PASS Mode

In PASS mode, the product does not manage your sessions but passes control to the applications. Your physical terminal is connected to your applications directly and not through a virtual terminal.

You cannot issue commands when you are in a session using PASS mode because your terminal has no connection to the product. To issue commands, you must log off your application and return to the TPX Menu. Services that require you to be in communication with the product are not available to you at all, even from the TPX Menu.

If the word PASS appears in the lower right corner of your TPX Menu, you are operating in PASS mode.

Note: You cannot use PASS mode when using the TCPaccess Telnet Server interface.
