Configuring Individual Telnet Client Session Characteristics
Example: Configuring SWITCH CHARACTER
The following example shows how to disable the SWITCH CHARACTERs on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT SWITCH CHARACTER DISABLED
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 LIMITED VIEW ENABLED
The limited view characteristic does not apply when you set privileges on the port.
Specifying a Preferred Terminal Type
The TERMINAL characteristic allows the user to specify a terminal type to be sent to
the Telnet host during session startup. The available types are ANSI, UNKNOWN, and
VT10 through VT999. This value is used as a starting point for terminal type
subnegotiation between the access server and the host. The actual terminal type, as
displayed by the SHOW PORT SESSION STATUS command, may be different if the
Telnet host can not support the specified type. The order of negotiation is VTXXX,
followed by ANSI, followed by UNKNOWN. For example, if the TERMINAL
characteristic is set to VT321, the access server will negotiate for the following
terminal types in the order listed:
DEC-VT32, VT321, DEC-VT300, VT300, DEC-VT200, VT200, DEC-VT100,
VT100, ANSI, UNKNOWN
Example: Specifying Terminal Type
The following example shows the command for defining a terminal type for a VT321:
Local > CHANGE PORT TELENET CLIENT TERMINAL VT321
