Switch
between
sessions
Betty’s session with Corporate is session #1, and her session
with Engineering is session #2. From her Engineering session,
she can switch to Corporate by typing <Ctrl-]>
1
(the telnet
escape character <Ctrl-]> followed by the number 1).
From her session on Corporate, she can switch to the
Engineering session by typing <Ctrl-]>
2
, or switch back and
forth between the two sessions by pressing <Ctrl-]> ].
From either session, Betty can go back to the PortServer’s
command shell by typing the Telnet Escape sequence <Ctrl ]>
and then pressing Return. Once in the PortServer’s command
shell, Betty can start other sessions (up to nine), or perform
other operations. From the command shell, she can go to either
session #1 (Corporate) or session #2 (Engineering) by typing
the numbers 1 or 2 respectively as the first character on a line.
Log out of
Corporate
Betty now switches back to her Corporate session (using one of
the methods just described), and logs out of that session in the
way required by the host.
She then closes the telnet session and returns to the PortServer
command shell with the command:
close
Log out of
Engineering
In the same manner. Betty switches to the Engineering session,
(which is now session #1 by virtue of the original Corporate
session #1 being closed), logs out and closes the telnet session.
Log out of
PortServer
Back at the PortServer command shell, Betty exits her session
with:
exit
Note that the command
quit
works the same as
exit
. The
exit
(or
quit
) command closes all active telnet or rlogin
sessions before exiting.
More information about multiple sessions and configuring
Multiscreens is in the appendix Multiple Sessions on page
98.
