2  –  PARAMETERS

    Displays current TELNET or TN3270 parameter settings. If you run
    multiple sessions, the display applies to the active session.

    DCL Format

      SHOW PARAMETERS

    UNIX Format

      display

2.1  –  Example

  TELNET> SHOW PARAMETERS
  Will flush output when sending interrupt characters
  Won't send interrupt characters in urgent mode
  Will map carriage return on output
  Won't recognize certain control characters
  Won't show option negotiation
  Won't print network data flow in hexadecimal

  [^C]     interrupt
  [^U]     kill
  [^Y]     quit
  [^T]     areyouthere
  TELNET>

      Displays the parameter settings for the active session,
      revealing the following information:

      o  Automatic flushing (AUTOFLUSH) of output is enabled.

      o  Sending of interrupt characters in urgent mode (AUTOSYNCH)
         is disabled.

      o  Mapping of received carriage returns (CRMOD) is enabled.

      o  Mapping of carriage returns as Return LP on output (CRLF) is
         disabled.

      o  Interpretation of control characters (LOCAL_CHARS) is
         enabled. The remote host does not recognize certain control
         characters; therefore, the local host interprets them.

      o  Display of option negotiations (OPTIONS_VIEW) between the
         local and remote hosts is disabled.

      o  The display or printing of data in hexadecimal (DEBUG) is
         disabled. Therefore, TELNET displays the data in readable
         text only.

      o  The control characters are interpreted as listed.

3  –  SESSION

    Displays the session information about your current TELNET
    sessions (or TN3270 session) and, if you are running multiple
    TELNET sessions, about the waiting sessions.

    DCL Format

      SHOW SESSION

    UNIX Format

      $ <Ctrl/]> (characters not echoed)

      TELNET> SHOW SESSION
      Session 01, host LUNA, port 23 (default active port)

      TELNET>

      Displays information about current sessions. The information
      returned for the first SHOW SESSION command reveals that the
      local host has no active sessions. The user then connects to
      host LUNA and returns to the TELNET prompt to display session
      information once again. This time, the SHOW SESSION command
      displays information about the connection with LUNA.

    2.TELNET> CONNECT ESTRELLA 23 IBM-3278-2

      Session 02, host ESTRELLA, port 23 (default active session)
      TELNET>

      Here, the same user has established another connection, this
      time to host ESTRELLA. The SHOW SESSION command displays
      information about all sessions, revealing that the current
      active session is with host ESTRELLA.

4  –  STATUS

    Displays the status of the current TELNET or TN3270 session
    and, if you are running multiple sessions, about the waiting
    sessions. Status information can include information about open
    sessions, such as which one is active and which ones are waiting,
    the escape character and options currently set, and the number
    of data overruns and suspended network I/Os (inputs/outputs)
    detected.
