Options
bidir
Allows a bidirectional connection on a port.
<config_host>
The name of the target host.
<server_port>
The Device Server port number.
<host_port>
The port number the target host is listening on for incoming connections.
direct
Direct connections bypass the Device Server, enabling the user to log straight into a
specific host. A direct connection is recommended where a user logging in to the
Device Server is not required. It is also recommended where multiple sessions are not a
requirement. The message
Press return to continue
is displayed on the user’s
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.
raw
Creates a connection where no authentication takes place and data is passed unchanged.
telnet
Sets the line for a telnet 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.
dslogin
The default connection. The Device Server displays a login on that line. For example,
DSLogin
is used when a System Administrator configures the Device Server or users
starts a session(s) from the Device Server to hosts.
