Move between cascaded Telnet sessions

After you start a cascaded Telnet session, press the SysRq key, and press Enter to display the System Request menu.

The System Request menu provides you with the following options:

Table 1. Options provided by the System Request menu
System Request Option	Action	Description
10	Starting a system request at a client system	Displays the System Request menu on the previous client system
11	Transferring to the client system	Transfers you to an alternative job on the previous client system
13	Starting a system request at the home system	Takes you from an intermediate or end system to the System Request menu of the home system
14	Transferring to the home system	Takes you from an intermediate or end system to the alternative job on the home system
15	Transferring to the end system	Takes you from an intermediate or home system to the end system.

To bypass the System Request menu, press the SysRq key and type 10 on the command line. This shortcut is applicable between iSeries™ servers only.

For non-IBM Telnet clients

You might drop a cascaded Telnet session when you try to use System Request options 10, 11, 13, or 14. For options 10 and 11, the client PC is the previous system. For options 13 and 14, the client PC is the home system.

Your Telnet client is compatible, if it passes these two tests:

You return to the home system after using options 13 or 14.
You do not drop a session when using options 10 or 11 from the home system.

For incompatible clients, follow these steps instead of using System Request options 10, 11, 13, or 14:

Use System Request option 11 to move backward from system to system until you reach the home system. The home system is the first iSeries to which your Telnet client connected at the beginning of the session.
From the home system, use System Request option 1 to move forward from system to system.
