Terminal Folder—VT Category
VT
In the VT category, you can set general terminal options.
Terminal Model—Lets you select the terminal model to use for the current session. This option is dimmed when you are connected to a session. To change your terminal model, you must be disconnected from the host.
|
Note: |
Use VT320 or VT420 only if you have proper termcap entries on your host system. Use SCO Ansi when connecting to SCO UNIX systems. Use Linux Console when connecting to Linux systems. |
Terminal ID—Specifies the terminal ID or Device Attribute (DA) response HostExplorer sends to the host. The Device Attribute contains the control sequences that define the terminal and its configuration and identifies the particular type of terminal to the host.
|
Note: |
If you select Linux Console as the terminal model, the Terminal ID is automatically set to VT 102. |
Communication Mode—Determines the communication mode that HostExplorer will use to connect to the host system.
- 7 Bit—Transfers all data using 7-bit bytes. By default, this option is selected.
- 8 Bit—Supports 7-bit and 8-bit data formats.
Other Options
Always Allow 8-Bit Data—Determines whether HostExplorer supports 8-bit data transfers even when NRC support is enabled. Usually the high-order bit of incoming data is stripped when NRC is enabled. By default, this option is cleared.
