In the Advanced category, you can set advanced connection parameters for connecting to a TN3270 host.

TN3270 Specific—These options are valid only for non-TN3270E hosts.

Attention Key Type—Select the sequence of bytes transmitted to the host upon pressing the Attention key. Each option provides different sequences so try the one that works best with your host. The default sequence is IAC BRK (*).

Note:

The Attention Key is valid only when connected to SNA hosts.

Telnet—These options are valid for Telnet connections.

: Send Keep Alive Packets—Sends a message to the host to confirm that the session is still alive after a period of inactivity longer than the Keep Alive Timeout value.

: None—Does not send a Keep Alive packet. This is the default value.

: System—Uses the Windows TCP/IP stack Keep Alive interval.

: Send NOP Packets— Sends a No Operation packet (NOP) after the Keep Alive Timeout value is reached.

: Send Timing Mark Packets—Sends a Timing Mark packet after the Keep Alive Timeout value is reached.

: Keep Alive Timeout—Specifies the time interval in minutes to send the Keep Alive packet to the host. This option is only available when the Send NOP Packets or the Send Timing Mark Packets option is selected. The default Keep Alive value is 30 minutes.
