Target Connections and the CLI
The purpose of the Dominion SX is to let authorized users establish
connections to various targeted devices using the connect command.
Before connecting to a target, the terminal emulation and escape
sequence must be configured. When a target is disconnected, the
appropriate disconnect message appears. The Dominion SX also
provides the ability to share ports among users.
Setting Emulation on a Target
To set emulation on the target:
 Ensure that the encoding in use on the host matches the encoding
configured for the target device, that is, if the character-set setting on
a Sun
™
Solaris
™
server is set to ISO8859-1, the target device should
also be set to ISO8859-1.
Note: ISO9660 format is the standard supported by Raritan.
However, other CD-ROM extensions may also work.
 Ensure that the terminal emulation on the target host connected to
the Dominion SX serial port is set to VT100, VT220, VT320 or ANSI.
On most UNIX
®
systems, export TERM=vt100 (or vt220|vt320|ansi)” sets
the preferred terminal emulation type on the UNIX target device, that is, if
the terminal type setting on a HP-UX
®
server is set to VT100, the Access
Client should also be set to VT100.
The setting for terminal emulation on the Dominion SX is a property
associated with the port settings for a particular target device. Ensure
that the settings for terminal emulation in the client software such as
Telnet or SSH client are capable of supporting the target device.
