terminal dispatch-character ASCII-number1 [ASCII-number2 . . .
ASCII-number
]
terminal no dispatch-character

To define a character that causes a packet to be sent for the current terminal line, use the terminal dispatch-character EXEC command. Use the terminal no dispatch-character command to remove the dispatch characters.

ASCII-number ASCII decimal representation of the character, such as Return (ASCII character 13) for line-at-a-time transmissions. The command can take multiple arguments, so you can define any number of dispatch characters.

To set the character dispatch timer for the current terminal line, use the terminal dispatch-timeout EXEC command. The terminal no dispatch-timeout command removes the timeout definition.

milliseconds An integer that specifies the number of milliseconds the router waits after putting the first character into a packet buffer before sending the packet. During this interval, more characters may be added to the packet, thus increasing the processing efficiency of the remote host.

terminal [no] download

To temporarily set the ability of a line to act as a transparent pipe for file transfers, use the terminal download EXEC command. Use the terminal no download command to remove this ability.

terminal escape-characterASCII-number
terminal no escape-character

To set the escape character for the current terminal line, use the terminal escape-character EXEC command. The terminal no escape-character command sets the escape character to Break.

ASCII-number Either the ASCII decimal representation of the desired escape character or a control sequence (Ctrl-P, for example).

An optional keyword specifies the direction: in causes the router to listen to flow control from the attached device, and out causes the router to send flow control information to the attached device. If you do not specify a direction, both directions are assumed.
hardware Sets hardware flow control. For information about setting up the RS-232 line, see the hardware manual for your product.

terminal start-character ASCII-number
terminal no start-character

To set the flow control stop character for the current terminal line, use the terminal start-character EXEC command. The command defines the character that signals the start of data transmission when software flow control is in effect. Use the terminal no start-character command to remove the start character.

ASCII-number ASCII decimal representation of the start character

terminal stop-characterASCII-number
terminal no stop-character

To set the flow control stop character for the current terminal line, use the terminal stop-character EXEC command. The command defines the character that signals the end of data transmission when software flow control is in effect. The terminal no stop-character command removes the character.

ASCII-number ASCII decimal representation of the stop character
