Using the AX3000
52 TCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual
It is even preferable not to turn off the TCP/IP AX3000 when a login prompt is
displayed (something which is commonly done with dumb UNIX terminals). This
is because a telnet connection has been opened and will then become an
orphan process. The following examples illustrate how the TCP/IP AX3000
differs from a conventional dumb terminal:
- if the 'auto-reconnect' parameter if set to 'yes', a stable stage cannot be
reached on the AX3000. New telnet connections will repeatedly be
opened.
- Under OS/400, it is impossible to exit the login stage, because there is no
way to close the current telnet session.
To allow graceful shutdown, an AX3000 shutdown function is available. Use the
following keystroke combination:
Note: this keystroke is not available from an RDP session.
A warning message is displayed:
If the user confirms, all active connections (screen and auxiliary port) are
closed. A few seconds later, the user is informed that the AX3000 may be
turned off.
