SEND AO

SEND AO (Abort Output) aborts the output of the last remote command you entered, while the command continues to execute. If you issue another SEND AO, the output resumes if the command is still executing.

Use this command when the following conditions exist:


DCL Format

SEND AO


UNIX Format

send ao


Example


% cd /bin 
% ls -l 
total 3464
-rwxr-xr-x  2 root 32768 Oct 19  1996 STTY

This example:


SEND GA

SEND GA (Go Ahead) signals the remote host that your local system is ready.

Some applications require GA commands in either one or both directions. (Usually, Go Ahead is suppressed, so sending a GA has no effect.)


DCL Format

SEND GA


UNIX Format

send ga


SEND IP

SEND IP (Interrupt Program) interrupts the execution of the last command you entered on the remote host. The interrupt character clears the input and output paths to the remote host. The remote host interrupts the program that is processing. (This command has no effect in binary mode.)

Use this command if either your terminal or the remote host does not recognize the default interrupt character, Ctrl/C.


DCL Format

SEND IP


UNIX Format

send ip


SEND NOP

SEND NOP (No Operation) tells you whether your local host can send data to the remote host and the remote host can receive the data. If you:

DCL Format

SEND NOP


UNIX Format

send nop


Examples

#1

% [Ctrl/]] (characters not echoed)
TELNET> SEND NOP [Return] 
%TELNET-I-SESSION, Session 01, host nyx, port 23
      

No error message indicates the connection is active. (The information message also indicates the connection is active.)

#2

% [Ctrl/]] (characters not echoed)
TELNET> SEND NOP 
%TELNET-S-REMCLOSED, Remote connection closed 
-TELNET-I-SESSION, Session 01, host nyx, port 23 
TELNET>
      

Indicates your connection has been broken.


SEND SYNCH

The SEND SYNCH command clears the communications path between your local system and the remote host. The SYNCH is sent in urgent mode (out-of-band, OOB). As a result, the following actions occur:
  1. The local host immediately sends an interrupt character, placing it at the front of the data stream sent to the remote host.
  2. The remote host immediately processes the interrupt character, ignoring any incoming data not yet processed, and then including a TELNET synchronization or interrupt character in the data stream it sends back to the local host.
  3. The local host throws away all incoming data (rather than processing that data) until it detects the synchronization or interrupt character. This provides faster response time to the synchronization and interrupt characters.

DCL Format

SEND SYNCH


UNIX Format

send synch


SET ECHO

Sets the echo character.

Use this command if either your terminal or the remote system does not recognize the default echo character. Enter the following sequence of characters:

  1. Opening quotation marks
  2. A circumflex ( ^ )
  3. The new echo character
  4. Closing quotation marks

DCL Format

SET ECHO "^character"


UNIX Format

Character you want to use as the echo character.


Example


TELNET> SET ECHO "^m" 
Echo character is '^M'.
      

Sets the echo control character to either m or M.


SET ERASE

Sets the erase character.

The erase character deletes, either locally or remotely, the last character in the type-ahead buffer. (This character has no effect in binary mode.)

Use this command if either your terminal or the remote system does not recognize the default erase character, the Delete key.

Enter the following sequence of characters:

  1. Opening quotation marks
  2. A circumflex ( ^ )
  3. The new erase character
  4. Closing quotation marks

DCL Format

SET ERASE "^character"

Character you want to use as the erase character.


Example


TELNET> SET ERASE "^P" 
Erase character is '^p'.
      

Sets the erase control character to either p or P.


SET ESCAPE

Sets the escape character.

The escape character returns you to the TELNET prompt. When you run multiple sessions, you can set different escape sequences for each connection.

Use this command if either your terminal or the remote system does not recognize the default escape character, Ctrl/]. Enter the following sequence of characters:

  1. Opening quotation marks
  2. A circumflex ( ^ )
  3. The new escape character
  4. Closing quotation marks

DCL Format

SET ESCAPE "^character"

Character you want to use as the escape character.


Example


TELNET> SET ESCAPE "^P" 
Escape character is '^p'.
      

Sets the escape control character to either p or P.


SET FLUSHOUTPUT

Sets the flush output character.

Use this command if either your terminal or the remote host does not recognize the default flush output character, Ctrl/O.

Enter the following sequence of characters:

  1. Opening quotation marks
  2. A circumflex ( ^ )
  3. The new flush output character
  4. Closing quotation marks

DCL Format

SET FLUSHOUTPUT "^character"


UNIX Format

set flushoutput "^character"


Parameters

Required.

Character you want to use as the flush output character.


Example


TELNET> SET FLUSHOUTPUT "^P" 
Flush output character is '^p'.
      

Sets the flush output control character to either p or P.


SET INTERRUPT

Sets the interrupt character.

The interrupt character clears the input and output paths to the remote host. The remote host interrupts the program that is processing. (This character has no effect in binary mode.)

Use this command if either your terminal or the remote host does not recognize the default interrupt character, Ctrl/C.

Enter the following sequence of characters:

  1. Opening quotation marks
  2. A circumflex ( ^ )
  3. The new interrupt character
  4. Closing quotation marks

DCL Format

SET INTERRUPT "^character"


UNIX Format

set interrupt "^character"


Parameters

"^character"

Required.

Character you want to use as the interrupt character.


Example


TELNET> SET INTERRUPT "^a" 
Interrupt character is '^A'.
      

Sets the interrupt control character to either a or A.


SET KILL

Sets the kill character.

The kill character discards, both locally and remotely, the entire type-ahead buffer. (This character has no effect in binary mode.)

Use this command if either your terminal or the remote host does not recognize the default kill character, Ctrl/U.

Enter the following sequence of characters:

  1. Opening quotation marks
  2. A circumflex ( ^ )

Example


TELNET> SET KILL "^q" 
Kill character is '^Q'.
      

Sets the kill control character to either q or Q.


SET MODE

Sets the mode of transmission.

The mode of transmission can be either character mode or line mode. Character mode is the default. Use character mode when you run a character-processing text editor on the remote host. With character mode, your local system sends data a character at a time to the remote host with which you have a connected session, and the remote host echoes the characters back for display on your local system. (Sometimes several characters may be sent in a burst for performance optimization, in which case the remote server usually replies with bursts of characters, but not a line at a time.)

To use line mode, the remote host server must support line mode. The local host echoes characters. Line mode allows the following:

This command overrides the ENABLE LOCAL_CHARS command.

Before you enter this command, establish a remote connection.


DCL Format

SET MODE {CHAR | LINE}


UNIX Format

mode mode


Parameters

CHAR
LINE

Required.

Transmission mode you want to set. Specify either of the following:
