Connection Parameters

CONNECTION

The CONNECTION parameter specifies the machine name where the host kernel resides, plus the protocol by which the GUI and kernel will communicate. For example: connection=tnet:"file" "machine".

The first part 'tnet:' is the protocol, which you should not change.

The second part 'file' should be set to the name of the login script. The third part 'machine' should be set to the name of the host machine. Note that 'file' can be omitted, in which case the login script will default to '<machine>.mac'. In many cases, one of the default login scripts ('unix.mac', 'aix.mac') can be used unchanged. For example, if the host machine ame is 'host1', and you decided to use the default 'unix.mac' script, then the connection option would be: connection=tnet:unix.mac,host1.

Local Host Connection

LOCALHOST

LOCALHOST is used to connect to the local Windows NT/95 Executive.

Recommended Setting

connection = tnet:null,LOCALHOST,23,10,1

Note that some machines require a binary telnet connection. To set this, add the parameters ',23,10,1' to the connection line above. See the HOST.TXT readme file for a full description of the connection line syntax.

Terminal Emulator Connection

TE CONNECTION

The TE CONNECTION parameter specifies how the GUI will communicate with a terminal emulator so that system commands run from within PROIV will be visible on the PC.

Recommended Setting (DO NOT change this option)

te connection = setup on install
