Terminal Settings

Host character set

Select the 3270 or 5250 host character set you want to use. This setting chooses a conversion table to convert host characters (EBCDIC) into PC characters (ANSI). This setting should match the national character set used by your host system. If it doesn't match, then some characters, such as accents, may not display correctly. See your host documentation for definitions of the characters in each set. The default value is US English (037).

Country extended graphics code (3270 only)

With this option selected (the default), additional characters are available in the configured National character set. See your host documentation for details

Terminal type (VT)

Specifies which terminal should be emulated. These choices affect the codes generated by the numeric keypad, the interpretation of control functions, and the response to terminal identification requests.

Terminal ID (VT)

Specifies the response that Host Access for the Cloud sends to the host after a primary device attributes (DA) request. This response lets the host know what terminal functions it can perform. This setting is independent of the terminal type setting. When set to the default value of Reflection, Host Access for the Cloud responds to a primary DA request with the set of features it supports. If your host requires a more specific terminal ID, select another value from the list.

New line (VT)

Select this option to send both a carriage return and linefeed when you press Enter. When Host Access for the Cloud receives a linefeed, form feed, or vertical tab, it moves the cursor to the first column of the next line. When this option is cleared (default), the Enter key sends only a carriage return. A linefeed, form feed, or vertical tab received from the host moves the cursor down one line in the current column. If lines on the display keep getting overwritten (that is, the host is not sending a linefeed along with a carriage return), select this option. If the New line option is selected but the host does not expect to receive a linefeed with each carriage return, lines will be double-spaced on the display.

Host character set (T27)

Using this option you can specify host to screen translation. Select the language used to convert characters received from the host before they are displayed on the local machine. The default is No translation.
