Configuring and Managing Telnet Servers
Specifying Newline Characteristics
The NEWLINE characteristics allow the person managing the access server to
define a new line as a 1- or 2-character sequence. In this case, TERMINAL
specifies the user at the remote end of the connection (Telnet client) and HOST
specifies the device connected to the access server (Telnet server).
• NEWLINE FROM TERMINAL — When entered by the remote user, the
character sequence is interpreted as a new line. The factory-set default is CR.
The following shows how to change the character sequence to @#:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET SERVER NEWLINE FROM TERMINAL @#
• NEWLINE TO TERMINAL — The character sequence is sent to the user’s
terminal whenever a NEWLINE FROM HOST sequence is received from the
internet host. 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 by the remote user, the character
sequence is sent to the internet host. The factory-set default is CRLF.
• Note that the Telnet protocol specifies that the CRLF sequence should be sent.
Specifying Character Size
The CHARACTER SIZE characteristic allows you to select the character size, 7- or
8-bit, that is used during a session. In addition, the character size can be specified
in the transmit direction (server to Telnet client), receive direction (Telnet client to
server), or both directions.
Example: Setting CHARACTER SIZE
The following example shows how to set CHARACTER SIZE to 7 in both
directions for port 5:
Local> CHANGE PORT 5 TELNET SERVER CHARACTER 7
