TCP/IP Multishell
________________________________________________________________
TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal 77
This chapter deals with the installation and use of the AXEL multi-shell software
provided with TCP/IP AXEL Terminals.
One of the main features of the AX3000 is multi-connection. An AX3000
supports up to 8 simultaneous telnet connections to one or many hosts.
When sessions are run on the same host, with the same user name
, the AXEL
multi-shell software allows duplicate telnet sessions to be run from the shell,
without the need for multiple logons. This is done by running the AXEL
tcpmsh
program from a UNIX shell. This supports up to 8 telnet sessions.
Operating example: you could run four multi-shell sessions (or “views”) across
each of two telnet connections to different hosts. Function keystroke
combinations can be used to hot-key between different telnet connections
(<Alt><Fx>) and different multi-shell views (<Ctrl><Fx>).
9.1 - INSTALLATION
Insert the floppy diskette provided. Log in as superuser and enter the following
commands:
# cd /tmp <CR>
# tar xvf /dev/fdx <CR>
# cd multishell <CR>
(where fdx is the local name for the floppy disk drive device)
A choice of binary files is provided to match the various host operating
systems:
