User Manual

Command Reference IP/Network Commands
12-19
A colon and session environment string can be added to the connect request (see Setting Session
Characteristics on page 8-6). A colon and a port number can be added to the hostname for TCP/Telnet/
Rlogin sessions; in this case, the specified port number will be used for the connection. There should be no
spaces between the hostname, colon, and port number or environment string.
Parameters SSH
Establishes an SSH connection to the specified host or, if no hostname is
entered, to the preferred host.
host
Enter a text host name or an IP address in a standard numeric format (for
example, 192.0.1.183).
username
Enter a user name that will be passed to the remote host.
command
Enter a command that will be executed on the SSH host. Put the command in
quotes to retain any capitalization.
Telnet
The port is dedicated to the specified Telnet host or, if no hostname is entered,
to the preferred host.
TCP
Establishes a raw TCP connection to the host/port number specified. This is
useful for non-standard applications that do not desire any interpretation of the
data stream.
Rlogin
Forces an Rlogin connection to the remote host or, if no hostname is entered,
to the preferred host. May also take a username after the host parameter, in
which case a username is sent to the remote Rlogin host.
host
Enter a text host name or an IP address in a standard numeric format (for
example, 192.0.1.183).
envstring
Sets up the connection environment before the session is started. The string is
constructed with a sequence of key letters, some of which are prefaced by
either the “+” or “-.” For the available key letters and usage instructions, see
Appendix A, Environment Strings.
Local
Establishes a connection to a local service or port specified with the target
parameter.
target
A local service or port name.
