Telnet Console Type
The telnet section defines a telnet console session. The telnet section name
determines the name of the console emulator icon.
Valid Keys
Table 21 lists the valid key requirements, in addition to those keys listed in
Common Console Section Keys on page 89:
Key Required? Quantity Description
iotype Yes 1 The interface type—VT100, VT220,
as400perle, or hp700/92, 3270, 3278, 3278-2,
3278-3, 3278-4, 3278-5.
3270 and 3278 are treated as convenient
shorthand for 3278-2
host Yes 1 The telnet target host name or IP address.
service No 0 or 1 The service name or number (default=23).
Any port that allows telnet connections can
be used. Valid predefined services are listed
in /etc/services.
screen_buffer_
size No 0 or 1 Defines the screen buffer size for consoles of
iotype=HP700/92 that can display a window
(screen) of a larger size. Default is “500”. At
least one screen of data (24 lines) is allocated. If
the number entered is not a multiple of 24, it is
rounded up – for example, an entry of 34 is
rounded up to 48. The recommended maximum
is 960 – higher numbers will increasingly affect
performance.
PingThreshold No 0 or 1 If the MCC does not detect activity on the telnet
connection for this number of seconds, it sends
a ping. If not specified or “0”, no ping is sent,
regardless of how long the connection is
inactive. The value is rounded up to the nearest
10 seconds – for example, “PingThreshold=17”
would cause a ping to be sent after 20 seconds
of inactivity.
PingResponse No 0 or 1 If the MCC does not receive a response to a ping
it sent on the telnet connection for this number
of seconds, it closes the connection. If not
specified, it defaults to the same value as
PingThreshold. If set to “0”, the ping
functionality is disabled. The value is rounded
up to the nearest 10 seconds – for example,
“PingResponse=23” would cause the connection
to be terminated after 30 seconds without a
response.
