You may define custom screen display and keyboard functions of a terminal when you configure a new mvTerm client session, or you may change the settings in an existing mvTerm client session file.
Perform these steps to (re)configure an mvTerm client session, (and to save those session properties, if desired):
Launch the mvBase Terminal Emulator (mvTerm) application.
From the mvBase Terminal Emulator screen, select Session.
If configuring a new mvTerm client session, select New, then select Properties. If configuring the current mvTerm client session, select Properties. The Terminal Properties property sheet appears, showing multiple tabs.
Change the session properties as you require. If making changes to multiple tabs, your changes are retained in each tab as you toggle to other tabs. From the Terminal Properties property sheet, you may:
Select a caret appearance
Choose a terminal emulation mode
Change function key definitions
Program mouse properties
Change terminal page size
Define an mvTerm session as an auxiliary printer
NOTE |
Some of these property definitions are mutually-exclusive. |
