Terminal Server Commands

Viewing and Changing Information in the Terminal Server Databases

The terminal server maintains two files of data, or databases, that contain information about the terminal server and the devices you can reach on the network. One is the operational database and other is the permanent database. Information in the operational database is temporary, and remains current only until you log out of your terminal server port. While it is current, it overrides the information in the permanent database. You change information in the operation database with SET commands. Information in the permanent database is constant, and remains constant unless you or the network manager change it with a DEFINE command and you log out of your port, or the network manager initializes the terminal server.

Using the SHOWLIST Commands

The SHOW commands display information in the terminal server's operational database. The LIST commands display information in the terminal server's permanent database. Information in the SHOW displays reflect the most current information about your port and the destinations you can reach on the LAN.

Using UNIX Aliases for Terminal Server Commands

If you are accustomed to the UNIX operating system, the Model 3395/3395A Terminal Server offers several UNIX equivalents of frequently used Model 3395/3395A commands. You can enter these equivalents, or aliases, at the TS3395> prompt just as you would enter the Model 3395/3395A commands to produce the same results. Table 3-1 shows the UNIX aliases for Model 3395/3395A commands.
