Figure 7-8: Telnet connection

In a Telnet connection, these special keys include the following commands (can be used in remote systems that support them):

Interrupt — For interrupting the current pro- cess on the remote computer.

Skip command output — To prevent com- mand output from being displayed on the screen.

Are you there? — For enquiring whether the remote system is still running (if the execu- tion of a task seems to take too long).

The selected special character is entered to the left of the cursor by pressing Insert. The inserted special characters send a control signal to the remote computer – they are not displayed on the screen.

Press Zoom in if the whole emulated screen and, consequently, character size is too small. The Zoom out command returns the unzoomed view. When the view is being zoomed, the scroll keys can be used to switch between the upper and lower parts of the terminal screen.

Press Texts to activate the text transfer com- mands (see "Define Telnet connections: Text transfers" on page 7-17).

Press Hang up to close the connection to the host, end the data call and return to the Telnet application main view.

The scroll up/down buttons can be used for scrolling the view. Scrolling does not affect the

cursor position. Pressing any keyboard key re- turns the view to the cursor position.

Text transfers

The text transfer function enables you to down- load (capture) or upload (send) texts between a host computer and the communicator. This fea- ture can be used, to send pre-written e-mail messages to the company mainframe computer, or copy received e-mail and read it later off line.

Once you have connected to the host, press Texts in the Telnet or Terminal main view to access the Text transfer view.

To send text to the host computer:

1Press Send text.

2Open one of the folders shown and select the document you want to send and press Send.

While the text is being uploaded, the keyboard is inactive.

To copy text from the host computer:

1Prepare the text reading application on the host.

2Press Capture text. All interaction with the host will be recorded in a file in the Down- loaded files folder. Control characters, except line changes, will not be stored.

3Press Stop capture to end the text capture process.

Press Back to return to the previous set of commands.
