Terminal Setup
Starting a Telnet Session
At the Twin Client main menu on the terminal, press any key to establish the connection.
Until the terminal has been authorized, the following screen is displayed.

Authorized for
Twin Client
Keypress to continue…
It is not necessary to authorize the terminal at this time, so press any key to continue. The
terminal will establish a connection with the host system and start emulation.
After a Telnet session has been successfully established, the terminal will remain in
session for a maximum of 30 minutes at a time until it has been authorized. Once
authorized, there is no software restriction to the session time. The instructions for
authorizing the terminal are presented later in this chapter in
Authorizing PowerNet
.
Standard Setup
The default terminal setup is sufficient for most installations. However, to meet site-
specific requirements, it may be necessary to customize terminal operation. The standard
setup options simplify this process and can be modified by the following methods:
•
Using the Twin Client Manager.
•
Using the Twin Client terminal menu system.
This section describes how to use the Twin Client Manager and the terminal menu system
to set up the terminal. Also described are the methods for authorizing the terminal
software.
Setup Using Twin Client Manager
The Twin Client Manager provides a Standard Settings
tab for automatic setup of the
terminals. The options within this tab vary according to the emulation selected, each of
which is described below. Click on
Standard
under the
View
option in the main menu.
VT Settings
Select the VT emulation setup by clicking on the

menu and then the
