Session Options/Terminal
From SecureCRT
A session is a set of options that are assigned to a connection to a remote machine. These settings and options are saved under a session name and allow the user to have different preferences for different hosts.
To close a Telnet or other type of communication connection between a client and a server.
A data path or circuit between two computers over a phone line, network cable, or other means.
A data path or circuit between two computers over a phone line, network cable, or other means.
The second version of the SSH protocol which provides a way to encrypt network traffic between a client and a server, with a slightly different set of security features than the SSH1 protocol provides.
Telnet is a protocol that provides an interface for communications between clients and servers.
Terminal
The Terminal category of the Session Options dialog allows you to configure general session options for the selected session.
Audio bell
Check this option to have SecureCRT emit an audible sound when a bell character is received. This option is on by default.
Visual bell
Check this button to have SecureCRT flash the session window when a bell character if received. This option is off by default.
Check this button to have SecureCRT automatically close the session window after disconnecting from the remote machine.
Clear on disconnect
Check this button to have SecureCRT automatically clear the session window after disconnecting from the remote machine.
Auto reconnect
Check this option to automatically reconnect to a remote machine when a connection is terminated.
Minimize to Activator in the system tray
Check this option to enable the SecureCRT Activator, which allows you to minimize the session to the system tray instead of the task bar. This can be useful if you have a number of sessions running or if you only use SecureCRT to port forward your connections to another machine. See Using the Activator for more information about this feature.
Jump scroll
When this option is off, each line is scrolled off the screen one at a time. When Jump Scroll is on, up to a full screen can be scrolled off the screen at once. When viewing a large volume of data from the remote host, turning on Jump Scroll can significantly enhance performance.
Scroll to clear screen
Many applications send an escape sequence to clear the screen. When this option is turned on, the current screen's data is scrolled into the scrollback buffer prior to clearing the screen.
Scroll to bottom on output
Check this button to have SecureCRT automatically scroll to the bottom of the incoming data when new data is received, as long as the session is scrolled back less than a screen length. If this option is turned off, you must scroll back at least one page in order to not be scrolled back to the bottom on output.
Scroll to bottom on keypress
Check this button to have SecureCRT automatically scroll to the bottom of the incoming data when a key is pressed.
This group contain controls designed to prevent your connection from being closed due to a lack of network traffic between SecureCRT and the remote machine.

For a listing of special octal and escape codes that can be included as part of the sent string, see the table of ASCII Control Codes and the table of Send String and Function Key Commands.
· Enter how often you want the string sent in the associated every n seconds entry box. The default value for this option is 300 seconds; the minimum is 10 seconds.
Send protocol NO-OP every n seconds
Check this box to send a NO-OP instruction to the remote machine on a regular basis.
· Enter how often you want the NO-OP sent in the associated every n seconds entry box. The default value for this option is 60 seconds; the minimum is 10 seconds.

Selection group
Set word delimiter characters
By default, SecureCRT uses all non-alphanumeric characters as word delimiters when selecting an entire "word" with a double-click action as described in Selecting Text in the Terminal Window. You can modify the word delimiter characters by entering your personal word delimiter characters in this entry box. Do not separate the entries with spaces or any other character.
