REMLOG

REMLOG (Remote Logon Client) is a process running in the UNIX environment which allows you to perform a logon to a remote environment (provided the necessary ROUTE-FILE entries have been set up).

Notes:

Only one remote connection is possible from a single terminal at any one time.
The use of REMLOG from the UNIX system console is not supported.

Modes of Operation

REMLOG has two modes of operation:

In local mode, all user input is directed to the local UNIX environment. The main purpose of local mode is to enable the user to set REMLOG parameters.
Remote mode is used to connect to a remote environment. In remote mode, all user input is directed to the remote environment.

Once you have established a connection to a remote environment, you can switch between local and remote mode.

Note: It is not possible to switch to local mode on a character mode (ACI) circuit.

Commands

Once REMLOG is running you can enter any of the following commands at the REMLOG prompt (remlog>):

!Allows execution of UNIX commands from within REMLOG.

close or disconnect
Terminates an open connection.

exit or quitTerminates any open connection and exits REMLOG.

helpDisplays a help screen.

open or connectOpens a connection to a remote environment.

remoteSwitches from local to remote mode (provided a connection is already open).

setAllows you to change user-configurable parameters.

statusDisplays status information.

Note: You can also start REMLOG and connect to a remote environment in one operation.

In addition to these commands an escape sequence allows you to switch from remote to local mode (the default is CTRL+], but you can change it if required).

Network User-Ids

When using REMLOG to log onto a remote system, you can explicitly specify a user-id (and any associated password). Alternatively, the network user-id can be supplied from the USERS-FILE. See Network User-ids. For details on setting up network user-ids see Network Security.
