Command Reference

Change Forward Switch

2-24

2.19 Change Forward Switch

Defines a key that will switch the user to the next session without entering local mode. In local mode, the
key functions as if the Forward command was entered. Any key can be specified unless it conflicts with
MSS line editing or the Break or Forward keys. The key you specify will be stripped from the data stream,
so while it won’t interfere with remote operating systems, you will lose any functionality that key would
have on local programs.

Restrictions

Requires privileged user status.

Parameters

Port

MSS4 only. Specifies a particular port or group of ports.

Note:

In the absence of the PortList parameter, the configuration will affect the MSS4’s
current port only.

PortList

Specify a particular port or group of ports. Port numbers are specified with
integers between 1 and 4, and should be separated with commas (for lists) or
dashes (for ranges).

character

Type a character to serve as the switch key. To specify a control character, use
escaped hex (\xx). For example, Ctrl-B (ASCII character 0x02) would be
specified as \02.

None

Clears the previously-defined Forward Switch key.

Defaults

No switch

2.20 Change Gateway

Specifies the host that is to be used as a TCP/IP gateway between networks. If a connection to a machine
on a different network is attempted, messages will be directed to the gateway for forwarding. The MSS will
try to learn gateways automatically if none have been configured.

Restrictions

Requires privileged user status.

Errors

If a gateway is not defined, an error will be returned.
