The TERM field in the Port Setup Menu can be used to pass
the terminal type information to the host. The terminal type
field is local to the Terminal Server but will be passed to the
host. The TERM field can override the information being sent
to the host about the type of terminal. This allows you to
customise information being passed to the host. For
example, a user could encode the physical location into this
field (i.e. tty16) and then extract that at the host end to
determine which port the user has logged in on (i.e. port 16).
When the host and Terminal Server are connected via a
gateway router, a connection is not possible until the
gateway table has been updated with the IP address of the
local gateway machine. See section 9.7, the Gateway Menu
section of The Menu Interface .
