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.
