Chapter 7 - Internet 7-17
In a Telnet connection, these special keys include
the following commands (can be used in remote
systems that support them):
Interrupt — For interrupting the current pro-
cess on the remote computer.
Skip command output — To prevent com-
mand output from being displayed on the
screen.
Are you there? — For enquiring whether the
remote system is still running (if the execu-
tion of a task seems to take too long).
The selected special character is entered to the
left of the cursor by pressing Insert. The inserted
special characters send a control signal to the
remote computer – they are not displayed on the
screen.
Press Zoom in if the whole emulated screen and,
consequently, character size is too small. The
Zoom out command returns the unzoomed view.
When the view is being zoomed, the scroll keys
can be used to switch between the upper and
lower parts of the terminal screen.
Press Texts to activate the text transfer com-
mands (see "Define Telnet connections: Text
transfers" on page 7-17).
Press Hang up to close the connection to the
host, end the data call and return to the Telnet
application main view.
The scroll up/down buttons can be used for
scrolling the view. Scrolling does not affect the
cursor position. Pressing any keyboard key re-
turns the view to the cursor position.
Text transfers
The text transfer function enables you to down-
load (capture) or upload (send) texts between a
host computer and the communicator. This fea-
ture can be used, to send pre-written e-mail
messages to the company mainframe computer,
or copy received e-mail and read it later off line.
Once you have connected to the host, press
Texts in the Telnet or Terminal main view to
access the Text transfer view.
To send text to the host computer:
1 Press Send text.
2 Open one of the folders shown and select the
document you want to send and press Send.
While the text is being uploaded, the keyboard is
inactive.
To copy text from the host computer:
1 Prepare the text reading application on the
host.
2 Press Capture text. All interaction with the
host will be recorded in a file in the Down-
loaded files folder. Control characters, except
line changes, will not be stored.
3 Press Stop capture to end the text capture
process.
Press Back to return to the previous set of
commands.
