Using the CLI Commands
echo
–echo Controls the echoing of characters as they are typed. Setting
–echo turns off echoing. The default is echo.
flush
character Sets the flush character. When pressed, this character flushes
your output buffer. The default is
CTRL-O
.
forw string Defines a control character sequence as a forward switch
character or string. Entering this character or string reopens
the next available higher numbered session, already
established at your port. Make sure the selected control
character sequence is not one that is used with any host
applications. To clear an existing switch, enter a null string
("").
On virtual ports, the switch is limited to one character; on
non-virtual ports, the switch string can range from 1–16
characters.
iflow
argument Specifies the method the Model 5390 server uses to stop input
from the terminal if the Model 5390 input buffer is about to
overflow. The default is bell. Possible values are:
none Specifies no flow control; characters are lost if the buffers
overflow.
eia Selects hardware flow control and works only if the
control_lines parameter is enabled for hardware flow control
and the terminal is wired appropriately.
xonoff Specifies XON/XOFF flow control. The Model 5390 server
sends XOFF when its buffers are nearly full and sends XON
when the buffer level reaches a safe level. This is known as
in-band flow control.
bell The Model 5390 server rings the terminal bell when its input
buffer is full.
imask7
–imask7 Enables clearing the eighth bit of received characters. This
parameter has no effect on transmitted characters. When the
parameter data_bits is set to 5, 6, or 7, imask7 has no effect at
all. Setting –imask7 does not clear the eighth bit. The default
is –imask7.
