Configuring Telnet Server Session Characteristics

Configuring Telnet Server Session Characteristics

Introduction

The following sections describe how to configure the various Telnet server session characteristics.

Mapping Event Indications to Keyboard Characters

You can map the event indications to keyboard characters. The factory-set default for each indication is that no character is sent to the device or application on the access server port set up as a Telnet server port.

In most cases, you would map an event indication to a character in order for the access server to forward that event indication to the application or device on the access server port. The mapped character is defined by the device or application. For example, if an application defines IP as Ctrl/G, then you need to map IP to Ctrl/G:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET SERVER IP ^G
