Terminal Initialization - Details

Terminal Initialization:  3rd Party Clients

 

You may have a special situation or advanced application where you need to send a specific terminal initialization sequence to a 3rd party client. Normally you do not need to get familiar with this section however the capability is present for advanced requirements.

This feature allows you to send an additional sequence of characters to the 3rd party client at the start of each session. .  You may send one or more (up to 10 per row) initialization characters to the 3rd party client.

A text file is used for specifying the initialization characters to send. The name of the global file is gs_tinit.txt and is installed in the telnet server’s root directory.   Each row in the file specifies up to ten characters to send to the 3rd party client.  The specifications of the characters are byte values in hexadecimal each separated by a single space. The ‘#’ character in the first column designates a comment line. 

Each row must start in the first column.

For example:

1b 2e 25

 

will  load the Portuguese character set into G2 for vt-220 terminal.
