Screen Connection Name ----
Choose a name for the screen you wish to configure. Up to 24 screens may be configured. To make additional screens, click the New Screen button. You can also duplicate and delete screens form this dialog.
Connection Route ----
From this drop-down list box, select a configured route to be used when the screen is opened. If additional routes are required, use the Configure button on any screen tab.
Configure Connections: Click this button to configure the routes, open IDs. and virtual destinations required to connect to a host
NOTE Each
screen in use should have its own configured route.
SEE How
to Configure Connections for help with configuring host connections.
When complete, use the Connection Route drop-down list box to link a newly configured route to the selected screen.
Initial Transmit Type ----
BlueZone UTS emulation provides three modes of transferring data from the terminal screen to the host processor: VAR (Variable), ALL, and CHAN (Changed). The current transmission mode is set in the XMIT() field in the terminal control page. Most host programs expect the terminal to be operated in the VAR transmit mode. If your application requires an initial mode other than VAR, set it here and BlueZone UTS will initialize the XMIT() field with that value.
VAR (Variable)
ALL
CHAN (Changed)
Screen Options ----
Force UPPERCASE: Checking this box causes BlueZone UTS to translate lower case characters that are typed to their uppercase equivalents.
Mapper Look: Check this box to set BlueZone UTS for “Mapper Look and Feel” processing. With Mapper Look checked, four of the display characteristics of BlueZone UTS will change as follows:
If a line contains an ASCII Tab Code in the first column, that line is considered a “Tab Line”. Tab codes are displayed using the graphic vertical bar (|) that produces a visual column separator for your report.
The only control characters displayed will be the Start-of-Entry (SOE), the standard Tab Code, and the Mapper Tab Code. Characters such as Form-Feed and Line-Feed are displayed as spaces.
A protected field (function key name on the last row of the Mapper screen) can be transmitted by clicking with the mouse. This is compatible with the function key lines produced by Mapper 2200 level 35.
BlueZone UTS will also support special Mapper box drawing sequences sent from the host.
NOTE When
Mapper Look is used, the Mapper station must be configured as a terminal
type of “PCE” with an option of “S” (Mapper Look and Feel), or as a terminal
type of “6S”.
Screen Printer ----
The button in this group allows a configured printer in the printer pool to be assigned to one of three printer DIDs for the screen.
Screen Printer: Use this button to assign up to three printers for the screen.
SEE
How
to Configure the Screen Printer for
help with configuring the Screen Printer.
Printer Timeout: Use this text box to specify how long the emulator will wait for additional print data before automatically closing the printer. The default is 15 seconds.
-1 (or any negative value) = No timeout,
0 = Timeout immediately after printing,
n (any positive number) = Timeout n seconds after printing.
Trace On Start Option ----
The controls in this group determine what trace activity is to take place, if any, when the screen is first opened.
None: When this option is set, no tracing activity will take place.
To Window: When this option is chosen, a separate trace window will open to display the trace.
To File: This option will cause the Emulator TraceFile dialog to open when the screen is opened. In this dialog, enter the text file name for the trace file. The trace file is normally stored in C:\Documents and Settings\<username>\Local Settings\Temp directory and will have a .txt extension.
To Both: Select this option to trace to a window and file.
