These options control how the host sends display information from DOS applications to the remote computer. They affect DOS sessions only.

Synchronize Display With Host: Slows down the speed of application running on the host to match the rate at which the remote can receive and display all incoming screen data. If this option is disabled and an application running on the host performs frequent screen updates, such as scrolling through text, some of the display lines may not appear on the remote screen. If the speed of an application is more important than a complete display of all characters, (such as with a lengthy database indexing procedure), disable this option.

Allow Blinking Characters: Displays flashing text characters correctly. Disable this option if you do not want to support the blinking text attribute, or if it causes unstable display performance.

Translate Monochrome Attributes: Select this option if you have a color host and a monochrome remote. This allows the remote software to make an educated guess as to which colors should be displayed as black-on-white or white-on-black. Disable this option if incorrect characters appear on a monitor using a Hercules adapter in RAM-font mode.

Full Graphics Support: Displays DOS graphics programs on the remote display, as accurately as possible. Disable this option if speed is more important than a full graphical display. When this option is disabled, the host sends a subset of the screen data that approximates the graphical host display.

Host Security Options dialog box

The Security options specify host security features that affect various aspects of host operation before, during and after remote computing sessions.

Lock This PC When Waiting For A Call: Check to prevent use of the host computer while it is waiting for a remote computer to dial in.

Allow Any Password On Reconnect To Session: Permits any valid user to log in after a session has been accidentally disconnected. When this option is disabled, if a remote user is accidentally disconnected by loss of phone connection, inactivity timeout, or user error, the host ignores all login attempts except those of the last user. This gives the disconnected user priority access and protects sensitive data that may have been left on the host display

Require Login Names for Callers: Requires remote users to enter a host-assigned login name, as well as a password, when connecting to the host.

NOTE:  Checking and unchecking the Require Login Names checkbox affects previously established caller IDs.

Blank Host PC Screen After Connection Made: Disables the host display during a remote session. This option enhances the security of an unattended host.

Make Passwords Case Sensitive: Requires remote users to enter passwords using the correct placement of uppercase and lowercase letters.

Log Failed Connection Attempts: Causes the host to create an activity log file, accessed using the Utilities menu, with information on unsuccessful connection attempts.

Prompt on Connection: When checked, sends a message to the host operator that a connection is being requested by a remote. The host user responds to a Yes/No prompt to determine whether or not to allow the connection.

Timeout: The number in the textbox represents how many seconds the host user has to respond to the Yes/No prompt.

Disconnect if Timeout: If checked, the remote user is disconnected if the host user fails to respond with Yes within the specified timeout period.  If unchecked, the remote user is automatically connected after the timeout period has lapsed.

Data Encryption: Enables data encryption for the host for all data transmitted during a remote control session.

Required to Access This Host: If checked, the host only accepts calls from remotes running Norton pcANYWHERE for Windows, version 2.0, or Norton pcANYWHERE for DOS, version 5.0.  This eliminates the risk of data being transmitted without encryption.

NOTE:  Both the host and remote must have Norton pcANYWHERE for Windows, version 2.0, or Norton pcANYWHERE for DOS, version 5.0, to use encryption.

Maximum Login Attempts per Call: Enter the number of times the user can attempt to login correctly. The default is 3, while 0 indicates an unlimited number of attempts.

Time To Enter Complete Login: Enter the number of minutes the host waits for a valid login name. If a login is required, the user has up to the value specified in this field to enter it correctly. By default, pcANYWHERE waits for three minutes.

Disconnect if Inactive for: The remote user is disconnected when no screen data has changed or no keystrokes have been entered for the number of minutes specified.


Host Operation General command (Configure menu)

The Host Operation General command is one of three Configure Host commands accessed from a cascading menu. Use this command to set options that determine a variety of host-related options, such as whether the host should reboot after each session, or minimize while waiting for a call.

This command displays the Host General Options dialog box.

Host General Options dialog box

These additional options affect various aspects of host operation before, during, and after remote computing sessions.

