Specifying Newline Characteristics

The NEWLINE characteristics allow the person managing the access server to define a new line as a 1- or 2-character sequence. In this case, TERMINAL specifies the user at the remote end of the connection (Telnet client) and HOST specifies the device connected to the access server (Telnet server).

NEWLINE FROM TERMINAL — When entered by the remote user, the character sequence is interpreted as a new line. The factory-set default is CR. The following shows how to change the character sequence to @#:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET SERVER NEWLINE FROM TERMINAL @#

NEWLINE TO TERMINAL — The character sequence is sent to the user’s terminal whenever a NEWLINE FROM HOST sequence is received from the internet host. The factory-set default is CRLF.

NEWLINE FROM HOST — When received from the internet host, the character sequence is interpreted as a new line. The factory-set default is CRLF. Note that the Telnet protocol specifies that the CRLF sequence should be sent.

NEWLINE TO HOST — When entered by the remote user, the character sequence is sent to the internet host. The factory-set default is CRLF. Note that the Telnet protocol specifies that the CRLF sequence should be sent.

Specifying Character Size

The CHARACTER SIZE characteristic allows you to select the character size, 7- or 8- bit, that is used during a session. In addition, the character size can be specified in the transmit direction (server to Telnet client), receive direction (Telnet client to server), or both directions.

Example: Setting CHARACTER SIZE

The following example shows how to set CHARACTER SIZE to 7 in both directions for port 5:

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET SERVER CHARACTER 7
