TELNET Commands

TELNET Client Commands

This subsection contains descriptions of the syntax (enclosed in boxes) and rules for

using TELNET client commands and provide examples of typical ways to use the

commands.

Table 9-1 summarizes the TELNET client commands.

To enter one of these commands, you need only specify enough characters to

differentiate the command from all the other commands. For example, you can enter o

for the open command:

telnet> o mainsys

You can also abbreviate arguments of the display, mode, and toggle commands;

however, you must make each argument distinct from all other arguments for the

command you are entering. For example, you can abbreviate localchars in the toggle

command by entering the letter l as follows:

telnet> toggle l

If you are communicating with the NonStop TELNET server, a banner appears that

indicates the available services. If the system indicates that the service you select is

not available, ask the system manager of the remote system to start the service.
