Terminal

This page provides settings for terminal emulating.

Connect Status To select that the connection is On Line or Local. Unless in very special cases, you should always set connection status at On Line mode. In Local mode, the keyboard codes won't be sent to the host, KoalaTerm just gives local echo to your input.
Terminal Width To select either "80 columns" or "132 columns" for the terminal. The default is "80 columns".
When you change the terminal width during a session, the terminal content will be erased, and the display font will be changed if you specified separate font for 132 columns mode in "Display" page.
Page arrangement & History lines To select what kind of the page for the terminal: "24 Lines, 6 Pages"; "25 Lines, 5 Pages"; "36 Lines, 4 Pages"; "48 Lines, 3 Pages"; "72 Lines, 2 Pages"; or "144 Lines, 1 Pages", and how many buffers for the terminal history.  The default is "24 Lines, 6 Pages" and the 800-lines buffer.
Sequence Control To select the sequence for the terminal either Interpret or Display. In Interpret mode, KoalaTerm interprets control sequences from the host and change the terminal screen accordingly. Control sequences are not invisible in this mode. In Display mode, all control sequences are displayed and not interpreted, this is useful when you want to debug the host application.
Control Character To select either "7-bit" or "8-bit" control for the characters of the terminal. The default is "7-bit" control. This option affects the way KoalaTerm sends out control characters. KoalaTerm accepts both 7-bit and 8-bit control characters. Some host may be requiring one way or another, then you have to adjust this option to satisfy the host requirement.
Auto Wrap When KoalaTerm receives a text line longer than the terminal width (80 or 132), it can either just display the first 80 or 132 characters or wrap the rest to the next line. When you found something lost in your screen, you might want to enable this option.
Local Echo If "Local Echo" enabled, all characters send to the host will be displayed on the terminal screen. This might result double display for some characters when the host sends the characters back to terminal. The default is "No Local Echo".
Save Everything Version 3.2: Sometimes the host application sends a bunch of text to KoalaTerm and before you can really look at those text, it erases them. In this case you might want to enable this option. When enabled, KoalaTerm saves everything into the history buffer (scroll-back buffer) before the screen is erased by host application.
Terminal ID To select what type of the terminal you are going to use: Vt420, VT320, VT220, VT102,VT101, or VT100. The default is "VT220". Actually KoalaTerm acts the same way no matter what type of terminal ID you choose, Terminal ID is sent to the host so the host may treat the session differently.
Mouse Support Since version 3.13, KoalaTerm supports use of the mouse inside the terminal screen area. When the mouse button is clicked or released, KoalaTerm will report the event and the mouse position to the host, so the host application can take advantage of it to make some operations easier, like text highlighting or menu selection. Now only Linux host is supported. Default settings is "None Mouse Support".
