Telnet

Configuring TELNET Template Parameters

When you configure a template that uses the TELNET Service Library and an underlying TCP or WinSock EIL, you will be asked to supply the following information:

Host IP Address

Enter the IP address (TCP/IP internet address) or domain name of the Distributed Communications Processor (DCP), Host LAN Controller (HLC), A Series host, DEC host, UNIX host, or other host.

Terminal Type

Select the appropriate terminal type: NVT, VT100, VT220, ANSI or Other. If you choose Other you should supply a name that will be used to identify the terminal type to the host at the other end of the connection.

Remote Echo

If you select the Remote Echo option, characters typed at the keyboard will be echoed back from the remote computer instead of being displayed directly on the screen by your application. You should choose this option only if your application requires it, since it can add considerable overhead to your response time.

Binary

If you select the Binary option, your application will be able to transmit non-ASCII data without having it translated. Check your application's documentation to see if you need to set this option.
