Nortel Networks 3395 User Manual

Multisessions

5-4

893-386-B

You can override the multisessions interface and bring up the Model 3395/3395A command interface in two
ways.  You can enter the name LOCAL at the multisessions prompt, and this calls up the TS3395>
prompt.  Or, if no preferred service exists, you can press the <Return> key several times at the
multisessions prompt, which calls up the TS3395> prompt.

You can establish a second session in the first window, or in the second window.  To establish a second
session in the first window, suspend the current session and the TS3395> prompt appears on the screen.
You can then enter a terminal server connect command, such as CONNECT, just as you would at a regular
terminal.  When you establish the second session this way, it appears in window 1.

To establish the second session in window 2, press the F4 key to move the cursor to window 2.  The
“Service Name prompt=” appears at the bottom of the screen.  Enter the name of a LAT service, a Telnet
domain, or an Internet address.  Figure 5-3 shows an example of what a split screen would look like if you
entered PersonnelVAX at the “Service Name=” prompt in window 2 with an active session in window 1.

Both sessions are active in Figure 5-3, but the session in window 2 is the current session.  Once you
establish a session in a window, you can work within it just as you would on any other terminal.  If you
log off, however, the TS3395> prompt appears rather than the multisessions prompt.  If you want to
establish another session in that window, enter a terminal server connect command.
