Managing Sessions
For ports with session management terminals, the kind of terminal at the port further determines the port’s session limit, where the access server port can support up to eight terminal sessions. However, terminal devices typically support a maximum of less than eight terminal sessions. The documentation for the terminal device should tell you how many terminal sessions the device can have. Set the port session limit to a value in that range.
Displaying Session InformationYou can display a line of information about the current status of a port or ports and a list of the sessions on the port or ports. To display a summary of session information, use the SHOW SESSIONS command. If you wish to display a continuous update of the sessions, use the MONITOR SESSIONS command.
Use the ALL keyword instead of a port number to receive equivalent information about the sessions for all access server ports. For ports set up as a LAT service or Telnet listener, the user name is displayed as “(Remote)”.
Example: SHOW SESSIONS Display
The following example shows how to generate a sessions display for ports 1 and 2. The first line of the sessions display begins with the port number and port user name. On the same line, the display shows the port mode (either Local Mode or Session Mode) and the current session number.
The next few lines in the display consist of
Local> SHOW SESSIONS PORT 1,2
Port 1: Rich Smith | Local Mode | Current Session: Session 2 | |
- Session 1: Queued at 3 | LAT | TIMESHARE | |
- Session 2: Connected | TELNET | DEVELOP | |
- Session 3: Connecting | TELNET | BERGIL | |
- Session 4: Disconnected | LAT | DOCUMENT (PEAR) | |
- Session 5: Disconnecting | LAT | TEST | |
Port 2: card | Session Mode |
