Configuring terminal mode
When a user communicates with the terminal server itself (rather than with a host, in
immediate mode), the MAX unit establishes a session between the remote user’s PC and the
terminal server. The following parameters in Ethernet > Mod Config > TServ Options affect
the session the unit establishes and what commands are available to the user:
Parameter Description
Silent Whether or not status messages appear while the MAX tries to
establish the connection.
Clr Scrn
Clearing of the MAX screen when it establishes a connection.
Passwd
A terminal-mode password of up to 15 characters. This is the
password terminal-server users are prompted for when establishing a
connection to the terminal server itself.

different banner you have configured) when the MAX establishes the
terminal-server session.
