3. Destination Port Number
Default port number of Telnet server to connect to. The Well-Known-Port for Telnet (#23) is the default.
4. Telnet TN5250 Disconnect Option
‘0’ (the default) uses normal TN5250 disconnect processing. ‘1’ forces a Telnet disconnect whenever
TN5250 mode is ended.
5. Minimum Response Time Option
Forces a minimum amount of delay before sending a response to the host. Used to force a more “human”
response time. Specified in hundreths of a second, the default is zero. (0-999).
Some TN5250 servers do not correctly queue inbound data from the TN5250 terminal when a bracket state
change or bracket change direction is pending. Setting a minimum response time allows the TN5250 server
to handle the bracket change before receiving the next inbound data from the terminal.
This is primarily a problem if the host sends a bracket state change or bracket change direction in a separate
RU.
6. Keyboard Type
‘3’ or ‘5’. If specified as ‘5’, the following 5250 keys will be enabled: CMD, ROLL-UP, ROLL-DOWN,
FIELD-MINUS, FIELD-PLUS, HELP, FIELD-EXIT, HEXADECIMAL and MODE. If specified as ‘3’,
sending these keys will cause an Invalid Attention Key error
. See the “Key Table Sequence for
VDT/Keyboard Config” for more information
.
7. Attribute Type
‘3’, ‘5’ or ‘A’. If specifed as ‘5’, 5250 style attributes will returned. ‘A’ will cause PC Support AS/400
style attributes to be returned. ‘3’ will cause 5250 attributes to be translated to 3270 style attributes.
DIALOG requires 3270 style attributes.
8. SysReq Option
‘0’ (the default) will cause normal 5250 terminal handling of the SysReq function: an enterable line will be
displayed in which the user can enter a command which is sent on the SS-LU flow. In typical AS/400
configurations the user can press enter, sending a null message on the SS-LU flow, in response to which the
AS/400 will display the “System Request” menu. ‘1’ will cause the null message to be sent immediately
when the SysReq key is hit - this matches the behavior of many 5250 emulators.
9. Message Line Option
‘0’ (the default) causes an extra line in the presentation space to be reserved for the error/message line for
those terminal models that support a separate message line. ‘1’ will suppress the separate message line
when the terminal is in 27x132 mode, and ‘2’ will always suppress the separate message line. When the
separate message line is suppressed, the last line (line 24 or 27, depending on the mode) is used.
