USER’S GUIDE
620 CyberSWITCH
The
set escape
command can be used to change the “escape” character for the current
Telnet session. This command may be useful when a device is connected to a target host,
using several different Telnet connections. By changing the escape character to a value
other than the default (<CTRL>), the user can return to Telnet “command” mode for a
particular session.
Typically, Telnet “escape” characters have the form ‘<CTRL><char>‘ (i.e., the CTRL key +
some other key must be pressed). The <value> parameter for the “set escape” command
may have any of the following values:
•
<CTRL><char>, where <char> is in the range of ASCII 'A' to ASCII '_'
•
<CTRL><char>, where <char> is in the range of ASCII 'a' to ASCII 'z' (note that lower
case letters are converted to upper case before they are used)
•
<char>, where <char> is in the range of ASCII '!' to ASCII '~'
To specify the <CTRL> key in the
set escape
command, use the ’>’ character. The
following is an example of setting the escape character equal to ‘<CTRL> P’:
status
The
status
command can be used to interrogate information about the current Telnet
session.
toggle
The
toggle
command can be used to set various operating parameters for the current
Telnet session. Currently, the only parameter available is
debug
.
If no parameters are specified on the
toggle
command line (or if
toggle ?
is entered),
the following help message is displayed:
The toggle debug command allows you to turn the Telnet debug mode on or off. If the
debug mode is turned on, messages beginning with “[TELNET-C]” may appear in the
system log file. Most users will not find these messages helpful. If you have difficulty with
the system Telnet client feature, we suggest you call your Distributor or Customer Support.

The CyberSWITCH supports two terminal types: vt100 and ANSI. When a Telnet connection is
established, the system attempts to negotiate the terminal type. When the negotiation fails, the
system sets the terminal type to vt100.
To successfully issue the
pkt display
,
semi perm
, and
mc
commands, you must have the
terminal type set identically for both the Telnet emulator and the terminal emulation. To do this,
use the
term set
command.
