Initiating login sessions with remote hosts
The commands in Table 3-10 provide ways to initiate login sessions with remote hosts, either
from the terminal-server command line (called terminal mode) or immediately when a user
logs in (called immediate mode). Configuring terminal mode and immediate mode are
described in more detail in “Terminal-server configuration tasks” on page 5-9 and in the
Network Configuration Guide.
In terminal mode, the MAX establishes a session between the remote user’s PC and the
terminal server. Users can enter terminal-server commands at the command line to initiate host
connections.
In immediate mode, the MAX initiates a connection to a specified host for a dial-in user. The
host requires that the user enter login and password information.
Dialing out through digital modems
The commands summarized in Table 3-11 provide ways for you as a local user to use the MAX
digital modems to dial out from the terminal-server interface. Once you connect to a modem,
you can issue AT commands as if connected locally to the modem’s asynchronous port.
Before issuing AT commands to dial out, you must have digital modems installed on the MAX
and you must enable the Ethernet > Mod Config > TServ Options > Modem Dialout parameter.
