Sessions not Terminated

Several situations can leave a session open.
• On CLI ports, the hangup command may not disconnect a
modem or a switch. On CLI login ports, a modem, telephone, or
switch disconnection (de-asserting DCD) may not terminate the
CLI connection or UNIX session. Thus, the next port user finds
a CLI connection with jobs already active and does not receive a
security prompt or receives a shell prompt without logging in.
• A port configured as autobaud may retain the baud rate of the
previous session.
• The port server session may not be terminated if you try to use
an outgoing Annex port as a front-end to another host (or to
connect to a modem or switch), and the interface at the other end
drops DCD (see Modems on page A-99 for more information on
using modems).
If any of these situations occur:
• Make sure the Annex port parameters are set correctly.
• Check the cable wiring, and pay close attention to the wiring of
the Annex's DCD, DSR, and DTR control lines.
The superuser CLI stats, tap, and control commands provide useful
information.
When changing parameters using na or admin, remember to use the
reset command after entering the new values.
