Path Tab (A Series TCP Transport Path Options)

Getting there

Select Paths in the left pane, then click Add.
Select TCPA from the list of path templates and click OK.
Click Configure.
Configure any required changes in the TCP/UDP Path Options dialog box, and click OK.

Under Connection type, select TCPA.
Select an existing path (or, click + to add a new record).
The TCPA configuration tabs are displayed in the lower portion of the window.

Workstation

Station ID	Type a unique station identifier (up to 16 characters). Each Station ID should be unique within the entire network.
Use ID Manager	Select this option if you use ID Management through the centralized management server.
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.
Device type	Select the type of device the PC emulates while using this path.
Line width	Select click the number of characters that should appear in a line of text sent from the host (80 or 132). 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.

Session Type

Auto select

Select this check box to have TCP-A select the appropriate terminal emulation type automatically. When this option is cleared, you must select a terminal emulation type from the adjacent list.

If you use T27 or the T27 viewer, select Auto select. If you use a different emulator, clearing this option may enhance the performance of TCP-A.

Session Modes

Invisible	Select this option to keep the cursor in the same position when you transmit data to the host. Selecting this option is equivalent to the ?+i command; clearing this option is equivalent to the ?-i command.
Scrolling	Select this option to scroll the screen automatically as data is received from the host. When this option is cleared, any data that extends beyond the end of the page is not visible. Selecting this option is equivalent to the ?+s command; clearing this option is equivalent to the ?-s command.
Transparent	Select this option to have the transport ignore any control codes in the host data while the session is in nonforms mode. If you clear this option, control codes in the host data will be in effect while the session is in nonforms mode.
Transparent on 1st character	Select this option to have the transport ignore any control codes in the first character.
Send Telnet keepalive (NOP) every N minutes	Enable this option to prevent sessions from timing out.
