LAT CONNECT
LAT CONNECT
Establish a session with a LAT service
The LAT CONNECT command establishes a session with a LAT service. Use the SHOW SERVICES or SHOW NODES commands to obtain a list of LAT service names on the network.
Notes
Some networks may include a LAT service and a Telnet domain with the same name. The LAT CONNECT command selects the LAT service rather than the Telnet domain if you include only the name in the command line. If you enter the LAT CONNECT command without a service name, the terminal server searches for a predefined preferred LAT service. Preferred services are defined by the network manager, but you can check to see if a preferred service has been defined for your port with the SHOWLIST PORTS CHARACTERISTICS command.
LAT services can exist at more than one LAT service node, or terminal server port. The
Some LAT services may require that you supply a password before you can use them. If a LAT service requires a password, the terminal server prompts you for it after you enter the LAT CONNECT command. Check with the network manager if you have questions about the password for a LAT service. See the Examples section of this command description for an example of a LAT service with password protection.
LAT services allow a limited number of connections from terminal server ports. When the number of connections to a service has reached the maximum amount, additional connection requests are placed in a queue if one is enabled. If you request a connection to a service, and the service does not respond, it may already have the maximum number of connections or it may be unavailable.
