editbrk

When not in the Interactive mode, a user can enter

editbrk

to edit or view their preset break

sequence. The break

sequence is presented in its ASCII form (x1bB). The user key stroke

default is <

ESC>B

. Press Enter to keep the existing setting.

Warning!: Because the sysadmin is responsible for configuration changes, it is

recommended that only the sysadmin be allowed to change the

break

sequence.

9.3.3.2 Escape Sequence

A user-defined sequence of keys is used to leave the Interactive mode. The default
sequence is <

ESC>A

!

Note: Do NOT use combinations of the

<CTRL>

key and other keys for the escape

sequence as these combinations are usually reserved for sending and receiving special
characters through a terminal.

Edit Escape Sequence: It is recommended that only the sysadmin edit the

escape

command

sequence. When logged in, enter

editesc

to edit or view the preset

escape

sequence. The

escape

sequence is presented in its ASCII form (x1bA). The user key stroke default is

<

ESC>A

. Press Enter to keep the existing setting.

Warning!: Because the sysadmin is responsible for configuration changes, it is

recommended that only the sysadmin be allowed to change the

escape

sequence.

9.4 Monitor Mode

Monitor Mode allows a user to view the traffic on a port, but not to interact with it. Once in
Monitor Mode, pressing any key will close the connection. Multiple users may monitor the same
port at one time, unlike Interactive mode, which is limited to one user. A port may be monitored
while an interactive session is in progress. The

monitor

command uses the same syntax as

the

connect

command.

9.5 Browse the Buffers

Any of the Linux text browsing commands (

less, more, ftp, tftp, scp,

etc.) may be

used to view the Port buffers. These buffers are named:

/lsi/ports/buf_<name>

or

/proc/port_buffers/<number>

9.6 Clear the Port Buffers

Use the following commands to erase the data in a Port buffer:

stty --clear -F/proc/port_buffers/<n>

or

stty --clear -F/lsi/ports/buf_<name>
