Line Commands

rev-sess-security

Enables/disables login/password authentication, locally or externally, on reverse Telnet

connections. The default is

Off

.

sess-time

Enter a time, in seconds, for which the session timer will run. Use this timer to forcibly

close the session (connection). When the session timer expires the Device Server will
end the connection. The default value is

0

seconds so the port will never timeout. The

maximum value is 4294967 seconds (about 49 days).

break

Specifies how a break is interpreted:

z

None—The Device Server ignores the break key completely and it is not passed
through to the host. This is the default setting.

z

Local—The Device Server deals with the break locally. If the user is in a session,

the break key has the same effect as a hot key.

z

Remote—When the break key is pressed, the Device Server translates this into a

telnet break signal which it sends to the host machine.

z

Brkintr—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a break received
from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If the client wishes to make

the break act like an interrupt key (for example, when the stty options

-ignbrk

and

brkintr

are set).

z

^a l

—(Lowercase L) Locks the line until the user unlocks it. The user is prompted

for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the line. Next, the user
must retype the password to unlock the line.

z

^r

redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it properly.
