termtype

line-mode
When On, keyboard input is not sent to the remote host until Enter is pressed,
otherwise input is sent every time a key is pressed. Default is
Off.
map-cr-crlf
Maps carriage returns (CR) to carriage return line feed (CRLF). The default value is
Off.
local-echo
Toggles between local echo of entered characters and suppressing local echo. Local
echo is used for normal processing, while suppressing the echo is convenient for
entering text that should not be displayed on the screen, such as passwords. This
parameter can only be used when
Line Mode is On. Default is Off.
echo
Defines the echo character. When Line Mode is On, typing the echo character echoes
the text locally and sends only completed lines to the host. This value is in hexadecimal
with a default value of
5 (ASCII value ^E).
eof
Defines the end-of-file character. When Line Mode is On, entering the eof character as
the first character on a line sends the character to the remote host. This value is in
hexadecimal with a default value of
4 (ASCII value ^D).
erase
Defines the erase character. When Line Mode is Off, typing the erase character erases
one character. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of 8 (ASCII value ^H).
intr
Defines the interrupt character. Typing the interrupt character interrupts the current
process. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of
3 (ASCII value ^C).
quit
Defines the quit character. Typing the quit character closes and exits the current telnet
session. This value is in hexadecimal with a default value of
1c (ASCII value FS).
