command does not accept the TELNET keyword.

Local> OPEN SALES

Local> TELNET SALES

Sending Telnet Functions to a Remote Telnet Server

To send a Telnet function such as AO, AYT, BRK, EOR, or SYNCH, you use the SEND TELNET command on a current session with a Telnet server. For example, the following command sends the Telnet abort output (AO) command:

Local> SEND TELNET AO

You can map Telnet functions to keyboard characters as described in Mapping Keyboard Characters to Telnet Functions. For a complete list of Telnet commands, refer to Telnet Keymapping Functions in this chapter.

In addition to the functions listed in Mapping Event Indications to Keyboard

Characters in Chapter 13, you can also send the following:

∙Request Status — Requests that the peer Telnet implementation responds with the current status of all Telnet options for this session. You must resume the session to see the Telnet server’s response. The following shows how to send the REQUEST STATUS function:

Local> SEND TELNET REQUEST STATUS

∙Resume Output — If the Internet host appears to be hung after the AO function is sent, you send RESUME OUTPUT to cancel the AO. You only use this command to cancel an AO. The following shows how to send the RESUME OUTPUT function:

Local> SEND TELNET RESUME OUTPUT Local> SEND TELNET SYNCH

∙TEST INTERNET or PING - Sends an ECHO request message to the specified remote Internet host. You use this command to test for a valid connection. This
