Connecting via

Multisessions on
terminals/PCs
Note: At this point, check the host table again for correct
entries, then check the network connection and host
machine you're connecting to.
While in session to the host machine, you can return to the
communications server by using a hot key. This is user-
defined, but defaults to ^]. Press this key and the
Connections Menu is displayed. To resume your connection
select the host session you were on (notice that the name of
the host is now displayed where *** FREE *** was). Press the
key to bring up the Connection pop-up menu, then
select the Resume Connection option.
Note: If the ^] did not work, you might have a conflict with
that character sequence and should check the Keys section
of this port.
When logging out of your session the connection is
automatically closed.
IOLAN+ 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 section 8,
Other Devices Setup .
IOLAN+ 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 (e.g. 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).
