Establishing a Connection Using an
ANSI Compatible Terminal Emulator
The ANSI terminal standard allows access to IRC from most standard terminal
emulation applications.
Configuration Guidelines
The following are general guidelines for using ANSI terminal emulation
programs to access Remote Console.
Display Settings
Display font — If the display font of your terminal application can be
configured, choose a font that supports the OEM (Original Equipment
Manufacturer) character set. The “terminal” font is usually a good choice. If
your terminal application is configured for a non-OEM-based font, some of the
graphic line-draw characters used in the Remote Console menu system may not
be drawn correctly.
Terminal settings
Terminal Size — If the terminal size of your terminal application is
configurable, set it to the maximum number of lines to be displayed on the
server console. For Netware and Unix applications, 25 lines is the appropriate
setting to ensure that all lines on the server console are visible on the remote
terminal. Windows NT, however, switches to a 50-line mode during OS load
and during “blue-screen” error conditions. To insure that this information is
also visible on the terminal, set the terminal size to 50 lines. The terminal size
setting within Integrated Remote Console must be set to match the setting of
your terminal application to function correctly.
■
Line Wrap — Make sure your terminal application is configured to wrap
lines that exceed terminal width. This is the default in most terminal
applications.
■
Backspace key mapping — Some terminal applications allow the
backspace key to either be mapped to Backspace (Ctrl+H) or Delete.
Make sure that Backspace is mapped to Ctrl+H and not Delete.
