Making A Network Host Connection

To connect to a network host node, select TCP/IP in the Type list box. The Connect To box will display the available devices on the network. Select the name of the device required or enter the host name or IP address. If the session was created using the Connection Wizard and the Host Rollover On Connection Fail option was selected, you can specify up to three more hosts in the boxes below. The emulator will attempt to connect to each specified host in turn until one is successful.

Clicking the Telnet Options button will display a dialog box with additional options. These are described in the Getting Started chapter.

Clicking the Connect button or the name of the host in the Connect To list box twice will cause the emulator to attempt to connect to the specified host. If a connection cannot be made because the network driver is not installed or the host node name is invalid, an error message will indicate this. Failure to connect for any other reason will result in a Connection Failed message.

Making A Modem Host Connection

For a modem connection, click the Modem button then click Advanced to display configuration options. Refer to the Modem Connection Settings section in chapter 2 for details. When you have made the relevant selections, click OK then Connect.
