Command descriptions
There are a large number of commands available for the Terminal Server, these are detailed
below:
arp
Syntax: arp [flush]
Description: This command by itself will show the IOLANs arp table (IP address, Ethernet address, flags).
In the admin mode, using arp flush will clear all the entries in the arp table. This is used to
clear arp entries when you want to change the Ethernet address of a device.
clear
Syntax: clear
Description: This command clears the screen.
connect
Syntax: connect [host] [port]
Description: This makes a telnet or rlogin connection to the indicated host or IP address. If the user omits
the host/IP address then the Terminal Server asks for it as shown below. The command will
use telnet or rlogin depending on what is set in the Options section of the Port Menu.
Example:
local> connect
Host/IP Address> microart
TCP Port> 23
Note
If the user presses the return at the port prompt, the unit defaults to port 23 which is the
standard telnet port (or 513, the standard rlogin port). This option is not available when using
remote administration or if the port secure mode is WAN.
