Terminal Emulation

The Georgia SoftWorks Windows NT/XP/2000/2003 Telnet Server will work with any RFC 854 compliant 3rd party client and the GSW SSH2 Server with SSH2 compliant 3rd Party clients.

Correctly implemented Terminal Emulations allow connectivity from a large variety of clients  ranging from RF Devices to Network Enabled Terminals to UNIX clients and more!

When using 3^rd party clients, comprehensive and correctly implemented terminal emulations are a must not an option!

* As supported by the terminal emulation mode

Flexible Emulation Selection - Details

Selecting the terminal emulation is as simple as responding to a prompt. Even better is automatic selection by pre-configuring  a logon script which eliminates all prompting. 

 

Flexible Graphics Character Selection and Support - Details

The Georgia SoftWorks SSH2Telnet Server provides flexible options for handling graphic characters. This is very useful as  third party clients do not always handle graphics characters and commands as expected.

 

Color or Monochrome Presentations - Details

Some applications are developed for monochrome monitors or terminals. Obtain  the best results by configuring the SSH2 and Telnet server to provide  either a  monochrome or Color presentation.

 

Color Re-Mapping - Details

Modify your application colors so they are easy to read on a gray scale device without any source code changes! Easily re-map your application colors to fit a customer's color scheme without changing the source code.

 

Automatic Logon - Details

Pre-configure a list of IP addresses that will be able to connect and log on without any User ID, Password or Domain prompting when using 3rd Party Clients. This feature is useful in many situations, however the real power is realized when coupled with the Session Saver and/or used with RF Devices allowing for fast and easy connection establishment. 

 

ALT KEYS - Details

Many applications take advantage of the ALT key, however many keyboards and terminal emulations do not support the ALT key. The Georgia SoftWorks SSH2 Server and Telnet Server allow the ALT key sequence to be transmitted by providing a substitute key sequence for the ALT key.

 

ESC Delay - Details

The Georgia SoftWorks SSH2 and Telnet Server is able to distinguish if an ESC character is part of an escape sequence or simply an Escape Key. Third party clients will send escape sequences on certain occasions. For example when a function or arrow key is pressed a sequence of data is transmitted that starts with the escape character (0x1b). This must be distinguished from the times when the user simply presses the ESC  key on the keyboard.

 

Display Character Translation - Details

You may have a special situation or advanced application where it would be useful to translate characters sent to the terminal to a different character or string of characters.  Normally you do not need to get familiar with this section however the capability is present for advanced requirements. This feature allows you to translate (or replace) the characters the user will see on 3^rd Party Clients and RF Terminals when using the Georgia SoftWorks SSH2 Server and Telnet Server. You may translate a single character to one or more (up to 10 characters) other characters
