Telnet/iX Client Commands
Quick Reference
DISPLAY
[argument] Displays all set and toggle values. If argument is
specified, Telnet/iX will display the set or toggle
value for that argument only.
HELP
[command] Displays a list of valid Telnet/iX Client commands and
corresponding one-line command descriptions. If
command is specified, Telnet/iX displays a one-line
description of that command only. Equivalent to ?
command.
MODE [mode] Changes the user input mode to the mode specified. The
value of mode can be character, for “character at a
time” mode, or line, for “line by line” mode. The
Telnet/iX Client asks the remote host for permission to
go into the requested mode. If the remote host is
capable of entering that mode, the protocol enters the
requested mode. In character mode, Telnet/iX sends
each character to the remote hostas it is typed. In line
mode, Telnet/iX accumulates user input into lines and
transmits each line to the remote host when the user
types the
[Return] key, a linefeed, or EOF (default is
[CTRL]-D). Be aware that setting line mode also sets
local echo. Applications that expect to interpret user
input character by character (such as UNIX utilities:
more, csh, ksh, and vi) do not function correctly in
line mode.
OPEN
[remotehostname]
[port] Opens a connection to the named host at the specified
port. If port is not specified, the Telnet/iX Client
attempts to contact a server at the standard Telnet port
(23). remotehostname can be either the official name or an
alias, or an Internet address specified in the dot
notation (refer to the HP 3000/iX Network Planning
and Configuration Guide for more information on
Internet addresses). If remotehostname is not specified,
Telnet/iX prompts for one.
QUIT Closes any open session and exits the Telnet/iX Client.
SEND [argument] Sends one or more special character sequences to the
remote host (more than one argument can be specified at
a time). An open connection must already exist in order
to use this command. The following are the arguments
which can be specified:
? Displays help information for the SEND
command.
