If the New Line Mode - Outbound box is checked, an outbound carriage
return to the device will always be followed by a linefeed character. If not
checked, a linefeed is not sent with a carriage return. The default value is
disabled for inbound and outbound.

Enabling and disabling line wrap

When line wrap is enabled, characters wrap onto the next line when a new

character is received and the cursor is at the end of the line. When disabled,

new characters will overwrite the last character on the current line when the

cursor is at the end of the line.

To enable/disable line wrap:

1.

Select Options - Session Properties from the menu bar.
- or -
Click the Session Settings icon in the toolbar.

2. Click

the

Terminal tab.

3. Enable or disable the Auto Wrap Line checkbox. The default value

is enabled.

Enabling and disabling local echo

When you are connected to a device that does not repeat or echo the data that

you type, you may enable local echo mode. Otherwise, DSView Telnet will not

display the text you type. However, if you are connected to a device that echoes

data, and you are in local echo mode, all of the data you type will appear on

your terminal twice.

To enable/disable local echo:

1.

Select Options - Session Properties from the menu bar.
- or -
Click the Session Settings icon in the toolbar.

2. Click

the

Terminal tab.

3. Enable or disable the Local Echo checkbox. The default value is disabled.

Enabling and disabling 7-bit ASCII

When you are connected to a device that requires transmission of 7-bit ASCII,

you may instruct DSView Telnet to strip the eighth bit of every character that is

sent and received.
