Configuring and Managing Interactive Devices
Enabling the BINARY characteristic does some, but not all, of what a user might
require to send and receive BINARY files over the Telnet connection. For BINARY
transfers, you should use the BINARY profile instead of the BINARY
characteristic.
The following example shows how to disable the BINARY characteristic:
Example: Disabling BINARY Characteristics
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT BINARY DISABLE
Specifying CHARACTER SIZE
The CHARACTER SIZE characteristic allows the user to select the character size,
7- or 8-bit, that is used during a session with an Internet host. In addition, the
character size can be specified in the transmit direction, receive direction, or both
directions.
Example: Setting CHARACTER SIZE
The following example shows how to set CHARACTER SIZE to 7-bit in both
directions for port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT CHARACTER SIZE 7
Example: Setting CHARACTER SIZE for a Specific Direction
The following example shows how to set CHARACTER SIZE to 7 in the transmit
direction. To set the character size in the receive direction, use RECEIVE instead
of TRANSMIT.
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT TRANSMIT CHARACTER SIZE 7
Mapping Keyboard Characters to Telnet Functions
You can assign keyboard characters to various Telnet functions. The SIGNAL
REQUEST characteristic can enable or disable all these functions. The factory-set
default is ENABLED.
Example: Disabling SIGNAL REQUEST

Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT SIGNAL REQUEST DISABLED
