How to close the session from ts_menu (from a telnet session to your unit)
You have to be sure that a different escape character is used for exiting your telnet session;
otherwise, if you were to exit from the session created through the ts_menu, you will close
your entire telnet session to your unit. To do this, when you first telnet to your unit, use the
“-e” option. So for example, to set Ctrl-? as the escape character, type:
telnet -e ^? 192.168.160.10
To exit from the session created through the ts_menu, just follow Step 1 from above. To exit
from the entire telnet session to your unit, type the escape character you had set.
Accessing Serial Ports using the Web Interface
From the Web, there's a “Connect to Serial Port” option that has to be selected. A serial port
is chosen and a Java window will open on the user's screen. For a telnet session, just log in
and provide the password (whenever necessary). For ssh, enter
<username>:<TCP port number or alias for the server>
as login name and provide the password (whenever necessary). To exit the session, select
“Disconnect” from the Java window. See the
Step-by-Step Process
section of
Appendix I - Con-
nect to Serial Ports from Web
for more details.
