There are a number of system tuning parameters which you can manually insert
in the ITERM.INI file in the Windows directory. These parameters allow
certain default characteristics to be modified.
System Wide Changes
System wide changes can be made by adding or changing an entry in the [System.Settings]
section of the ITERM.INI file. The parameters that can be changed are listed
below:
Display Host Address
This entry allows you to disable the display of the IP host address or
gateway in the Operator Information Area of the screen. The default is
On. For example:
[System.Settings]
Display Host address = Off
Attn Format
This entry allows you to change the sequence used to send the SNA Attention
signal to the host system. IBM’s PC/3270 uses a different format than other
companies. If you want to use the IBM format,then use the following switch:
[System.Settings]
Attn Format = 1
Printer Font
This entry allows you to change the default printer font used to print
the keyboard template from Times New Roman to any True Type font of your
choice. For example:
[System.Settings]
Printer Font = Arial
Max Winsock Receive Size
This entry allows you to change the default receive size issued to the
TCP/IP stack. By default, IntelliTerm uses a 20,000 byte block to receive
data. You can lower this value to solve problems in low memory situations.
For example:
[System.Settings]
Max Winsock Receive Size = 4096
Prompt on Close Windows
By default Distinct IntelliTerm will warn you if you try to close the application
and a session is currently open. If you do not wish to be prompted before
the program closes, enter the following line in the [System.Settings] section:
[System.Settings]
Prompt On Close = Off
Large Toolbar
By default, Distinct IntelliTerm uses fairly small icons which are easily
readable up to 800x600 resolution. However, at 1024x768 and higher, the
icons get somewhat small. To use the larger set of icons in the toolbar,
add the following line to the [System.Settings] section:
[System.Settings]
Large Toolbar = On
You can also change the size of the buttons dynamically by right-clicking
the toolbar and clicking the Large Icons checkbox. The toolbar is resized
automatically as soon as you click OK.
Modify Tracing File
By default, the tracing file is created in the root of the current drive
as ITERM.TRC. To change the location and name of the trace file, add the
following line to the [System.Settings] section:
[System.Settings]
Trace Filename=F:\TESTPATH\NEWFILE.EXT
Allow NumLock Maps
By default, the plus and minus keys in the keypad area cannot be remapped
when the NumLock key is toggled on. To allow these keys to be remapped
even with the NumLock toggled on, add the following line to the [System.Settings]
section:
[System.Settings]
Allow NumLock Maps=On
Type Ahead Timeout
By default, the Type Ahead will automatically timeout waiting for the host
system to unlock the keyboard after 45 seconds. You can change this timeout
by entering a new value in seconds using the following option in the [System.Settings]
section:
[System.Settings]
Type Ahead Timeout=xx
Capture OIA
By default, the Operator Information Area (OIA) is also saved to the file
when the Save Screen function is executed directly or via the dialog box.
You can prevent the system from saving the OIA by adding the following
line to the [System.Settings] section:
[System.Settings]
Capture OIA=Off
Display Field Info
By default, the system updates the Numeric Field and Operator Selectable
Field indicators in the OIA every time the cursor is moved. If this causes
too much overhead on your machine, (i.e. cursor movement appears slow),
then disable it by adding the following line to the [System.Settings] section:
[System.Settings]
Display Field Info=Off
Maximum Sessions
By default, a user can allow up to twenty-six concurrent sessions with
Distinct IntelliTerm. You can further the amount of sessions to a lower
value by adding the Maximum Sessions line to the [System.Settings] section.
Replace x with a value from 1 to 5 (inclusive).
[System.Settings]
Maximum Sessions=x
Host Language Support
You can change the host language after installation by changing the language
name in the [System.Language] section. The valid language names are: USEnglish,
UKEnglish, Swedish, AustrianGerman, CanadianFrench, and Norwegian.
For example:
[System.Language]
Language = Swedish
ReRun Auto Quick-Key
By default, the Auto Quick-Key is executed when a session is initially
created. It is also re-executed when the session is recreated using the
“Auto Reconnect” feature. To prevent this from occurring, add the following
line to the profile that you wish to disable the feature. For example,
if the profile name is MVS, then search for the [MVS] section and add the
ReRun Auto Quick-Key=Off line somewhere.
[...profile name...]
ReRun Auto Quick-Key = Off
