Configuring a Personal Computer As a Terminal and for Access through a Telnet Listener

Sample Configuration

To configure a PC for access through a Telnet listener only, use the following example and:

∙Substitute MODEM CONTROL for SIGNAL CONTROL if your access server supports modem control.

∙Use LONGBREAK LOGOUT instead of DSRLOGOUT if your access server, device, or device cable does not support the DSR signal.

Switching Modes

With the port set to ACCESS DYNAMIC, the PC can switch back and forth from terminal-emulation mode, which allows the PC to access Access Server services on the LAT network, and file transfer mode, which allows the PC to transfer files with another computer as a transfer partner. Refer to Setting User Priority for Devices Using Dynamic Access in this chapter for further information on switching between terminal-emulation mode and file transfer mode.

Configuring Personal Computer Access to a Printer

Personal computers configured as a terminal can connect to a printer offered as a resource when a user enters a CONNECT command. However, for the user to access the printer, the PC must have an applications program capable of sending files to the printer. The person in charge of the PC must supply the appropriate applications program. The access server does not queue connection requests to a printer.
