5.1.8 - The Multi-Shell
The AXEL multi-shell software allows multiple telnet sessions on the same host
,
with the same user name
, without demanding multiple logons. This is done by
running the AXEL tcpmsh program from a UNIX shell. This supports up to eight
duplicated sessions.
Operating example: you could run four multi-shell sessions (or «views»)
across each of two telnet connections to different hosts. Function keystroke
combinations could be used to hot-key between the different telnet connections
(<Alt><Fx>) and different multi-shell views (<Ctrl><Fx>).
a) Installation
Copy to /usr/bin and rename as ‘tcpmsh’ the appropriate binary. Example for
IBM AIX:
# cp tcpmsh.AIX /usr/bin/tcpmsh <CR>
b) Setting-Up the AX3000
Use of multiple views within a single telnet session must be set through the
AX3000 set-up.
The AX3000 supports eight virtual screens, which may be shared, between
telnet sessions and multi-shell views. In the AX3000 set-up, multi-shell views
are referred to as «pages per session» or «page/session»).
The AX3000 default factory set-up is 8 telnet sessions and 1 page/session.
To change this configuration, enter AX3000 Set-Up (<Ctrl><Alt><Esc>) and
select the [Terminal]→[Multi-session] dialog. Tune the two parameters
number of sessions and number of Pages/Session.
c) Using the Multi-Shell
To run tcpmsh, the syntax is:
$ tcpmsh [-options] <CR>
