Configuring Individual Telnet Client Session Characteristics
11-24 Configuring and Managing Interactive Devices
Specifying AUTOFLUSH
The AUTOFLUSH characteristic automatically invokes the AO function whenever
you enter the IP, SYNCH, AYT, EOR, or BRK characters. AUTOFLUSH aborts all
output on its way to the user’s terminal
By default, AUTOFLUSH is enabled for IP, and is disabled for SYNCH and AYT.
Example: Disabling AUTOFLUSH
The following example shows how to disable AUTOFLUSH for the IP character on
port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT AUTOFLUSH IP DISABLED
When you enter a SHOW PORT CHARACTERISTICS command, the -f and +f
symbols indicate if AUTOFLUSH is disabled or enabled for a given character.
Specifying AUTOSYNCH
The AUTOSYNCH characteristic automatically invokes SYNCH function whenever
you enter the IP, AO, or AYT characters. (Refer to Mapping Keyboard Characters to
Telnet Functions in this chapter.) AUTOSYNCH causes all output on it way to the
remote process to be dropped. This function allows IP, AO, or AYT to have a more
immediate effect.
By default, AUTOSYNCH is enabled for IP, and disabled for AO and AYT.
Example: Specifying AUTOSYNCH
The following example shows how to disable AUTOSYNCH for IP and enable
AUTOSYNCH for AO on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT AUTOSYNCH IP DISABLED
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT AUTOSYNCH AO ENABLED
When you enter a SHOW PORT CHARACTERISTICS command, the -s and +s
symbols indicate if AUTOSYNCH is disabled or enabled for a given character.
Specifying Telnet Client Newline
The NEWLINE characteristics allow the user to define a 1- or 2-character sequence
that will be interpreted as a new line. This characteristic is useful for devices that
generate or recognize sequences for a new line other than CRLF or CR. There are four
different directions as follows. In this case, terminal specifies the user at the access
server and host specifies the Telnet server at the remote end of the connection.
• NEWLINE FROM TERMINAL — When entered, the character sequence is
interpreted as a new line. The factory-set default is <CR>.
