Sending Telnet Functions to a Remote Telnet Server

To send a Telnet function such as AO, AYT, BRK, EOR, or SYNCH, you use the

SEND TELNET command on a current session with a Telnet server. For example,

the following command sends the Telnet abort output (AO) command:

Local> SEND TELNET AO

You can map Telnet functions to keyboard characters as described in Mapping

Keyboard Characters to Telnet Functions. For a complete list of Telnet commands,

refer to Telnet Keymapping Functions in this chapter.

In addition to the functions listed in Mapping Event Indications to Keyboard

Characters in Chapter 13, you can also send the following:

• Request Status — Requests that the peer Telnet implementation responds with

the current status of all Telnet options for this session. You must resume the

session to see the Telnet server’s response. The following shows how to send

the REQUEST STATUS function:

Local> SEND TELNET REQUEST STATUS

• Resume Output — If the Internet host appears to be hung after the AO function

is sent, you send RESUME OUTPUT to cancel the AO. You only use this

command to cancel an AO. The following shows how to send the RESUME

OUTPUT function:

Local> SEND TELNET RESUME OUTPUT

Local> SEND TELNET SYNCH
