TERMINAL SERVERS

Terminal Server is important to comprehend and a correct grasp of these
concepts will allow trouble-free and effortless operations.

Certain control characters allow the user to circulate between sessions

and to control each one in turn. These include controls for breaking out 
of sessions, terminating sessions, and switching between active sessions.

5.1 Terminal Sessions

S

TARTING A

S

ESSION

The CONNECT command is used to connect to remote hosts. For LAT
services, issue the CONNECT

service_name

command. For Telnet hosts, the

equivalent would be CONNECT TELNET

host_name

, or even TELNET

host_name

. An explicit IP number can be substituted for the 

host_name

and an

explicit port number can also be added. For example, to connect to port 2005
of host 111.122.133.144.

Local>TELNET 111.122.133.144.2005

ESSIONS

The <break> key switches the user back to 

local

mode while keeping any

current sessions alive in the background.

Once in local mode, you can use the FORWARDS and BACKWARDS

commands to step through active sessions. Specific keys can be assigned as
shortcuts to these commands. The first session initiated by the user is at the
start of the session list. The SHOW SESSIONS command displays a list of the
open sessions. FORWARDS brings the most recent session forward. The list is
cyclic. Note that up to 4 active sessions can be maintained by each port of the
Terminal Server.

NOTE

Do not assign the <break>, <forwards>, and <backwards> keys to
common keys that are used in normal terminal operations to prevent
them from being unintentionally activated.
