Keys
This section defines the various accelerator keys that IOLAN+ responds to. This section is
optionally used. The parameters are as follows:
Option Description
Hot This is the key used to escape from a host connection back to the IOLAN+
Connection Menu. For instance, if you are in a login shell on a host
machine, pressing the hot-key takes you back to IOLAN+. The default is
^].
Intr This is a user-definable interrupt key. When selected IOLAN+ generates a
telnet ‘interrupt process’ signal to the remote host. The default is ^C.
Quit This field defines the character that generates a telnet BREAK across the
network. Default is ^@.
Del This field defines the character that generates a telnet erase character
signal across the network.
In addition, this key can be used to ‘reprogram’ the interpretation of the
<left-arrow> key when operating in the menu mode. If the users terminal
generates the same key sequence for <Left-Arrow> and <Backspace>,
then setting this key to Ctrl-H (^H), causes the <Left-arrow> and
<Backspace> keys to be treated as ‘delete the last character typed in’.
Default is ^@.
Kill This field defines the character that generates a telnet erase line signal
across the network. Default is ^U.
Sess This key allows users to switch directly from one session to another
without going back through the server menus. This key should be followed
immediately by the session number the user wishes to go to. For
example, if this key is set to Ctrl-F and you want to switch to session 2,
press Ctrl-F2. The default value is ^@.
Echo If this key is given a value then any active telnet session on that port can
toggle between local and remote character echoing done by IOLAN+ or
by the remote host. Default is ^@.
Note
Each of the keys can be set as a single character, or as a control character. To set the
key as a control character the symbol ‘^’ should be used followed by the relevant key.
Alphabetic characters should be specified in upper case. To disable a particular key
the user should enter ^@ in the field.
