After selecting the Connection Type, select from the following options:

Auto-Connect Session: If selected, BlueZone auto-connects the session after the communications library has initialized.
Auto-Reconnect Session (when Deactivated by Host) in: If selected, BlueZone auto-connects the session if the LU being used is varied off on the host system while a BlueZone session is active in the number of seconds specified in the list box. 0 through 10 seconds can be selected.
Note: The LU obtained by the reconnect is not the same as with the prior session.
Prompt on Disconnect: If selected, BlueZone displays a message, "Are you sure you want to disconnect and close session?" when an attempt is made to disconnect a host session or when the BlueZone application is closed with an active host session.
Auto-Close Session on Disconnect: If selected, the BlueZone application auto-closes after disconnecting from the host system.
Connect Retry: If selected, BlueZone tries to connect to the host the number of times selected in the Retry up to list and use the interval selected in the times, retrying every list.
Note: The LU obtained by the reconnect might not be the same as with the prior session.
