Preface This manual describes how to use the Model 3395 Terminal Server on an local area network (LAN). It explains how to use terminal server commands, and how to tailor some terminal server characteristics to suit your needs. This manual is for people who want to use the terminal server to gain access to resources on the network, rather than the individual who installs and manages the terminal server hardware and software. The network manager at your site decides how the network is set up an

Chapter 1 Getting Started The Model 3395/3395A Terminal Server is a combination of hardware and software that links users at serial devices, such as terminals, to resources on both local area networks (LANs) and wide area networks (WANs). These resources include a variety of hosts, workstations, and printers, as well as other SynOptics terminal servers. You can use a terminal server to gain access to any of these hosts on the network: • UNIX hosts that support the TCP/IP protocol • Internatio

Getting Started The user in Figure 1-1 has made a connection to the UNIX host on the LAN through the terminal server. He can now read databases, send mail, and run applications on this host. He can also connect to the VAX host, the IBM host, or a serial device on the other terminal server. Expanding the Network with the Terminal Server The terminal server can support a variety of devices, other than terminals. These include printers, modems, data switches, personal computers, and other host co

Getting Started The remaining sections of this chapter explain how you can use the terminal server in a network such as this one. These sections include the following topics: • Using the terminal server • Logging on to a terminal server port • Managing sessions • If you make a mistake • Privilege levels • Summary Using the Terminal Server When you log on to the terminal server you make a connection with a terminal server port. A port is the interface between a terminal and the other devices on

Getting Started Logging On to a Terminal Server Port If your terminal is connected directly to a terminal server port, press the key until one of the following prompts appears on the screen. If your terminal is connected to a host on the terminal server network, log off of the host, or suspend your current session by pressing the key or the local switch character. Then, press the key until one of these prompts appears and use the appropriate procedure: # Enter your lo

Getting Started Managing Sessions The connection between a terminal server port and a device on the network is called a session. You can establish a session with a LAT service, a Telnet host, an IBM host, or another terminal server after you log in to the terminal server port. The Model 3395/3395A Terminal Server allows you to open several sessions simultaneously, and move among them while you work. The next sections explain how to establish and manage sessions. Establishing a Session Several

Getting Started Suspending a Session When you suspend a session, you recall the Model 3395/3395A command interface without terminating the connection to the remote resource. Later, you can reopen the session and continue with your work. To suspend a session, press the Break key or the local switch character during the session. (A local switch character is a control character sequence that you or the network manager can define. Chapter 2 explains how to do this.) The TS3395> prompt appears,

Getting Started To switch from session 2 at a LAT service to session 1 at FINANCE.SUN.COM, you could use a sequence like this with the RESUME command, beginning at the LAT service: $ $ FINANCE.SUN.COM session 1 resumed Disconnecting From a Session You can disconnect from a session in two ways. If you are currently logged on to a host or service, enter the normal logoff command of the host or service. In this example, the user Johnson logs off of a UNIX host: % logoff JOHNSON logged out

Getting Started Using UNIX Aliases for Terminal Server Commands The Model 3395 Terminal Server software provides several UNIX equivalents, or aliases, for Model 3395/3395A Terminal Server commands. If you work in a UNIX environment, you may want to use these aliases because they will be more familiar to you than the Model 3395/3395A commands. Instead of the terminal server HELP command, for example, you can enter the MAN command. Chapter 3 includes a description of the UNIX aliases for termin

Getting Started Summary The Model 3395/3395A Terminal Server provides you with access to many resources on the network that might be unavailable to you otherwise. To use the terminal server, you log on to a terminal server port and establish sessions with hosts or other terminal server ports. You can suspend sessions and establish new sessions, so that you have several simultaneous connections. Terminal server privilege levels determine which commands and command options you can use at a term

Chapter 2 The User Interface This chapter describes how to use the terminal server command interface and the terminal server menu interface. It includes these topics: • Entering commands • Editing the command line • Assigning session management functions to keyboard characters • Session switching characters • Telnet session management characters • Using the terminal server menu If your port has the Multisessions characteristic enabled, the user interface behaves somewhat differently than the wa
