TELNET Auto-Connections
The
5000 Mobile Terminal
allows an automatic connection (
Auto-Connects
) to a host computer after
the terminal is restarted (rebooted). The feature allows a
“captive”
connection that eliminates the
operator having to remember and type an IP number or DNS name. As well, a “captive” connection
provides greater security by only allowing access to the desired IP numbers or DNS names. Several
Auto-Connects can be configured to provide for primary and back up host servers for the terminal.
The Auto-Connect feature is configured in the “tel” task that is accessible in the Console session or the
external console connection. The following command lists the Help facilities available for the Auto-
Connect configuration:
>tel acon
tel>on or en*able: Enable auto-connect
tel>off or dis*able: Disable auto-connect
tel>add or new: Create auto-connect
tel>del*ete or cl*ear: Delete auto-connect: #
tel>list or show: List auto-connects
tel>move: Move auto-connect: from to
tel>for: Define range: [Node1] [NodeN] [Name]
tel>host or IP: Set host address (0==all): IP#
tel>port or base: Set port<->node mapping (0==any): #
tel>max*user or use: Set maximum usage (0==all): #
The first step to using Auto-Connects is to turn on the service:
>tel acon on
tel>Auto-connects enabled
Next, configure and save an Auto-Connect:
>tel acon add host 192.168.0.1
