Multiple Sessions; Multiple Sessions - Digi PortServer/8 User Manual

Multiple Sessions

Any user can use the multiple session feature if that user's port is configured to allow it. Users
logged into a host with one of the auto options ( auto port or auto user ) cannot run multiple
sessions, as this would defeat the security purpose of the Auto connections.
Multiple sessions are initiated one at a time from the command line. This is done by starting up
one session, escaping to the command line, starting another session, escaping to the command
line, starting another session and so on up to the maximum number of sessions configured for
that port ( set port sess= number_of_sessions—see page 52).
In the following examples, <TESC> refers to the telnet escape character. The default telnet
escape character is <Ctrl-]> (Control-Right Bracket), and can be changed—see page 47.
In the middle of a telnet session, you can enter:
<TESC> <CR>
<TESC> <digit>
<TESC> <TESC>
In the middle of an Rlogin session, you can enter:
<CR> ~ <TESC> <CR>
<CR> ~ <TESC> <digit>
<CR> ~ <TESC> <TESC>
<CR> ~ .
