Terminal page provides settings
for the terminal emulation see the fig below. And each of the settings will
be described in this section.
Connect Status
To select that the connection is On Line or Local. Unless in very special cases, should always set connection status at On Line model. In Local mode, the keyboard codes won't be sent to the host, KoalaTerm just gives local echo to your input.
Terminal Width
To select either "80 columns" or "132 columns" for the terminal. The default is 80 columns. When you change the terminal width during a session, the terminal content will be erased, and the display font will be changed if you specify separate font for 132 columns mode in "Display" page.
Page arrangement & History lines
To select what kind of the pages for the terminal and how many buffers for the terminal history. There are totally 6 kinds of page arrangements. The default is "24 Lines, 6 Pages" and the 800-lines buffers.
Sequence Control
To select the sequence for the terminal either Interpret or Display. In Interpret mode, KoalaTerm interprets control sequences from the host and change the terminal screen accordingly. Control sequences are not invisible in this mode. In Display mode, all control sequences are displayed and not interpreted, this is used when you want to debug the host application.
Control Character
To select either "7-bit" or "8-bit" control for the characters of the terminal. The default is "7-bit" control. This option affects the way KoalaTerm sends out control characters. KoalaTerm accepts both 7-bit and 8-bit control characters. Some host may be requiring one way or another, then you have to adjust this option to satisfy the host requirement.
Auto Wrap
When KoalaTerm receives a text line longer than the terminal width (80 or 132) it can either just display the first 80 or 132 characters or wrap the rest to the next. When you found something lost in your screen, you might want to enable this option.
Local Echo
If "Local Echo" enabled, all characters send to the host will be displayed on the terminal screen. This might result double display for some characters when the host sends the characters back to terminal as shown in the following fig. The default is "No Local Echo".
Save Everything
Sometimes the host application sends a bunch of text to KoalaTerm and before you can really look at those text, it erases them. In this case you might want to enable this option. When enabled, KoalaTerm saves everything into the history buffer (scroll-back buffer) before the screen is erased by host application.
Terminal ID
To select what type of the terminal you are going to use: VT420, VT320, VT220, VT102, VT101, or VT100 (see Fig.5). The default is "VT220". Actually KoalaTerm acts the same way no matter what type of terminal ID you choose, Terminal ID is sent to the host so the host may treat the session differently.
Mouse Support
KoalaTerm supports use of the mouse inside the terminal screen area. When the mouse button is clicked or released, KoalaTerm will report the event and the mouse position to the host, so the host application can take advantage of it to make some operations easier, like text highlighting or menu selection. Fig.6 shows the supported mouse. Default settings is "None Mouse Support".
Answer Back Message and Hide
Sometimes your host sends an inquiry to your terminal window asking for terminal ID, in this case you should answer back in this frame. In addition if you don't like other user view your terminal ID, check Hide.
