Managing Sessions
This section shows how to initiate and terminate sessions and how to display
session information.
Initiating a Session to a LAT Service
To initiate a session to a LAT service, use the CONNECT LAT command with the
service name. If the default protocol (refer to Specifying the Default Protocol in
this chapter) is set to LAT or ANY, you can ignore the LAT keyword.
Example: Initiating a Session to a LAT Service
The following example shows how to initiate a session with LAT service SALES:
Local> CONNECT LAT SALES
You can use the CONNECT command to connect to any available LAT node or
service at a specific service node and port. For example, if it is important for you
to connect to a particular system associated with a service named
ACCOUNTING, you can specify the service node where that system is attached.
Example: Connecting to a LAT Service on a Specific Node or Server
The following shows how to connect to LAT service SALES at node SERVER2:
Local> CONNECT LAT SALES NODE SERVER2
The following shows how to connect to LAT service SALES at node SERVER2,
port 1:
Local> CONNECT LAT SALES NODE SERVER2 DESTINATION 1
Initiating a Session to an Internet Host
To initiate a session to an Internet host, use the CONNECT TELNET command
with the Internet host name or address. If the default protocol (refer to Specifying
the Default Protocol in this chapter) is set to TELNET, you can ignore the TELNET
keyword. You can connect to the Internet host name or address. The host name
can be either a relative or an absolute domain name.
Example: Initiating a Session with an Internet Host
The following three commands show how to initiate a session with the same host.
The first command uses the relative domain name, SALES; the second command
uses the absolute domain name SALES.MARKETING.FOO.COM; and the third
command uses the Internet address, 129.122.30.11.
