Screen Scroll — Make sure that screen scroll is enabled. Again, this is
the default in most terminal applications.
Modem settings
A majority of IRC connection problems are actually caused by improper
configuration of the modem on the management console. If your terminal
emulation application supports TAPI (like HyperTerminal), the application
should configure the modem correctly using information in the Windows
modem database. If your terminal emulation application directly accesses the
modem in the management console, make sure the modem initialization strings
in the management console place the modem in the following state:
■
Computer to modem serial port speed to “fixed” (&B1 or \J0)
■
DCD serial port signal assertion to “normal” (&C1)
■
Modem responds correctly to DTR assertion (&D2)
■
Computer to modem serial port set for “hardware flow control”
■
Error correction “enabled”
Chapter 6 contains additional information on the settings listed above.
Limitations
Many aspects of IRC accommodate any ANSI terminal emulation application.
There are, however, some limitations to be aware of when operating IRC from
these applications. These include:
■
Screen Size — The screen size of the terminal window must be
manually configured in both the terminal application and IRC.
■
Keyboard Support — Attention key sequences will usually need to be
used to simulate keystrokes for the function, Alt, arrow, and editing
keys (Page Up, Page Down, Home, End, Insert, Delete).
