Logging into a Host with telnet

Checking Your Remote Terminal Conﬁguration

Checking Your Remote Terminal

Conﬁguration

After you have connected to the remote host, if you are using an HP

terminal or an HP terminal emulator (like a terminal window in HP

VUE), follow this procedure to check your terminal settings on the

remote host.

1. Issue the following command at the remote host’s command prompt

to make sure your terminal type is set to hp:

echo $TERM

2. If your terminal type is not set to hp, issue the following command:

eval ‘tset -s hp‘

Be sure to use single backquotes, not regular single quote marks.

3. Issue the following command at the remote host’s command prompt

to check your terminal settings:

stty

You should have the following terminal settings (among others):

intr = ˆC

erase = ˆH

kill = ˆU

4. If your terminal settings are not correct, issue the following command

to set them:

stty intr \ˆC erase \ˆH kill \ˆU

Type man 1 stty or man 1 tset for more information.
