Configuring Individual Telnet Client Session
Characteristics
Modifying Telnet Session Characteristics
You can modify the Telnet client session characteristics in two ways: at the port
level or for the individual session using the SET SESSION command. Modifying
the characteristics at the port level enables those values for Telnet client sessions
at that port when sessions are created. Also, you can save the characteristics in the
permanent database. The values you set with the SET SESSION command are lost
once you log out of the session.
Specifying ECHO Characteristics
The user can specify whether characters entered at the port device are echoed at
the access server (LOCAL) or at the remote Internet host (REMOTE). The factory-
set default is REMOTE. The Example: Specifying ECHO Characteristics shows
how to set ECHO CONTROL to LOCAL on port 5.
Example: Specifying ECHO Characteristics
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT ECHO LOCAL
You can suppress local echoing by either selecting ECHO LOCAL and then
selecting the BINARY profile or by selecting ECHO LOCAL and then using the
toggle ECHO character (See Specifying ECHO Characteristics in this chapter).
Specifying the BINARY Characteristic
The BINARY characteristic allows the user to enable BINARY communication in
either one or both directions (to or from the Internet host). The TRANSMIT
characteristic enables BINARY communication in the access server to the Internet
host direction. The RECEIVE characteristic enables BINARY communication in
the Internet host to the access server direction. The DUPLEX characteristic
enables BINARY communication in both directions.
The following example shows how to enable BINARY communication in the
transmit direction on port 5:
