Multisessions

Backward Switch

The backward switch character reopens the next lower-numbered session that does not already appear in a window. The session you reopen with the backward switch character appears in the window where you entered it. For example, a port could have four active sessions, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. Session 2 appears in the top window, and session 3 appears in the bottom window. If you enter the backward switch character at session 3, the terminal server reopens session 1 in the bottom window. It does not reopen session 2 because this session already appears in the top window.

The terminal server records session numbers sequentially in a rotating list, just as it does at regular terminals. If you enter the backward switch character at the lowest-numbered session, the terminal server reopens the next highest-numbered session that is not being displayed.

Forward Switch

The forward switch character reopens the next higher-numbered session that does not already appear in a window. The session you reopen with the forward switch character will appear in the window where you entered the command. For example, a port could have four active sessions, numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4. Session 3 appears in the top window, and session 2 appears in the bottom window. If you enter the forward switch character at session 2, the terminal server reopens session 4 in the bottom window. It will not reopen session 3 because this session already appears in the top window.

The terminal server records session numbers sequentially in a rotating list, just as it does at regular terminals. If you enter the forward switch character from the highest-numbered session, the terminal server will reopen the lowest-numbered session that is not being displayed.
