To see the current list of Auto-Connects, use the following command:
>tel acon list
tel>Auto-connects are enabled
tel>1) Auto-connect: IP: 192.168.0.1 Nodes: Any
Auto-Connects can be added and deleted as the following example illustrates:
>tel acon add host 192.168.0.99
tel>Auto-connect: IP: 192.168.0.99 Nodes: Any
>tel acon list
tel>Auto-connects are enabled
tel>1) Auto-connect: IP: 192.168.0.1 Nodes: Any
tel>2) Auto-connect: IP: 192.168.0.99 Nodes: Any
>tel acon del 1

Remember to save your Auto-Connect list after you make changes!
Several other commands are related to the Auto-Connect facility. The first is
Local Prompt
control:
>tel loc
tel>Local prompts are currently enabled
>tel loc off
tel>Local prompts are currently disabled
>tel loc on
tel>Local prompts are currently enabled
If Local Prompts are turned off, the “
Telnet
>” prompt is never visible on the terminal display, even if
no successful Auto-Connect was made. This provides extra security by not providing any local Telnet
capability to the operator at all.
?
With Local Prompts disabled, the terminal will continue to cycle through the Auto-
Connect list until a successful Auto-Connect is made.
?
The terminal will not be allowed to access other host computers if the host computers in
the Auto-Connect list are not available. Local Prompts must be re-enabled to access
other host computers that are not contained in the Auto-Connect list.

Remember to save your Local Prompt configuration after you make changes!
