reverse Telnet connections. The default is

Dial
Determines how a modem will work on the line. If your user is remote and
will be dialing in via modem or ISDN TA, set this parameter to
In
; if the
Terminal Server is being used as a router, set this parameter to either
In
,
Out , or Both , depending on which end of the link your Terminal Server is
situated and how you want to initiate the communication.
Dial Timeout
The number of seconds the Terminal Server will wait to establish a
connection to a remote modem. The default value is
45
seconds.
Dial Retry
The number of times the Terminal Server will attempt to establish a
connection with a remote modem. The default value is
2 .
Modem
The name of the predefined modem that is used on this line.
Phone
The phone number to use when
Dial
is set to
Out
.
Initial Mode
Specifies the initial interface a user navigates when logging into the line;
either the
Menu or a prompt for the CLI . The default is CLI .
Break
Specifies how a break is interpreted:
z None —The Terminal Server ignores the break key completely and it is
not passed through to the host. This is the default setting.
z
Local —The Terminal Server deals with the break locally. If the user is
in a session, the break key has the same effect as a hot key.
z Remote —When the break key is pressed, the Terminal Server
translates this into a telnet break signal which it sends to the host
machine.
z Brkintr —On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a break
received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If the
client wishes to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example,
when the stty options
-ignbrk
and
brkintr
are set).
