Login scripts
The DSView Telnet application has a login scripting function that enables you
to automatically log in to a device. A login script is built with a sequence of
expect and send strings, and initial transmission characters that work with
them. To use a login script, you must enable automatic login in a checkbox.
The first Initial character (that is, the first entry in the Initial character
column) specifies what is sent to the device as soon as the Telnet session
is established. This is selected from a list containing the choices: None, CR
(carriage return), CR+LF (carriage return and linefeed), ESC (Escape) and
CTRL+P (Control and P).
The first Expect string indicates what the device will send as its first prompt.
The first Send string indicates what the login script will send to the device after
it receives the first Expect string.
You may then build additional Expect and Send strings according to what the
particular device will prompt for and what will be sent in response.
To build a login script and enable/disable automatic login:
1. Select Options - Session Properties from the menu bar.
- or -
Click the Session Settings icon in the toolbar.
2. Click the Login Scripts tab.
3. Enable or disable the Automate Login checkbox. The default value
is disabled.
4. In the Initial Character list, select one option: CR (carriage return),
CR+LF (carriage return and linefeed), ESC (Escape), CTRL+P (Control+P
sequence, Ø x 10 in hex) or None (no initial transmission character).
5. In the Expect box, type the 1-32 alphanumeric character string that you
expect from the device. Spaces are allowed.
