Using the CLI Commands
telnet
The telnet command establishes a telnet connection between two ports on two systems. Table C3-32
describes the arguments for this command; Table C3-33 describes the commands that you can issue
using telnet. The syntax is:
telnet [–lrst] [host [port]]
–x Display hexadecimal codes for all characters. Use this option
with either –k or –v.
port The number of the port to be tapped.
Table C3-32. Arguments for the telnet Command
Argument Description
–l In character-at-a-time mode, if neither side negotiates for echo,
telnet –l directs the Model 5390 server to send a LF character
to the terminal for each CR received.
Do not issue a telnet –l if stty echo is turned on.
–r Requests raw mode. In raw mode, telnet passes data between
the terminal and a TCP connection in line-by-line mode.
–s Requests silent mode. Prevents the Model 5390 server
connection from sending progress or termination messages
unless an unexpected error occurs. Use –s in combination with
–r and –t, or alone; it is most useful in macros to hide the telnet
interface from the user.
–t Opens a transparent TCP connection to the specified port in
which the Telnet protocol is not used. The Telnet escape
character is ignored.
host Opens a connection to that host.
port Allows you to enter a TCP port number on the specified host to
which telnet makes a connection.
