TCP/IP AX3000 User's Manual  35 
- Overscan (available only for a colour monitor): an overscan colour is 
selected by setting this parameter to 'yes' and by using the keys <+> and 
<-> (64 colours available). 
- Colouring Mode (available only for a colour monitor): this feature can be 
disabled or enabled in standard mode (5 colouring attributes) or in 
enhanced mode (16 colouring attributes). For more information, see 
Chapter 5.1.5. 
- Colouring Mode Settings (available only if the colouring mode is 
enabled): this dialog box allows to change the colour (foreground and 
background) associated with video attributes (normal, reverse, 
underscore, etc). 
- Session Label: this character string (10 characters max.) is used to 
identify the session on the AX3000 TCP/IP status line or when no session 
is connected (see Chapter 4.1 - 'idle screen' explanation). 
3.5 - AUXILIARY PORTS 
The AX3000 auxiliary ports can be controlled: 
- through a network service (lpd, tty, prt5250, etc). The management of the 
three auxiliary ports is independent of the active screen session. 
- by escape sequences (transparent mode). This provides compatibility 
with applications running on serial terminals. 
Note: unlike the parallel port, which is self-configuring, the two serial ports must 
be set (transmission rate, handshake, etc) before they can be used.
