Emulation Tab

The Emulation tab selects the terminal emulation and all of the options associated with that emulation:

This selection box contains a list of the terminal types that the emulator supports. Choose the emulation that you know works best with the application being setup. Some of these emulations are really emulation families. For example, the VT525 is a color superset of the VT series of terminals. If your application works well with one of the VT terminals, such as the VT220, VT320, etc., then VT525 is the emulation you should use.

Enter the value of the TERM environment variable that you normally use for the terminal type that you selected from the Emulation list. When you change the emulation, a reasonable default will be supplied here. However, you may change it to whatever works best on your host/server system.

The Rows and Columns selection boxes contain a list of the valid screen sizes available for the terminal type you have chosen. These values are defaulted to the “normal” screen size, such as, 24 rows by 80 columns.

The Foreground and Background selection boxes contain a list of the colors available for the default foreground and background colors of the terminal screen.

This selection box contains a list of character sets that the current emulation supports. The default character set defines which character set will be used to display international (8 bit) characters, unless changed by the application under program control.

This selection box controls the code page that will be used to turn 8 bit characters entered on the keyboard into the appropriate value to be sent to the server. The default setting will be dependent on the emulation and your PC’s default code pages set up when you installed Windows 95. The USER SPECIFIED setting should only be used under the direction of FacetCorp support staff.

This selection box will contain choices for popular alternatives to the default keyboard for a particular terminal emulation. For example, if your emulation is set to VT525, you may select between the default VT525 PC keyboard, and a keyboard more compatible with VT220 applications that are expecting a VT keyboard with PF1, PF2, PF3, and PF4 keys. This setting causes F1 through F4 on the PC keyboard to send the sequences normally sent by PF1 through PF4 on the VT keyboard.

This selection box will contain a list of any user defined keyboard mapping files with the extension .fwk found in the “userkey” directory under the FacetWin installation directory on the PC. The keys in the shift states specified in this file will send the user defined sequence instead of the default for the terminal. The application cannot override the user defined sequence.

Check this box if you want the emulator to use a National Replacement Character Set.

If you have enabled the use of National Replacement Character Sets, this selection box will allow you to select the language of the replacement character set. The USER SPECIFIED setting should only be used under the direction of FacetCorp support staff.

On some terminals, it is an option to have the terminal automatically wrap to the beginning of the next line when reaching the end of a line. Check this box to have autowrap turned on. The default setting is to have autowrap on.

On some terminals, it is an option to have the terminal automatically scroll the screen when going to the next line after the last line. Check this box to have autoscroll turned on. The default setting is to have autoscroll on.

Check this box if the server you are communicating with uses a “half duplex” communication path which requires the terminal to echo the characters that a user types rather than having the server echo them. This is usually not the case with UNIX systems. The default setting for this option is off.

Check this box if you would like for the Ctrl C key to perform a copy to the Windows clipboard. Note that you must have an area of the screen marked in order to perform a copy. You should be sure that the host/server application does not use this key before dedicating it to this use. The default setting for this option is off.

Same function as the “Ctrl C is Copy Key” option except that it determines the effect of the Ctrl Insert key. The default setting for this option is off.

Check this box if you would like for the Ctrl V key to perform a paste from the Windows clipboard. Note that there must be text on the clipboard in order to perform a paste. You should be sure that the host/server application does not use this key before dedicating it to this use. The default setting for this option is off.

Same function as the “Ctrl V is Paste Key” option except that it determines the effect of the Shift Insert key. The default setting for this option is off.

Check this box if you would like for the Ctrl A key to copy the entire screen to the Windows clipboard. There is no need to mark the selection area when doing a “Copy All.” You should be sure that the host/server application does not use this key before dedicating it to this use. The default setting for this option is off.

Check this box if you would like for the Ctrl P key to perform a screen print. You should be sure that the host/server application does not use this key before dedicating it to this use. The default setting for this option is off.
