Telnet/iX Client commands can be entered in upper case or
lower case letters. Command abbreviations are not supported. | | | |  | NOTE: Telnet/iX Client commands can only be entered in Telnet/iX
command mode (at the telnet> prompt);
entering a command at the remote host's prompt when connected
to a remote host will result in an error. | | | | |
While connected to a remote host, Telnet/iX command mode can
be entered by typing [CTRL]-] (the default value).
Once you are in Telnet/iX command mode and have entered a client
command, you are automatically returned to remote host control (except
for when entering the ? or HELP
command). However, you will not see the remote host's prompt
until you press the [Return] key. If you entered
the ? or HELP command in Telnet/iX
command mode, you will remain in command mode and can enter another
client command. Alternatively, you can return to the remote host's
prompt by pressing the [Return] key twice. To close a Telnet/iX session, type close
in Telnet/iX command mode. If the session was started from command
mode, you return to command mode; otherwise, you exit the Telnet/iX
Client and return to the MPE/iX prompt. To close any open Telnet/iX
session and automatically exit the Telnet/iX Client, regardless
of where the session was started, type quit
at the telnet> prompt. | | | | | NOTE: The Telnet/iX Client supports eight-bit characters when
communicating with the remote host. To use eight-bit characters,
you may need to reconfigure your terminal or the remote host. Additionally,
you may need to enable the binary
option to allow an eight-bit data stream between the Telnet/iX Client
and the remote host. Note that some remote hosts may not support
eight-bit characters. | | | | |
- ? [command]
Displays a list of valid Telnet/iX Client commands
and corresponding one-line command descriptions. If command
is specified, Telnet/iX displays a one-line description of that
command only. Equivalent to HELP command. - !mpecommand
From within a Telnet/iX session you can execute
an MPE/iX command or program by entering an exclamation point (!)
followed by the command or program name. After the command is executed,
or the program is exited, you are returned to your active session. - CLOSE
Closes the active session. If the session was started
from command mode, Telnet/iX returns to command mode; otherwise,
you exit the program. - DISPLAY [argument]
Displays all set
and toggle values. If argument
is specified, Telnet/iX will display the set
or toggle value for that argument
only. - HELP [command]
Displays a list of valid Telnet/iX Client commands
and corresponding one-line command descriptions. If command
is specified, Telnet/iX displays a one-line description of that
command only. Equivalent to ? command. - MODE [mode]
Changes the user input mode to the mode
specified. The value of mode can be character,
for "character at a time" mode, or line,
for "line by line" mode. The Telnet/iX Client
asks the remote host for permission to go into the requested mode.
If the remote host is capable of entering that mode, the protocol
enters the requested mode. In character
mode, Telnet/iX sends each character to the remote host as it is
typed. In line mode, Telnet/iX
accumulates user input into lines and transmits each line to the
remote host when the user types the [Return] key,
a linefeed, or EOF (default is [CTRL]-D). Be aware
that setting line mode also sets
local echo. Applications that expect to interpret user input character
by character (such as UNIX utilities: more, csh,
ksh, and vi)
do not function correctly in line
mode. - OPEN [remotehostname] [port]
Opens a connection to the named host at the specified
port. If port
is not specified, the Telnet/iX Client attempts to contact a server
at the standard Telnet port (23). remotehostname
can be either the official name or an alias, or an Internet address
specified in the dot notation (refer to the HP 3000/iX
Network Planning and Configuration Guide for more information
on Internet addresses). If remotehostname
is not specified, Telnet/iX prompts for one. - QUIT
Closes any open session and exits the Telnet/iX
Client. - SEND [argument]
Sends one or more special character sequences to
the remote host (more than one argument
can be specified at a time). An open connection must already exist
in order to use this command. The following are the arguments which
can be specified:
- ?
Displays help information for the SEND
command. - ao
Sends the Telnet AO
(Abort Output) sequence which should (if the remote system supports
this sequence) cause the remote system to flush all output from
the remote system to the user's terminal. - ayt
Sends the Telnet AYT
(Are You There) sequence to which the remote system should (if the
remote system supports this sequence) respond. - brk
Sends the Telnet BRK
(Break) sequence which will (if the remote system supports this
sequence) have significance to the remote system. - ec
Sends the Telnet EC
(Erase Character) sequence which should (if the remote system supports
this sequence) cause the remote system to erase the last character
entered. - el
Sends the Telnet EL
(Erase Line) sequence which should (if the remote system supports
this sequence) cause the remote system to erase the line currently
being entered. - escape
Sends the Telnet escape character (default is [CTRL]-]). - ga
Sends the Telnet GA
(Go Ahead) sequence which has significance to the remote system
only in the rare case when the connection to the remote system is
half duplex. - ip
Sends the Telnet IP
(Interrupt Process) sequence which should (if the remote system
supports this sequence) cause the remote system to abort the currently
running process. - nop
Sends the Telnet NOP
(No OPeration) sequence. - synch
Sends the Telnet SYNCH
sequence which causes the remote system to discard all previously
typed (but not yet read) input. This sequence is sent as TCP urgent
data. This argument may not be supported on some remote systems;
an r will be echoed on the user's
terminal if it is not supported.
