In the NVT category, you can set options that determine how HostExplorer interprets the Enter key and Backspace keys, as well as how HostExplorer stores characters in the buffer.

Enter Key Interpretation—Determines whether pressing the Enter key will send a Carriage-Return (CR) or Carriage-Return Linefeed (CR-LF) sequence command to the host.

: Carriage Return and Linefeed—Sends a CR-LF sequence command to the host when you press the Enter key. A CR-LF sequence command refers to sending a blank line to the host and then positioning the cursor at the beginning of the next line. By default, this option is selected.

: Carriage Return—Sends a CR sequence command to the host when you press the Enter key. A CR sequence command refers to positioning the cursor at the beginning of the next line.

Backspace Key Interpretation—Determines whether pressing the Backspace key will send a true Backspace character or the Delete character command to the host.

: Delete—Sends a Delete character to the host upon pressing the Backspace key. This involves moving the cursor back one character and deleting that character. By default, this option is selected.

: Backspace—Sends a true Backspace character to the host when you press the Backspace key. This involves moving the cursor back one character without deleting that character.

Keyboard Buffer Mode—Determines how HostExplorer stores characters in a buffer until they are sent to the host.

: Character Mode—Forces HostExplorer to send each character immediately to the host. By default, this option is selected.

: Line Mode—Forces HostExplorer to send characters one line at a time until you press the Enter key. This is useful when trying to reduce costs on networks that charge per packet, or when dealing with long network delays.
