Connection Settings - 3270 Advanced Page

From this page, you can choose advanced connection settings for the current session.

Enter Key Interpretation (NVT Specific)

This setting takes effect only when you are in NVT mode ("NVT" appears in the OIA to signify NVT mode).

Carriage Return and Linefeed: If selected, pressing the ENTER key sends a carriage return (0x0D) and linefeed (0x0A) character.

Carriage Return: If selected, pressing the ENTER key sends a carriage return (0x0D) character.

Backspace Key Interpretation (NVT Specific)

This setting takes effect only when you are in NVT mode ("NVT" appears in the OIA to signify NVT mode).

Delete: If selected, pressing the BACKSPACE key sends a delete character (0x08).

Backspace: If selected, pressing the BACKSPACE key sends a backspace character.

TN3270 Specific

IAC stands for Interpret As Command, a control character used in the Telnet protocol. IAC tells the host that a command is coming instead of regular data.

Enable ATTN Key as IAC Break: If selected, pressing the ATTN key sends an IAC Break Telnet command. Clear this check box if your Telnet server doesn't support this feature.

Enable SYSREQ as IAC Interrupt Process: If selected, pressing the SYSREQ key sends an IAC Interrupt Process Telnet command.

Same Model for Primary and Alternate Screens: (Not available for printer sessions.) If selected, the same model type will be used for both primary and alternate screen sizes. When selected, you can use a model type other than model 2 for primary screens.

TN3270 Enhanced Protocol

Use TN3270E When Supported: If selected, your session will use the TN3270E protocol if the gateway supports it. Otherwise, either a TN3270 or TN3287 session will be negotiated. The TN3270 Enhanced protocol provides for the ability of a Telnet client to request assignment to a specific resource or device name (a specific LU on the host). It also adds support for a variety of functions such as the ATTN key, the SYSREQ key, and SNA response handling. The TN3270E protocol includes 328x class printer emulation.

Resource/Device Name: Type the name of the device, resource, or resource pool on the gateway to which a Telnet client can request assignment.

Note Although you can type a specific resource or device name in this box, the gateway must support TN3270E, and you must have already selected the option Use TN3270E When Supported.
