Switching Between Sessions; Exiting Sessions - Lantronix SCS Reference Manual

Ports
To change the session limit, use the Set/Define Ports Session Limit command.
Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 SESSION LIMIT 6

8.6.2 Switching Between Sessions

Sessions are organized in the order that they were created. Commands or keyboard equivalents are used to
switch back and forth between active sessions. Switching to a session with an earlier creation date is called
switching backward; conversely, switching to a later session is called switching forward. Sessions are
arranged in a circular list; switching forward from the last session created will switch to the first session in
the list, and vice-versa.
The command used to switch to the previous session is Backwards. Its keyboard equivalent is called the
backward switch. To define a backward switch, use the following command:
Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 BACKWARD SWITCH \02
To specify a control character to use as a switch, use escaped hex (\xx). For example, Ctrl-B (ASCII
character 0x02) would be specified as \02.
The Forwards command is used to switch to the next session. Its keyboard equivalent, the forward switch,
as specified as follows:
Local>> DEFINE PORT 2 FORWARD SWITCH \03
The characters you define for the backward switch and forward switch should not conflict with each other
or with characters used for editing commands (see Command Line on page 2-2). In addition, the characters
should not conflict with characters used on the host.

8.6.3 Exiting Sessions

The Break key is used to suspend a session. When a session is suspended or exited, the Local> prompt will
be displayed. SCS commands can be entered at this prompt to configure the unit, start a new session, or
display information.
8.6.3.1 Breaking from a Session
When the Break key is pressed, the port will do one of three things: suspend the session and display the
Local> prompt, pass the character to the remote service, or ignore it all together (pressing the key will have
no result).
To configure the processing of the Break key, use the Set/Define Ports Break command. Break can be set
to one of the following: Local, Remote, or None.
Local>> DEFINE PORT 3 BREAK LOCAL