- SET [argument] [value]
Sets argument entered
to value. The special value off
turns off the function associated with the variable. There is no
special value on, which turns the
function back on; you must assign a value to the variable. Use the
DISPLAY command to list the current values of
arguments. Valid arguments include: - echo
In "line by line" mode, echo
toggles between performing local echoing of entered characters (for
normal processing) and suppressing echoing of entered characters
(for entering a password, for instance). Default is [CTRL]-E. - eof
Entering eof as
the first character on a line will result in an EOF being sent to
the remote system if the Telnet/iX Client is operating in line
mode (see MODE [mode]
command). Default is [CTRL]-D. - erase
erase sends the
Telnet EC sequence to the remote
host if the Telnet/iX Client is in localchars
mode (see TOGGLE [argument]
command) and in character mode
(see MODE [mode] command).
Default is [CTRL]-H. - escape
escape represents
the escape character which enables you to enter into Telnet/iX command
mode when connected to a remote system. Default is [CTRL]-]. - flushoutput
flushoutput sends
the Telnet AO sequence to the remote
host if the Telnet/iX Client is in localchars
mode (see TOGGLE [argument]
command). Default is [CTRL]-O. - interrupt
interrupt sends
the Telnet IP sequence to the remote
host if the Telnet/iX Client is in localchars
mode (see TOGGLE [argument]
command). Default is [CTRL]-Y. - kill
kill sends the
Telnet EL sequence to the remote
host if the Telnet/iX Client is in localchars
mode (see TOGGLE [argument]
command) and in character mode
(see MODE [mode] command).
Default is [CTRL]-X. - quit
quit sends the
Telnet BRK sequence to the remote
host if the Telnet/iX Client is in localchars
mode (see TOGGLE [argument]
command). Default is [CTRL]-\.
- STATUS
Shows current status of the Telnet/iX Client. The
program reports the current escape character. If there is no Telnet/iX
connection, the program reports No connection.
If there is an open Telnet/iX connection, the program reports the
host to which it is connected and the current mode. - TOGGLE [argument]
Toggles argument value
between TRUE and FALSE
which affects how the Telnet/iX Client responds to events. More
than one argument may be specified. Use
the DISPLAY command to list the current values
of arguments. Valid arguments include:
- ?
Help. Displays
the supported TOGGLE commands. - autoflush
Toggles autoflush
mode. If autoflush and localchars
are both TRUE, then when the ao,
intr, or quit
characters are recognized and transformed into Telnet sequences,
the Telnet/iX Client will not display any data on the user's terminal
until the remote system acknowledges (via a Telnet Timing Mark option)
that it has processed those Telnet sequences. Default is FALSE. - autosynch
Toggles autosynch
mode. If autosynch and localchars
are both TRUE, then when either
the intr or quit
characters is typed, the associated Telnet sequence sent is followed
by the Telnet SYNCH sequence. This
procedure should (if supported by the remote system) cause the remote
system to begin discarding all previously typed input until both
of the Telnet sequences have been read and acted upon. Default is
FALSE. - binary
Toggles binary
mode. If this is TRUE, binary mode
is enabled. This option should be enabled to send and receive 8-bit
characters to and from the Telnet server. Default is FALSE. - crlf
Toggles carriage return/line feed mode. If this
is TRUE, carriage returns will
be sent as <CR><LF>. If
this is FALSE, carriage returns
will be sent as <CR><NUL>.
Default is FALSE. - crmod
Toggles carriage return mode. If this is TRUE,
any carriage return characters received from the remote host are
mapped into a carriage return and a line feed. This mode does not
affect those characters typed by the user, but rather, only those
received. This mode is only required for some hosts that require
the client to do local echoing but output carriage returns without
linefeeds. Default is FALSE. - debug
Toggles the debug tracing option. If this is TRUE,
you will create socket trace files (named SOCK####). The trace files
are formatted using NMDUMP. For information on using NMDUMP see
the NS 3000/iX Operations and Maintenance Reference Manual. - echo
Toggles local echo mode or remote echo mode. If
this is TRUE, local echo mode is
enabled and user input is echoed to the user's terminal
before being transmitted to the remote host. If this is FALSE,
remote echo mode is enabled and any echoing of user input is done
by the remote host. Applications that handle echoing of user input
themselves, such as UNIX utilities csh,
ksh, and vi,
will not function properly with local echo. Default is FALSE. - localchars
Toggles local characters mode. If this is TRUE,
the flush, interrupt,
quit, erase,
and kill characters (see SET
[argument] [value]
command) are recognized locally and transformed into appropriate
Telnet control sequences (ao, ip,
brk, ec,
and el, respectively). Default
is TRUE in line
mode and FALSE in character
mode. - netdata
Toggles the display of all network data (in hexadecimal
format). If this is TRUE, all network
data is displayed. Default is FALSE. - options
Toggles viewing of Telnet options processing. If
this is TRUE, options viewing is
enabled and all option negotiations are displayed. Options sent
by the Telnet/iX Client are displayed as SENT,
while options received from the remote host are displayed as RCVD.
Default is FALSE.
- Z
Suspends the Telnet/iX Client and returns you to
the MPE/iX session command line where you first invoked the program.
Issuing this command is equivalent to pressing the [Break]
key. The RESUME or ABORT command
can then be used on this program.
