The following commands are available at the DTC user interface. Each command can be abbreviated. For example, to establish a connection, you can enter either C or CONNECT. The commands are not case-sensitive, so either c or C can be used.

Connect

Connect opens a connection to a system. The syntax of the command is:

C[ONNECT] < NODE NAME | IP ADDRESS | DNS NAME >

  • If a default destination has been defined for the port, then entering just C or CONNECT will connect directly to the system.

  • You should never pad an IP address with leading zeros. For example, if the IP address you are trying to connect to is 128.10.12.11, you must type connect 128.10.12.11. If you type connect 128.010.012.011, the connection attempt will fail.

Disconnect

Disconnect closes the current system connection.

D[ISCONNECT]

Help

Help displays a list of the available commands, their abbreviations, and a brief explanation of what they do.

H[ELP]

Logout

Logout logs the user out of the DTC.

L[OGOUT]

  • If the connection is via modems, the line is dropped.

  • If a session is open on a system, it is closed.

Recall

Recall resumes a connection.

R[ECALL]
