flush start character disable 
Enables forwarding of the accept start character into 
the network. 
flush start character enable 
Disables forwarding of the accept start character 
into the network. 
initial send binary <binary> 
Sets the accept tunnel Initial Send text allowing for 
binary characters. <binary> = string in binary format 
that will be sent out the network upon connection. 
Within [] use binary decimal up to 255 or hex up to 
0xFF. 
Sets the accept tunnel Initial Send text. <text> = 
ascii string that will be sent out the network upon 
connection. 
Disconnects the active accept mode tunneling 
connection. 
Sets the port to use for accept mode tunneling. 
<number> = number of the port to use. 
Removes the accept tunnel AES decrypt key. 
Removes the accept tunnel AES encrypt key. 
Clears the RSA/DSA certificate selection. 
Discontinues sending email alerts upon establishing 
an accept mode tunnel. 
Discontinues sending email alerts upon closing an 
accept mode tunnel. 
Removes the accept tunnel Initial Send string. 
Enters the next lower level. 
Uses SSH protocol for accept mode tunneling. 
Uses SSL protocol for accept mode tunneling. 
Uses TCP protocol for accept mode tunneling. 
Uses TCP protocol with AES encryption for accept 
mode tunneling. 
Uses Telnet protocol (with IAC) for accept mode 
tunneling. 
Displays the current configuration. 
Displays the last 20 commands entered during the 
current CLI session. 
Displays tunnel accept status. 
start character <control> 
Sets the accept mode start character. The character 
may be input as text, control, decimal, or hex. A 
control character has the form <control>C. A 
decimal value character has the form \99. A hex 
value character has the form 0xFF. 
tcp keep alive idle time <milliseconds> 
Sets the TCP keep alive idle time. This is the initial 
keep alive timeout. <milliseconds> = timer value, in 
milliseconds. 
tcp keep alive interval <milliseconds> 
Enables TCP keep alive for accept mode tunneling 
and sets the value for timeouts subsequent to the 
initial timeout. <milliseconds> = timer value, in 
milliseconds. 
tcp keep alive probes <number> 
Sets the number of TCP keep alive probes. 
<number> = number of TCP keep alive probes.
