When you enter a SHOW PORT CHARACTERISTICS command, the -s and +s
symbols indicate if AUTOSYNCH is disabled or enabled for a given character.
Specifying Telnet Client Newline
The NEWLINE characteristics allow the user to define a 1- or 2-character
sequence that will be interpreted as a new line. This characteristic is useful for
devices that generate or recognize sequences for a new line other than CRLF or
CR. There are four different directions as follows. In this case, terminal specifies
the user at the access server and host specifies the Telnet server at the remote end
of the connection.
• NEWLINE FROM TERMINAL — When entered, the character sequence is
interpreted as a new line. The factory-set default is <CR>.
• NEWLINE TO TERMINAL — When entered, the character sequence is sent to
the user’s terminal whenever a NEWLINE FROM HOST sequence is received.
The factory-set default is <CRLF>.
• NEWLINE FROM HOST — When received from the Internet host, the
character sequence is interpreted as a new line. The factory-set default is
<CRLF>. Note that the Telnet protocol specifies that the CRLF sequence should
be sent.
• NEWLINE TO HOST — When entered, the character sequence is sent to the
Internet host whenever a NEWLINE FROM TERMINAL sequence is received.
The factory-set default is <CRLF>. Note that the Telnet protocol specifies that
the CRLF sequence should be sent.
You can define NONE if you do not want a character to be defined.
Example: Specifying Telnet Client NEWLINE
The following example shows how to define no character for NEWLINE TO
TERMINAL and “AB” as a character string for Newline To Terminal on port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT NEWLINE TO TERMINAL NONE
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET CLIENT NEWLINE TO TERMINAL AB
Specifying FLOW CONTROL
The FLOW CONTROL characteristic enables or disables the XON/XOFF FLOW
CONTROL characters for any Telnet client session created at the port.
