<TCP_port>

The port number the target host is listening on for incoming connections. The default for Telnet is port number 23.

termtype

Type of terminal attached to this line; for example, ANSI or WYSE60.

line-mode

When On, keyboard input is not sent to the remote host until Enter is pressed, otherwise input is sent every time a key is pressed. Default is Off.

map-cr-crlf

Maps carriage returns (CR) to carriage return line feed (CRLF). The default value is

Off.

local-echo

Local echo is used for normal processing, while suppressing the echo is convenient for entering text that should not be displayed on the screen, such as passwords. This parameter can only be used when Line Mode is On. Default is Off.

echo

Defines the echo character. When Line Mode is On, typing the echo character echoes the text locally and sends only completed lines to the host. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of 5 (ASCII value ^E).

eof

erase

Defines the erase character. When Line Mode is Off, typing the erase character erases one character. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of 8 (ASCII value ^H).

intr

Defines the interrupt character. Typing the interrupt character interrupts the current process. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of 3 (ASCII value ^C).
