AT&T UNIX PC User Manual page 43

Setting Up the Software Data Calls
For example, you could enter the host computer's login
prompt in the RS1: field, and enter the user name that
you type in response in the SSl: field. When you place
a data call to the host computer, the UNIX PC waits to
receive the login prompt, then automatically sends your
user name, logging you in. A detailed example is given
later in this chapter under "Sample Automatic Login
Sequences."
You fill in the form by using the arrow keys to
highlight the fields and typing your information. The
fields are described in the following paragraphs:
This field holds the maximum amount of time, in
seconds, for your UNIX PC to wait for data to be
received from the host computer. This field is used to
create a timeout period within which data must be
received or the line will be disconnected. This
feature can prevent wasted time on a call.
The Timer: field is optional and can contain up to
9999
seconds. If you leave this field blank, the default
timeout period is 30 seconds.
File Name
The File Name: field holds the name of a file that
records information resulting from any tasks that you
set up in your login sequence. This field is optional,
to be used if you want to capture information.
The file you name in this field is stored as a standard
file in your Filecabinet. Expert users can direct the
file to any UNIX directory by entering a full UNIX
pathname.
RSl· through RS13
The RS: fields on the left side of the menu are for
entering prompts or strings of characters that you
receive from the host computer. Some examples of
receive strings are prompts for a login name, password,
and terminal type. If the string received from the
host is too long to fit in the field, you can enter the
last few characters of the string.
