You will know this if a menu appears on your screen rather than the TS3395> prompt when you log on to the terminal server port. You see a menu similar to the one in Figure

When you make the selection, the terminal server executes the appropriate command. When you suspend a session, or execute a terminal server command, the menu does not reappear on your screen until you press the <Return> key.
If the TYPE characteristic at your port is set to ANSI, you can also use the arrow keys to position the cursor on the option you want, and then press the <Return> key. The SHOW PORT CHARACTERISTIC display includes the port's TYPE characteristic.
