Configuring terminal and printer port parameters
8
The Default Destination field specifies the system for the device connected to the
port. How you define the Default Destination depends on the type of device and the
port options that are enabled or disabled.
* You can only use a system name here if a DNS server has been configured on the DTC
For information on switching, automatic connection, and dedicated printers, see
“Enable terminal or printer port options parameter definitions” on page 101.
Initialization String Enter up to 16 ASCII characters to specify the initialization string. Non-displayable
ASCII characters are specified in caret-character (^character) format. For example,
specify ^M^J for Ctrl-M and Ctrl-J. The literal caret (^) and backslash (\) are
escaped with a backslash. This field is optional and the default is empty.
If specified, the initialization string is the string to be sent to the connected terminal
or printer port immediately after one of the following tasks:
• resetting a port
• closing a session on a host and returning to the DTC user interface
• logging into a system and typing the escape from data transfer character
• establishing a connection to the DTC user interface for modem connections:
the initialization string is sent when all the modem signals are up.
