Configuring a Personal Computer As a Terminal and for
Access through a Telnet Listener
Sample Configuration
To configure a PC for access through a Telnet listener only, use the following example
and:
• Substitute MODEM CONTROL for SIGNAL CONTROL if your access server
supports modem control.
• Use LONGBREAK LOGOUT instead of DSRLOGOUT if your access server,
device, or device cable does not support the DSR signal.

Switching Modes
With the port set to ACCESS DYNAMIC, the PC can switch back and forth from
terminal-emulation mode, which allows the PC to access Access Server services on the
LAT network, and file transfer mode, which allows the PC to transfer files with
another computer as a transfer partner. Refer to Setting User Priority for Devices Using
Dynamic Access in this chapter for further information on switching between
terminal-emulation mode and file transfer mode.
Configuring Personal Computer Access to a Printer
Personal computers configured as a terminal can connect to a printer offered as a
resource when a user enters a CONNECT command. However, for the user to access
the printer, the PC must have an applications program capable of sending files to the
printer. The person in charge of the PC must supply the appropriate applications
program. The access server does not queue connection requests to a printer.
