TERMINAL SERVERS
several configuration commands are available in order to enhance control
over LAT functionality.
The following list shows some of these commands. A complete list can be
found in
Chapters 6, 7,
and
8
.
• DEFINE SERVER NAME—This allows you to change the Terminal Server
default name which is CS_xxxxxxxxxxxx, where the 12 xs are the
hexadecimal representation of the Terminal Server Ethernet MAC
address. This value may be changed to facilitate the definition of the
server in other systems (such as when defining printers for VMS hosts).
• DEFINE SERVER CIRCUIT TIME nnn—This defines the time interval
between consecutive messages sent by the Terminal Server to the LAT
services. The range allowed is between thirty to two hundred milliseconds.
The default is 80 milliseconds.
• DEFINE SERVER KEEPALIVE TIMER nnn—This defines the interval
between consecutive messages sent for maintaining a LAT session—when
there is no data to transmit. The allowed range is 10 to 180 seconds. The
default is 20 seconds. Modifying this value may effect the amount of traffic
on the local network.
4.10 Advanced Telnet Definitions
The Terminal Server has a group of commands relating to a specific port
as a TELNET CLIENT and another for a port as a TELNET SERVER. It is
important to distinguish between the two:
• The SET PORT TELNET CLIENT commands change the Telnet client
characteristics for the specified port as these commands relate to new
Telnet connections established from the specified port.
• The SET PORT TELNET SERVER commands change the Telnet server
characteristics for the specified port as these commands relate to new
Telnet connections established to the specified port.
A TCP/IP host can translate data transferred during Telnet in several ways
and some of the Telnet protocol parameters can be changed using the Telnet
Option Negotiation procedure in order to facilitate this.
