Viewing and Changing Information in the Terminal Server
Databases
Databases
The terminal server maintains two files of data, or databases, that contain information about the terminal
server and the devices you can reach on the network. One is the operational database and other is the
permanent database. Information in the operational database is temporary, and remains current only until
you log out of your terminal server port. While it is current, it overrides the information in the permanent
database. You change information in the operation database with SET commands. Information in the
permanent database is constant, and remains constant unless you or the network manager change it with a
DEFINE command and you log out of your port, or the network manager initializes the terminal server.

Using UNIX Aliases for Terminal Server Commands
If you are accustomed to the UNIX operating system, the Model 3395/3395A Terminal Server offers several
UNIX equivalents of frequently used Model 3395/3395A commands. You can enter these equivalents, or
aliases, at the TS3395> prompt just as you would enter the Model 3395/3395A commands to produce the
same results. Table 3-1 shows the UNIX aliases for Model 3395/3395A commands.
