Three types of connections
There are 3 types of connection you can establish from TeraTerm macro:

- Telnet connection (port 23)
- SSH1 or SSH2 connection (port 22)
- Connection via COM port

Telnet connections
or
or

Using /nossh is strongly recommended. Without this parameter TeraTerm will start connecting with the same method (telnet or SSH) that was used during last time when teraterm.ini file was saved. In case it was SSH than macro will try to connect via SSH and will eventually fail.

SSH connections

This way will start SSH connection without defining whether SSH1 or SSH2 has to be used.

or

Parameters /1 and /2 force to use SSH1 or SSH2 method.

Above 6 ways allow to skip popup dialog and pass username and password directly from macro. Please note that /auth=password or /auth=publickey is the parameter saying that authentication will be done by entering password or key-file thus you should not replace the word 'password' or the word 'publickey' in it with actual values. Only the words shown above with italic font have to be substituted.

Please remember that entering actual username and password in TeraTerm macro will cause them to be stored as an open text and it is your responsibility to keep such macros in secure place.

A little bit better practice is to use getpassword and passwordbox commands that store encrypted passwords in the file.

Above 6 ways pass username and authentication method directly from macro, and the popup asks for password.

Connections via COM port

Here x represents COM port number. For example to connect via COM port 1 the command will look like: connect '/C=1'

About setsync
It is highly recommended to use the macro command

right after the command connect. This command switches TeraTerm into synchronous communication mode in which the buffer never overflows. See TeraTerm Macro help for more details.

For example =>

inputbox 'COM PORT Number :' 'Serial COM => '
connect 'C=inputstr' /B 115200

Note : It is giving Error to me

Connections via COM port
Quote:
connect '/C=x'

Here x represents COM port number. For example to connect via COM port 1 the command will look like: connect '/C=1'

Hi,

You must understand how to use a string variable. Please consult some sample code, like ssh2login.ttl.

And your code
is not a valid parameter of teraterm. Please see the manual of command line options.

Hi

I'm trying to use a connect command but it does not work for me

it is the first line in my macro:



of course I have a real Ip address instead of xxx's

once I try to open a macro, my terra term opens and after 2 seconds I have a message saying : invalid host.

any idea what am I doing wrong?

Does it work in "manual" mode without macro?

I linked it to the main terra term program instead of ttpmacro.

Now I linked the macro files with ttpmacro and it works fine.

Sorry, my mistake

Yeah! I had the same problem, but you solve it.
