Using the CLI Commands
Table C3-37. Commands Used in tn3270 Command Mode
Command Description
close Closes the connection to the remote host and returns
you to the CLI prompt. On the Model 5390 server, this
method of ending a connection is equivalent to using
quit (see Ending a tn3270 Session on page C3-89).
open [host [port]] Opens a connection to host. Specify host as either an
IP address (in dotted-decimal notation) or a host
name. If you use a name, it must be defined in the
Model 5390 host table or available from the
Model 5390 name server. If you do not specify a host,
tn3270 prompts you for it by displaying “to:”. If you
do not specify a port, tn3270 connects to the default
Telnet port (23). Note: If your Model 5390 server is
already connected to a host via tn3270, you cannot
use open to make a tn3270 connection to another host.
To do that, enter the CLI attention string (defined via
the CLI stty command), and then invoke tn3270 again
from the CLI.
quit Closes the connection to the remote host and returns
you to the CLI prompt. On the Model 5390 server,
quit is equivalent to close (see Ending a tn3270
Session on page C3-89).
status Displays the status of the current tn3270 connection.
<CR> Entering a carriage return (and nothing else) at the
tn3270 prompt resumes the suspended session. (You
suspend a session by entering the escape character.)
? [command] Displays information about one or all of the
commands described in this table. If you specify
command, ? displays information about that particular
command. Issued without an argument, ? displays
summaries of all commands.
