Step 5. Selecting "Disconnect" in the Connection menu on the telnet screen (1 in Figure 12-3)
breaks the connection with the 4294A, then you select "Quit" in the Connection menu to
quit telnet. (In a UNIX environment, typing
causes the telnet prompt to appear, so typing quit at the telnet prompt breaks the
connection with the 4294A and quits telnet as well.
NOTE
Two transfer modes are available in telnet.
In line mode, pressing the Return key sends characters entered up to that time to the
4294A. That is, characters are sent line by line. Thus if you make a mistake in typing a
command, you can correct it by use of the Backspace key.
In character mode, a character typed is sent to the 4294A, that is, characters are sent one by
one. Thus if you make a mistake in typing a command, it has already been sent, so you
cannot use the Backspace key any longer to correct your mistake.
If telnet you use is an application in which you can choose between transfer modes, choose
one according to your situation. For example, in the case of telnet in a UNIX environment,
typing
telnet prompt, type either mode line (to choose line mode) or mode character (to
choose character mode) and press the Return key to decide on which mode to use.
