To avoid having to configure the terminal every time you open it, you have 

2 options to save the configuration as shown in Figure 4.   

 

a.

 

Click “Save As” and save the connection settings as a file that you can 

share or store on the computer 

 

b.

 

Click “Save As Default” to change these settings to the default 

settings when starting the program. If you are running off the CD this 

option will give you an error as there is no default file.
