Suspending a Session
When you suspend a session, you recall the Model 3395/3395A command interface without terminating the
connection to the remote resource.  Later, you can reopen the session and continue with your work.  To
suspend a session, press the Break key or the local switch character during the session.  (A local switch
character is a control character sequence that you or the network manager can define.  Chapter 2 explains
how to do this.)  The TS3395> prompt appears, and you can enter any terminal server command, including
the CONNECT command:
$  <BREAK>
TS3395>
The next sections show how to use the RESUME command to reopen a previously suspended session.
Using Session Numbers
Each time you establish a session, the terminal server software assigns it a session number.  The session
number appears in a display line right above the logon banner of the remote host.  In the previous example,
the session number for the connection to FINANCE.SUN.COM was 1:
TS3395  -010-  Session 1 to FINANCE.SUN.COM established
You can use session numbers with several terminal server commands when you switch among different
sessions, view the status of sessions, and disconnect from sessions.
Establishing Multiple Sessions
The terminal server command interface allows you to establish two or more sessions simultaneously.  You
can then switch from one session to another without disconnecting from either of them.  You can switch
sessions with terminal server commands, or define session switching characters for this purpose.  Most
ports support up to four simultaneous sessions, and the network manager can enable a port to support up to
sixteen simultaneous sessions.
To establish a second session, suspend the current session with the Break key or the local switch character
and enter a connect command to establish the next session.  You can then suspend that session and go back
to the previous session.  The SHOW SESSIONS command displays all of your active sessions and their
session numbers.  The display is similar to this one, for a user named Johnson, with three active sessions:
