2.3Tips for Using Multiple Sessions

•You can display data from two sessions at the same time by dividing the screen into two windows. Press CtrlF4 (Session) or Ctrl Caps Lock 0 kpd to change the window configuration.

• When you choose Display Framed windows, you can assign

session for the window title bar.

The first 12 characters of the session name become the session icon name. If the title is a valid host or service name, a terminal server will try to automatically open a connection to that service.

•If you allow a session to be updated from the host, when new data is received that has not been displayed, the session icon at the top of the screen blinks.

•To enable two or more sessions to use the same settings, configure either one, then use Copy settings from in the session menu to copy the desired settings to other sessions.

•You can control the number of pages of display memory available to each session from Set-Up by using the Pages per session...

dialog. The typical terminal has nine pages total. Before you increase pages in one session, you may need to reduce the pages assigned to other sessions. Any data on pages affected will be erased.

•If the session context between the terminal and host is lost due to a power failure or other interruption, you can usually restore thea 30-character name to each

previous session context without starting over by pressing F4 or Caps Lock 0 kpd.

•The terminal automatically enables session management when you assign more than one session to a single comm port.
