[About The Guide]
10.1.2 Line settings <Alt-L>
The line settings menu contains your current communications
parameters. You cannot reach the options of this menu unless
you press <Alt-L>. Most of the options in this menu are self
explanatory, only the not so obvious options are explained
here.
BPS The current DTE baud rate. If you have
enabled the "Lock port" option, this field
will contain "Fixed" and you will not be able
to change it.
Wraparound Determines whether or not the Terminal should
place the cursor on a new line when it is
positioned at the rightmost position of the
screen and a character is received. This
should be set to On in most situations. There
are however VT100/VT52 applications that
require this setting to be Off. Note that a
CR/LF will force a new line even if this is
set to Off.
CR expansion Determines how a received CR character should
be processed. If set to CR, no expansion is
made. If, however, it is set to CR/LF, the
Terminal will expand all received CR
characters to CR/LF.
Local echo Some on-line services do not echo the
characters you type. It may be necessary to
enable this option to see what you are
typing. If the on-line service you are using
does echo the characters you type and you
enable this option, you will get duplicated
characters. Eg. "HHEELLLLOO!!".
Emulation Allows you to choose between ANSI, VT100,
VT52 and TTY (no) emulation. Note that the
default for ANSI emulation is to support
AVT/0+ (AVATAR/0+). This is a Terminal
emulation protocol designed by G. Adam
Stanislav. It is extremely fast and very
efficient.
Translation tables
If enabled, the Terminal will use the
Terminal translation tables to filter any
received characters.
Auto-Zmodem downloads
The Terminal monitors received characters for
the special sequence a Zmodem transmitter
sends when a Zmodem file session is started.
If it detects this start-up sequence, it will
automatically invoke the Zmodem receiver. If
you disable this option, you must use <Alt-G>
(Download) to receive files using the Zmodem
protocol.
Allow AVT/0 sequences
Determines whether or not you want to accept
AVT/0+ emulation sequences when you are in
ANSI emulation. Since AVT/0+ is based upon
certain control characters, you may want to
disable this option if you are using programs
like Doorway, etc. which frequently transmits
control characters.
Clear on Form Feeds
Determines whether or not the Terminal should
clear the screen when receiving a Form Feed
(FF, ASCII 12) character from the remote.
Interactive EMSI
Determines whether or not the Terminal should
attempt to establish IEMSI sessions with
systems you call. IEMSI is completely
transparent and should not cause any
problems. IEMSI is described in a separate
section.
