SET SESSION

SET SESSION

Change the data transparency mode of the current session

The SET SESSION command changes the way a port interprets control characters during a session.

Notes

The terminal server supports four data transparency modes: interactive, passall, pasthru, and transparent. The SHOW SESSIONS display includes the data transparency mode of current sessions in the Service Mode field. Interactive mode is the typical mode for most sessions. If you want to transfer files between a PC and a host, however, you need to set the transparency mode at your port to PASSALL. See Chapter 6 for more information about PC file transfers.

Where	Means
INTERACTIVE	Enable all control characters. These include session switching characters,
	Telnet session management characters, terminal server messages, and
	XONOFF flow control characters. INTERACTIVE is the typical setting for
	most sessions.
PASSALL	Disable all control characters. When the data transparency of a session is set
	to PASSALL, control characters from the terminal server are sent to the host
	or other device as data, rather than control signals. This mode is useful for
	transferring data files that contain control characters, such as binary program
	files, without interference from the terminal server.
PASTHRU	Disable all control characters except the XONOFF flow control characters.
	This mode is useful for transferring ASCII files, such as a file that you want
	to print on a printer connected to another terminal server.
TRANSPARENT	Disable all session switching characters, Telnet session management
	characters, and XONOFF flow control characters. During a Telnet session,
	ignore Telnet option messages received from a remotely initiated session and
	do not transmit any Telnet option messages from a locally initiated session.
	During a LAT session, signal the LAT service that the terminal server is set
	to PASSALL, but behave locally as if the terminal server is set to
	PASTHRU.
Example
	This command sets the data transparency mode of the port to PASSALL.
