Mark this box with an x or X to have the DTC enable the switching or connecting
from the port to different systems. Each port can have switching enabled or disabled
independently of the other ports on the board. Switching must be enabled for the
terminal to access more than one system. If switching is enabled, the terminal user
can connect to any system on the LAN by typing one of the following commands at
the DTC prompt:
DTC> connect IP address
or, if a DNS server is configured on the DTC, enter:
DTC> connect system-name
The user is then connected to the specified system.
By default, switching is enabled. If switching is disabled, you can only connect to
the default destination that is defined in the Port Parameters Configuration screen
on page 92.
Mark this box with an x or X to enable a printer on this port to be available only to
the system identified as the default destination. The default destination field is
defined in the printer port parameter configuration screen.
If the dedicated printer option is enabled, the default destination port parameter
must be defined with a system name or IP address. If you want several systems to
access this printer, then disable the dedicated printer.
If the dedicated printer option is disabled and the default destination is defined, the
default destination will not be accessible to the printer port.
By default, the dedicated printer is disabled.
Mark this box with an x or X to enable automatic connection from this port to the
system identified as the default destination. The default destination field must be
defined in the Port Parameters Configuration screen. The connection is made as
soon as the modem signal is emitted.
By default, automatic connection is disabled.
If you have set modem behavior to None in the modem port parameter configuration
screen, the automatic connection option is not available to you.
