An Introductory Guide To TeleNet Commands

An Introductory Guide To TeleNet Commands

I don't know how many of you use TeleNet to call this system (or other systems) but I thought this might come in handy for those that do.

Some basic info about TeleNet commands. To enter a TeleNet you must be at the TeleNet prompt "@". You can get there two ways:

1) When you first dial TeleNet you will be at the prompt
2) When connected to a system via TeleNet you can return to TeleNet command mode by typing "@" (See note A.)

Once you get to the prompt here are some of the commands available to you and a brief description of what they do.

Command Function

C xxxxxxx Connects you to a specific host or terminal.
STAT Display network port address.
FULL Set full duplex
HALF Set half duplex
DTAPE Prepares the network for bulk file transfers.
CONT Return to transfer mode from command mode.

BYE or D Disconnects you from the currently connected host.
