B: Environment Strings

B.1 Usage

An environment string is a sequence of key letters, sometimes prefixed by a plus (+) or minus (-). Environment strings can be used with Change Dedicated, Change Preferred, Hostlist, LAT, and Telnet to configure connections. The keys are added after the hostname (if one is given) and a colon.

Key letters are not case-sensitive, and no white space is allowed in the environment string. In addition, commands that oppose previously-configured settings will overwrite the previous setting, even if they appear on the same command line.

Note: Because of the syntax difference between the commands for the MSS4 and other MSS models, you should read the Command Reference chapter carefully before entering a command. The examples given in the following sections may not apply to your MSS model.

B.1.1 Multiple Strings

More than one string can be entered as part of a single command. Multiple strings do not need to be separated from each other. For example, you can enter a command that specifies both the desired port number and that the connection should be encrypted.

B.2 Available Strings

Note: In most applications, environment strings are not necessary.

Environment keys must be separated from the hostname, if one is specified, by a colon. Read the following sections carefully for more details on proper usage of each key.
