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.
