GETTING STARTED
This chapter describes how to configure a session and describes various display features.
WBT Session Configuration
Using The Connection Wizard
This section describes the basic procedure for creating a session configuration in WBT
mode. The options available are described in detail in the following sections.
1. Click the Configure tab in the Winterm Connection Manager.
2. Click Add. The New Connection dialog box appears.
3. Select Terminal Emulation.
4. Click OK. The Terminal Emulation Client Connection Wizard - Connection
Information dialog box appears.
5. Enter a name that identifies this session configuration in the Connection Name box.
6. Select the terminal emulation from the Emulation list box. The default emulation set-
ting is VT400, 7-bit.

1-2 Getting Started
7. Click Next.The Host Information dialog box appears. Notice that the Advanced,
Finish, and Cancel buttons are disabled until you enter a host name.
8. For a serial connection, click the Serial button, select the Serial Port, then click
Advanced for additional serial options. Make the relevant selections and then click
OK to return to the Host Information dialog box and click Finish.
For a TCP/IP connection, click the TCP/IP button, enter the name or Internet address
of the host computer in the Host Name box, then click Advanced for additional Telnet
options.

Getting Started 1-3
Make the relevant selections then click OK to return to the Host Information dialog
box, then click Finish.
NOTE: The default TCP/IP Telnet configuration type is IBM 3270. Your configuration may dif-
fer from the example above.
9. Click on the Connections tab in the Winterm Connection Manager. Display the
Connections list and select the session name you specified earlier in step 3. Click the
Connect button or double-click on the session’s Connection Name.
10. If additional configurations are required, make the relevant selections using steps 1
through 8.
Terminal Emulation Settings
Emulation Options
The Emulation options are as follows:
• The ADDS A2 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the
ADDS Viewpoint A2 terminal, as emulated by the Wyse WY-50/50+/60 terminals.
Refer to Wyse Emulations for details.
• The ANSI BBS emulation is a derivative of the ANSI device driver ANSI.SYS sup-
plied with all DOS based PCs and which provides the screen management for the DOS
console screen. PC based UNIX systems and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) often rely
on the ANSI emulation when being accessed by a PC.
• The HZ 1500 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the
Hazeltine 1500 terminal, as emulated by the Wyse WY-50/50+/60 terminals. Refer to
Wyse Emulations for details.

1-4 Getting Started
• The IBM 3270 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the
IBM 3270 terminal. Note that the initial display is an ASCII text screen known as Net-
work Virtual Terminal mode (NVT mode for short). The setting of the IBM Model
option determines the size of the display and whether or not extended attributes are
supported. Refer to IBM 3270 Emulation for details.
• The IBM 5250 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive IBM
5250 type alphanumeric terminals. This emulation can be used for connection to an
IBM AS/400, System/36 or System/38. Note that the initial display is an ASCII text
screen known as Network Virtual Terminal mode (NVT mode for short). Refer to IBM
5250 Emulation for details.
•SCO Console is an emulation of the SCO UNIX box.
• The TVI 910+, TVI 920 and TVI 925 emulations provide compatibility with software
designed to drive the TeleVideo 910+, 920 and 925 terminals, respectively, as emu-
lated by the Wyse WY-50/50+/60 terminals. Refer to Wyse Emulations for details.
• The VT52 and VT100 emulations enable you to run applications written for the DEC
VT52 and VT100 terminals, respectively. Refer to DEC VT Emulations for details.
• The VT400 7-Bit and VT400 8-Bit emulations enable you to run applications written
for the DEC VT320 terminal, the difference is in their treatment of 8-bit control codes.
When VT400 7-Bit is selected, all 8-bit codes are converted to their 7-bit equivalents,
whereas VT400 8-Bit leaves 8-bit codes unchanged. If you are using VT200 applica-
tions, select VT400 7-Bit. Refer to DEC VT Emulations for details.
• The WY50, WY50+ and WY60 emulations provide compatibility with software
designed to drive the Wyse WY-50, WY-50+ and WY-60 terminals, respectively.
Refer to Wyse Emulations for details.
DEC VT Options
The VT Terminal ID option identifies the particular terminal model being emulated in
response to a terminal identification request from the host.
IBM 3270 Options
The setting of the IBM 3270 Model option determines the display size and if extended
attributes are supported. TN3287 printing is supported by selecting 3287-1.
One of four display sizes can be selected:
•3278/9-2 24 rows by 80 columns
•3278/9-3 32 rows by 80 columns
•3278/9-4 43 rows by 80 columns
•3278/9-5 27 rows by 132 columns
