Using the terminal server interface
This section describes how to use the administrative commands that are available
in the terminal server command-line interface.
Invoking and quitting the terminal server interface
To invoke the terminal server command-line interface, you must have
administrative privileges. See “Activating administrative privileges” on page 8-3.
To open the command-line:
1
Open the Sys Diag > Term Serv menu and press Enter or, from the DO
Command menu, select E=Termsrv.
The command-line prompt will be displayed at the bottom of the VT100
window:
ascend%
2
To close the command-line, use the Quit command at the prompt.
For example:
ascend% quit
The command-line interface closes and the cursor is returned to the VT100
menus.
Note:
You could also use the Hangup or Local command to end the session.
When a dial-in user enters the Local command, it begins a Telnet session to the
Pipeline.
