1 – AUTOFLUSH
Enables the automatic flushing of output when you send the
interrupt character.
o Enabled - The data in the data buffer remains visible until
the buffer is empty.
o Disabled - The data buffer is emptied and the display is
terminated. This provides fast system response to the
interrupt character.
Default: ENABLE AUTOFLUSH
DCL Format
ENABLE AUTOFLUSH
UNIX Format
toggle autoflush
2 – AUTOSYNCH
Enables the sending of the synchronization and interrupt
characters in urgent mode.
o Enabled - The local host sends an interrupt character in
urgent mode, and the remote host immediately processes it.
o Disabled - TELNET sends the interrupt character in sequence
with the other characters in the stream, and the remote host
processes this character in the sequence received.
Default: DISABLE AUTOSYNCH.
DCL Format
ENABLE AUTOSYNCH
UNIX Format
toggle autosynch
3 – BINARY
Enables the transmission of data in binary mode.
o Enabled - The EOL (end-of-line) character is not mapped to
Return LF (the carriage return/line feed combination).
Use ENABLE BINARY when the remote host expects each line to
end with a carriage return/line feed combination.
Binary mode provides interaction when the remote host:
- Expects special characters.
- Does not support automatic negotiation of the TELNET binary
option.
o Disabled - EOL is sent as Return LF (the carriage return/line
feed combination).
Default: DISABLE BINARY
DCL Format
ENABLE BINARY

4 – CRLF
Enables the sending of carriage returns as Return LF (the
carriage return/line feed combination) at the end of each line.
o Use ENABLE CRLF if the remote host expects Return LF at the
end of each line.
o Use DISABLE CRLF if the remote host interprets Return as
Return LF, which is CR mode.
Default: ENABLE CRLF
DCL Format
ENABLE CRLF
UNIX Format
toggle crlf
5 – CRMOD
Enables the mapping of received carriage returns. With this
mapping, the remote host sends each line with Return LF (the
carriage return/line feed combination) at the end of each line.
o Use ENABLE CRMOD if your terminal expects each line to end
with Return LF.
o Use DISABLE CRMOD if your terminal expects Return null at the
end of each line.
Default: DISABLE CRMOD
DCL Format
ENABLE CRMOD
UNIX Format
toggle crmod
6 – DEBUG
Enables the display of data in hexadecimal.
o Enabled - Data is displayed in both hexadecimal and readable
text.
o Disabled - Data is displayed in readable text.
Default: DISABLE DEBUG
DCL Format
ENABLE DEBUG

toggle netdata

Escapes from a session with a UNIX host, enables debug mode,
resumes the session, and asks for a list of files in the
working directory. Both hexadecimal data and readable data
are displayed.
7 – LOCAL_CHARS
Enables the translation of the following terminal control
characters in to TELNET protocol sequences:
o Interrupt
o Flush Output
o Are You There
o Kill
o Erase
o Quit
With local characters:
o Enabled - The local host sends the control characters (in the
preceding text) translated into TELNET sequences. For example,
Ctrl/T becomes IAC AYT.
Enabled mode is appropriate when the remote and local hosts
implement different control characters. The remote host does
not recognize certain control characters. Therefore, the local
host interprets these control characters before sending them
to the remote host.
o Disabled - The local host sends these control characters
uninterpreted. They are interpreted by the remote host.
Before you communicate in disabled mode, ensure that the
remote and local hosts use the same control characters.
Default: DISABLE LOCAL_CHARS
DCL Format
ENABLE LOCAL_CHARS
UNIX Format
toggle localchars
8 – OPTIONS_VIEW
Enables the display of option negotiations between the local
system and the remote host during the session.
o Enabled - TELNET displays the option negotiations between your
local system and the remote host.
o Disabled - TELNET does not display the option negotiations.
This mode is suitable for most communications.
Default: DISABLE OPTIONS_VIEW
