Connection

Telnet

Select to use your desktop as a virtual terminal over a TCP/IP connection.

When Telnet is the selected protocol, you can configure secure connections using Kerberos or SSL/TLS.

Secure Shell

Select for secure, encrypted communications between a trusted host and your system over an insecure network. When you select Secure Shell, all connections between your system and the remote host(s) are encrypted, protecting the data sent between these machines.

Rlogin

Select to use your desktop as a virtual terminal over a TCP/IP connection.

Enter Host (or System) Name or IP Address

Identify the host to which you will connect. Type the host name, alias, or numeric IP address.

NOTE:Both IPv4 addresses (in the form 127.0.0.1) and IPv6 addresses (in the form 2001:0db8:3c4d:0015:0000:0000:abcd:ef12) are accepted.

Port

Type the host port or socket number that the session should use. This field accepts any number between 0 and 66,535 (default = 23).

User Name

Type a name that identifies you to the host.

This option is enabled only for Secure Shell or Rlogin connections.

SSH configuration

Type a descriptive name to label these connection settings, making them available for use with other sessions.

If you leave this field blank, and make changes to any secure shell configuration, InfoConnect saves the configuration scheme using the value from the Host name/IP address field. (See SSH Configuration Schemes.)

Terminal Type

Select the terminal to emulate. This specifies the codes generated by the numeric keypad, the interpretation of control functions, and the response to terminal identification requests. (Values under Terminal automatically reset when you choose a terminal type.)

  • Up to 16 colors

  • Shading with selected patterns and polygon fill

  • Rubberband cursors

  • Rotated and italicized characters

  • Mouse support

  • A scaled graphic showing the complete ReGIS screen (800x480 pixels) on the physical display
