Purpose

Use the AYT (Are You There) subcommand to query the existence of the connection.

Parameters

There are no parameters for this subcommand.

Usage

• You can use the AYT subcommand to check for the existence of a TELNET connection. For example, if you feel that a command is taking longer than it should to complete, issue the AYT subcommand to test whether the connection is still active.
• If the connection exists and you are operating in transparent mode, the terminal makes a sound. If you are operating in line mode, you receive a message from the TELNET server.
