Connect; Control - Nortel 2000 Software Reference Manual

Book C Chapter 3 Using the CLI Commands

connect

The connect command uses the LAT protocol to connect to an advertised
LAT service. This command is available only if you have enabled LAT
by setting the lat_key parameter correctly. The syntax is:
connect service [hostname [port]]
If you enter the command without arguments, the connect command
returns a missing service name error. If the service to which you are
connecting requires a password, you are prompted for one. If you enter
connect with only the desired service name, the command connects to
the highest-rated service with that name. If you enter both the service
name and the hostname, connect overrides this distribution mechanism
and tries to establish a connection to that service on that host. Entering
connect with the service, hostname, and port causes the Remote Annex
to attempt to connect to that service on that port on that host.

control

The superuser control command is a diagnostic tool that allows you to
reset DTR and RTS or to output a short test message for a specified port.
Table C-44 describes the arguments for control. The syntax is:
control port [dtr– | dtr+ | rts– | rts+] | port testmsg [times | forever]
The following command example output the default message ten times
on Port 14:
annex# control 14 testmsg 10
Enter test message, or press Return for default: <cr>
