6.5 Network Command
B C D E
The NETWORK command will either display the network settings of the installed network cards or change those settings depending on which command qualifier is used
When used with the /ALL qualifier, the NETWORK command will allow the system administrator to change the network parameters for all the card slots in order. The sys admin will be prompted to enter the IP address, subnet mask, default gateway, secondary route, and bootp settings for each card slot. If ENTER is pressed at the prompt, the value displayed in the prompt will be used. After entering the parameters for each slot, the sys admin will be asked if the new parameters should be used. If NO is entered or just ENTER is pressed, then the previously entered changes will be discarded and the system will move on to the next slot’s parameters. If YES is entered, then the slot’s network parameters will update in control card memory and the control card will send the new parameters immediately to the card in that slot. If the card is a network card, it will immediately acquire the new network parameters and disconnect all telnet sessions to that card. If a terminal card is in the slot, or if the slot is empty, the network parameter update is refused, but the network parameters for that slot will be saved to control card memory

7.9 Listening to a Server Session
To monitor another users server session, the user must type LISTEN followed by the device port name or number, or select LISTEN TO SERVER and a device port from the pull-down menu. There must be a connection between a user and a device port for another user to be able to listen to the connection. Also, the user must have permission to listen to the server as defined by the system administrator in their user profile. Any user that can log in and has listen permission for a device port may listen to a session on that device port. If the user does not have permission to listen to a server, the ConsoleServer 3200 will display the message NO ACCESS TO DEVICE CHANNEL
