Station ID
Type a unique station identifier (up to 16 characters) to use for the communication session associated with this path. If you're not sure what to type, contact your system administrator. Each Station ID should be unique within the entire network.
If you're using Connection Manager and data appears in this text box, the path is a single connection path. This text box is dimmed if data appears in the Pooled Station IDs list box.
EBCDIC Datastream
Select this option to have the printer session negotiate an EBCDIC datastream for printing. If you clear this option, the printer session will negotiate an ASCII datastream.

Line Width
Click the number of characters that should appear in a line of text sent from the host.
This should match the number of columns handled by your terminal emulation session or printer. For example, if you set the Line Width to 80 but your terminal emulation session is configured for 132 columns, only 80 characters will appear in each line of your terminal emulation session; the remaining characters will wrap to the next line.
Auto Select
Select this option to have TCP-A select the appropriate terminal emulation type. If you clear this option, you must click a terminal emulation type from the adjacent list box.
If you’re using Attachmate’s TCP/IP transport and T27, select Auto Select. However, if you’re using a different TCP/IP transport or emulator, clearing this item and manually selecting the terminal emulation type might enhance the performance of TCP-A.
Session Type
If you clear Auto Select, click the type of terminal to emulate.
