Line Commands

break

Specifies how a break is interpreted:

z

off—The IOLAN ignores the break key completely and it is not passed through to

the host. This is the default setting.

z

local—The IOLAN deals with the break locally. If the user is in a session, the

break key has the same effect as a hot key.

z

remote—When the break key is pressed, the IOLAN translates this into a telnet
break signal which it sends to the host machine.

z

break-interrupt—On some systems such as SunOS, XENIX, and AIX, a break

received from the peripheral is not passed to the client properly. If the client wishes
to make the break act like an interrupt key (for example, when the stty options

-ignbrk

and

brkintr

are set).

map-cr-crlf

When

Line Service Printer

is selected, defines the default end-of-line terminator as

CR-LF (ASCII carriage-return line-feed) when enabled. Default is

Off

.

data-logging

When enabled, serial data will be buffered if the TCP connection is lost. When the TCP
connection is re-established, the buffered serial data will be sent to its destination (this

option is not available when

Monitor DSR

,

Monitor DCD

, or

Multihost

is enabled).

The data buffer is 4K for desktop models and 32K for rack mount and medical unit

models. If the data buffer is filled, incoming serial data will overwrite the oldest data.
The default is

z

^a l

for a password (any password, excluding spaces) and locks the line. Next, the user

must retype the password to unlock the line.

z

^r

—When you switch from a session back to the Menu, the screen may not be

redrawn correctly. If this happens, use this command to redraw it properly. This is
