	command for restricted users who can only start sessions predefined for them by
	system administrator. If you are using telnet, the target host will prompt you for your
	login name. If you are using rlogin, the host will prompt you for your password. If
	you are using rlogin and your unit’s login name is entered in the ‘rhost’ file of the
Syntax	target login directory, you will be logged straight in.

telnet

user levels:	This command establishes a connection with another host on the network using the
admin,	telnet protocol. You must specify the target host but the other arguments (such as
normal	echo, mapnl, mode, etc.) are optional. If you do not specify the other arguments the
	line telnet values will be used (values set/shown in set telnet orshow
	telnet)
	If you do specify arguments such as echo, mapnl, mode, etc. the values you enter will
	override the line telnet values. Note that your values (specified here using the
	telnet command) expire when your telnet session is finished; values set/shown in
	set telnet orshow telnet can be saved permanently.

When the connection is made you will be prompted for your login name.

Syntax	telnet hostname/inetaddress port[termtype
	termtype]		[echo on/off] [mapnlon/off]	[mode
	on/off]		[intr <hex>] [quit <hex>] [eof	<hex>]
	[erase <hex>] [break <hex>]
Where:
hostname/		is the name or internet address of the machine you want to log into
inetaddress
termtype		is your terminal type. This argument enables you to pass your terminal
		type to the host. When connecting to a UNIX host, you must define the
		termtype in accordance with its UNIX TERM variable.

The termtype argument overrides a termtype value entered into the unit when using the set line orset telnet commands.

echo, mapnl, etc. these are telnet options. They set values once only, for the duration of a single telnet connection. See comments under telnet on page 201 above.
