The 3270 emulation program enables you to specify the following options:
Whether you want to use monochromatic or color display on your terminal
Whether or not an audible signal (beep) is produced to indicate errors while you are using 3270 emulation
Whether the 3270 emulation program's status line is displayed on the terminal's status line (if one is available) or on a separate line
Whether the status line is displayed when you start the 3270 emulation program
The Motif version of the program always uses color, and has no separate terminal status line, so it ignores the options related to color and separate status line.
To specify these miscellaneous options for your terminal, choose Miscellaneous from the Customize menu.
The 3270 emulation program displays a dialog box with the following check boxes:
Mark this check box if you want to use color display, or leave it unmarked if you do not want to use color display. The check box is not selectable if your Solaris computer or terminal does not support color.
The color display option you use determines the colors that can be displayed during a 3270 emulation session. If you change the setting, or attempt to use a style file set up for a color terminal on a mono terminal, the colors displayed during a 3270 session are affected.
The Motif version of the program ignores this option; color is always supported.
Mark this check box if you want audible signals to indicate errors, or leave it unmarked to suppress these signals.
The audible signal occurs (for example) when you type too many characters for the keyboard buffer to hold, when the host sends a signal to the 3270 emulation program to indicate that an error has occurred, or when you use a PF key that already has a key sequence assigned while recording a new sequence. This option does not affect the audible signals that are produced when you make an error in the menus and dialog boxes of the 3270 control interface; these cannot be disabled.
If the terminal you are using has the facility to allow programs to write to its status line, mark this check box if you want the 3270 emulation program's status line to be written to the terminal's status line. Leave the check box unmarked if the terminal does not support this, or if you do not want to use it (for example, so that you can view both status lines). For more information about how the 3270 emulation program displays its status line, see Status Line Information.
The 3270 emulation program checks this option only when a session is started. If you change it while a session is enabled, the change does not take effect until you stop and restart the session.
If your terminal does not support writing to the status line, the emulator ignores this option. For more information about whether your terminal supports this option, contact your System Administrator, or refer to the Installation chapter in the SNAP-IX TN3270 Administrator's Guide.
The Motif version of the program ignores this option; there is no separate terminal status line.
Mark this check box if you want the status line to be always
on
when you start the program, or leave it unmarked if you want the
status line to be displayed only when there is a condition leading to a Do
Not Enter or Communications Check message.
You can switch between the two modes while the program is running by using the STAT TOG (Status Line Toggle) key. For more information, see Status Line Information.
