Host Connection Settings

PROIV Virtual Machine Hostname or IP Address

Enter the details of the Virtual Machine host name or the IP address. If you are working locally, enter localhost in this field.

Port

The port on which the remote host is listening for a client connection. This is usually 23 for a telnet connection. An SSL connection (a more secure connection using encryption) may use a different port.

Advanced Settings

Login via Terminal

This option invokes a telnet terminal emulator program to allow the user to login.

Use Binary Telnet

Check this box if the remote host needs to negotiate the telnet connection in binary mode. Your remote host’s system administrator should be able to provide assistance.

User Prompt

The text displayed by the remote host when asking a user to log into the operating system. This is the text that is seen if a user manually connected into that machine using the program or script entered into the Terminal Command field, before the user would enter his or her user name.

Password Prompt

The text displayed by the remote host, used to ask the user to enter their operating system user password.

Command Line Prompt

The text displayed by the remote host that indicates the connection has been successfully made, and the remote host is waiting for a command. This is usually the command prompt for the specified operating system user on the remote machine.

Timeout

The length of time (in seconds) that the Windows Client will wait between the connection attempt starting, and the text defined in the Command Prompt field being displayed after a successful login. If this time is exceeded, the Windows Client  displays a telnet window for a manual login attempt.
