Virtual Device Name prefix
This parameter specifies a prefix for the automatically-generated virtual device
name. The device name on the host starts with the prefix, specifies the terminal (as a
number), and specifies a session number (as a letter). For example, if the virtual
device name prefix is TLX, the first session on terminal number 2 receives a virtual
device name of TLX0002A.
The prefix must use the SNA Type A character set, which includes uppercase letters
A-Z, numbers 0-9, and the special characters $, #, and @. Lowercase letters are
accepted and translated to uppercase characters. An SNA Type A character string
must not begin with a number.
Auto-telnet
This parameter enables you to disable or enable automatic connection of telnet
sessions from terminals to this host.
The choices provided are: Disable and Auto-telnet. The default value is Disable.
When Auto-telnet is disabled, telnet sessions from the terminals to the host must be
initiated manually from the terminals.
When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 initiates one telnet session from each termi-
nal whose terminal number is mapped to this host. Additional telnet sessions may be
initiated from each terminal to the host, but they must be initiated manually.
When Auto-telnet is enabled, the 9150 will automatically telnet to the host, both on
startup and when the session is closed.
Note: Auto-telnet sessions are only initiated for terminals which are “online”
(turned on and operating properly on the Teklogix RF network).
Auto-telnet Host
This parameter contains the host name or IP address for the host to which the 9150
connects Auto-telnet sessions.
Note: A host name placed in this textbox must be “resolvable” by the 9150:
the 9150 must be able to obtain an IP address for it. For example, the host
name may correspond to an entry in the 9150’s host table, or the 9150
may be able to query a domain-name server. Any host name which can be
used at the terminal’s TCP> prompt may be used here.
