IOLAN SDS/SCS/STS CLI Reference Guide, Version 3.6

Options

bidir

This service allows the IOLAN listen for incoming TCP connection and if needed,
initiate a TCP connection.

<config_host>

The name of the target host. The host must exist in the IOLAN host table.

<server_port>

The IOLAN port number.

<host_port>

The port number the target host is listening on for incoming connections.

direct

Direct connections bypass the IOLAN, enabling the user to log straight into a specific
host. A direct connection is recommended where a user logging in to the IOLAN is not
required. It is also recommended where multiple sessions are not a requirement. The
message

Press return to continue

is displayed on the users screen. The user

must press a key to display the host login prompt. The message is redisplayed on
logout.

silent

Silent connections are the same as direct connections, except they are permanently
established. The host login prompt is displayed on the screen. Logging out redisplays
this prompt. Silent connections, unlike direct connections, however, make permanent
use of pseudo tty resources and therefore consume host resources even when not in use.

rlogin

Sets the line for a remote login connection.

raw

Creates a connection where no authentication takes place and data is passed unchanged.

telnet

Sets the line for a telnet connection.

ssh

Sets the line for an SSH connection.

reverse

Enables a TCP/IP host to establish a login connection on an external machine attached
to a port. For example, to access machines like protocol converters, statistical
multiplexors, or machines like routers, firewalls, servers, etc.

client-tunnel

Sets the line for a client tunnel connection.

dslogin

The default connection. The IOLAN displays a login on that line. For example,

DSLogin

is used when a System Administrator configures the IOLAN, providing

authentication of a user before starting a

User Service

of

SLIP

, or users starts a

session(s) from the IOLAN to hosts.

printer

Using the IOLAN as a printer server. For example, remote printing using LPD (port
515) or RCP (port 514).
