Connection Menu (Reflection)
The following options are available from the Reflection for HP Connection menu.
Connection Setup (Reflection)
Getting there
Terminal > Connection > Connection Setup
The options available depend on which connection type you select.
| Best network | Reflection for HP automatically selects which network protocol to use when connecting to a host. Reflection will first attempt to connect using Telnet, and then VT-MGR. Once Reflection has connected using a Best network protocol, it will make subsequent connections using the same protocol. |
| Telnet | Uses unsecured Telnet by default. Click Security to configure SSL/TLS, Kerberos, or a Socks or HTTP Proxy. |
| VT-MGR | The VT-MGR connection type provides Network Services/Virtual Terminal (NS/VT) access to an HP 3000. "Fast file transfer" to an HP 3000 is automatically invoked when using Reflection for HP with NS/VT. |
| Secure Shell | Configure connections to a Secure Shell server. Secure Shell settings are shared with Workspace sessions. SSH config scheme is optional. If you leave this blank, changes you make to your Secure Shell settings are saved to Secure Shell configuration file under the current host name, and the settings you configure are applied by default to all Secure Shell connections to this host. If you specify a scheme name, changes you make to your Secure Shell settings are saved to the Secure Shell configuration file under the specified scheme name, and the settings you configure are applied to subsequent connections whenever you specify this scheme name. |
| Connect Macro | Specify a macro that will be executed when a settings file is loaded and a connection attempt is made. |
More Settings – VT-MGR (Reflection)
Getting there
Terminal > Connection > Connection Setup > VT-MGR > More Settings
| Parity | This setting determines whether a parity bit is generated for each character transmitted. Parity is used to detect errors in data transmission; the number preceding the slash indicates the number of data bits sent. To use the multinational character set or 8-bit controls, Parity must be set to one of the values that offers 8-bit controls. If your communications link generates parity, and you set Parity to 8/None, multinational characters appear on your screen. In this case, set Parity to either 8/Even or 8/Odd. |
| Optimize Ctrl Y | Optimizes Reflection to reduce its response time when receiving a Ctrl + Y (Set Break Request). |
Connect Macro (Reflection)
Getting there
Terminal > Connection > Connection Setup > Connect Macro
| Macro Data | You can pass information to a macro by entering text in the Macro data box. Use the MacroData property within a macro to return this information. |
