Connecting via 'fixed ttys'
Your Terminal Server has the ability to create a 'fixed tty' under Unix. This is helpful for older
or secure Unix applications that require a fixed location for each terminal. Consult

Multisessions on terminals/PCs
Your Terminal Server is capable of supporting multiple sessions. This allows the user to
connect to all four *** FREE *** sessions with different hosts and move between them using
the ^] hot key. You can also key through the screens by setting the session key (that is, If set
to ^A you would bounce through the screens with a ^A1, ^A2, ^A3, ^A4.). If you are using a
terminal that supports video pages such as the Wyse 60, the screens will be refreshed if you
set the video pages field on the Port Menu to the number of pages supported by your
terminal (for Wyse 60 = 3).
The TERM field 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 (that is, tty16) and then extract that at
the host end to determine which port the user has logged in on (that is, port 16).
Gateway Tables
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
