Specifies a default service for this port. The LRS will attempt to use the preferred service for Autoconnecting, as well as when no service name is specified in a Connect, Telnet, or Rlogin command. Note that via the environment string, a preferred host can be connected to via Rlogin, not just Telnet.

Restrictions
You must be a privileged user to use this command.

Parameters
PortList
Specifies a particular port or list of ports. Lists of ports must be separated by commas. Ranges must be separated by a dash.

All
Configurations made with this command will affect all ports.

None
Clears any previous preferred host.

None
Clears the current preferred service.

Telnet
Specifies that the service is a default Telnet connection. If there is no local nameserver defined, the host must be specified with a numeric hostname. Must be used in conjunction with the hostname parameter.

Rlogin
A synonym for Telnet hostname. Ports set up to use Rlogin will still use Telnet for the connection. Must be used in conjunction with the hostname parameter.

hostname
Telnet host name of 40 characters or less, or an IP address in standard numeric format (for example, 192.0.1.3).

Environment
Sets up the connection environment before the session is started. The connection configuration must be specified with the envstring parameter, discussed below.

envstring
A sequence of key letters optionally prefixed by "+" or "-." The generic key letters are:
D +D = Backspace mode, -D = Delete mode
E+E = Local Echo mode, -E = Remote Echo mode
II = Interactive mode
P+P = Passall mode, -P = Passthru mode
C+C = CR = CRLF, -C = CR = LF

For Telnet connections the following are valid as well:
TTCP mode (i.e. uninterpreted data stream)
RRlogin protocol (sets port # to 513 if not already set)
QQueued (i.e. RTEL) connection
nnnOptional port number

Examples
Local>> SET PORT PREFERRED TELNET 192.0.1.3

Local>> SET PORT PREFERRED TELNET todd
