mapin
mapin <remote character> <local character>
Translates a specific character (remote character) received from the device to which you are
connected to another character (local character).
This translation affects only characters received from the device to which you are connected.
It has no effect on the character when you enter it.
mapout
mapout <local character> <remote character>
Translates a particular character entered at the workstation (local character) to another
character (remote character) before it is sent to the device to which you are connected.
For instance, some devices use a limited character set that does not recognize lowercase
letters. To connect to such a device, you would want to map all lowercase characters to their
uppercase equivalents. For instance, to map a to A, use this
mapout command:
mapout a A
This has no effect on characters received from the device. Only characters typed at the
workstation are translated.
message
message <string>
Sends the string to the screen.
This command informs users that the system is active and functioning during a dialing
session.
pass
pass <resume character>
Suspends a dialog and yields control to the user.
Whatever the user enters after the
pass command is sent directly to the device to which the
user is connected. When the user enters the character defined in <
resume character >
parameter, pass resumes the dialog.