Delay Before Callback Attempt: Specifies how many seconds the pcANYWHERE host waits before performing a user callback. Enter a value between 5 and 9999.

Reboot After Session: This option reboots the host computer whenever a remote session is disconnected. If this option is disabled, the state of the host computer remains as it was at the end of the last remote session. If a remote session is accidentally disconnected by loss of phone connection, inactivity timeout, or user error, the application last in use and its data would be available to the next caller. Rebooting automatically upon disconnection resolves this potential security problem.

No: Does not reboot the computer.

This is useful if you are using the host to connect to a mainframe where you can start a job, end the remote session and come back to check on it later.

Yes-Coldboot Always: Always initiate a BIOS-level reboot upon end of remote session.

Use this if you must reboot, such as after editing the CONFIG.SYS file on the host or to ensure that a connection is not left active.

Yes-Warmboot Always: Always initiate a DOS-level reboot upon end of remote session.

Yes-Coldboot if Connection Lost: Initiate a BIOS-level reboot if connection is lost accidentally.

If you are filling out a form on a mainframe and are disconnected, this will prevent you from accidentally sending an Enter to the mainframe which may process the form when you restart the mainframe session.

Yes-Warmboot if Connection Lost: Initiate a DOS-level reboot if connection is lost accidentally.

TIP:  If you frequently perform remote tasks with long processing times, such as operations on large database files, you may want to specify No or Yes-Warmboot If Connection Lost. This allows you to end the current remote session after starting the extended procedure without interrupting the procedure. Later you can establish a new remote session to check progress, without disturbing the running procedure.

Keyboard/Mouse Active: Select which keyboards and mice are active during remote computing sessions.

Host and Remote: Permits input from both host and remote keyboards. This allows interaction between the host and remote user. Remote and host users share keyboard control.

Host: Ignores input from remote keyboard after connection. Remote user has no keyboard control of host computer. Use this setting for automated sessions or technical support sessions during which remote input is disruptive.

Remote: Ignores input from host keyboard. Remote user has complete keyboard control.

Minimize When Waiting For A Call: Check this to specify that Norton pcANYWHERE appears as an icon when it is waiting for a connection.

Start Host with Windows: Check to start the host when the Windows program is activated.


Host Operation DOS TSR Options command (Configure menu)

The Host Operation DOS TSR Options command is one of three Configure Host commands accessed from a cascading menu. Use this command to set options for the DOS terminate-and-stay-resident (TSR) program.  This TSR allows remote users to maintain or begin a connection for a session without running Windows.

This command displays the DOS TSR Setup dialog box.

Defining Caller Information

Setting the Master Password


. This check box increases the level of host security by requiring a remote caller to use both an assigned login name and a password. If you decide to use login names, the login name you assign for each caller must be unique, but the password does not have to be unique. It could even be one that is assigned to another caller.

When login names are not required by the host, the passwords assigned to each caller must be unique. If the host has configured remote callers with a login and a password, and then unchecks the Require Login Names checkbox, a conflict could exist with duplicate passwords, because only the login name had to be unique. To avoid this conflict, the host utility uses the previously assigned login name as the remote's password whenever this checkbox is unchecked.


DOS TSR Setup dialog box

Use the DOS TSR Setup dialog box to control how the DOS Host TSR should operate.

Options

Advanced Graphics Mode Detection: Detect and display non-standard graphical information from DOS applications. This option slows down data transmission, so use it only when necessary.

Allow Screen Scan While Host Busy: Allow pcANYWHERE to scan the host screen at regular intervals and update the remote screen in DOS sessions. Disable this option only if it creates a conflict with an application running on the host. In rare instances, a program conflict may prevent a remote user from logging in.

Allow Use Of Remote Mouse: Allow the remote user to use the mouse in DOS sessions.

Allow Remote Drive Mapping: Allows the remote computer to map its drive to the host. This in turn allows you to use files on the remote as though they were actually on the host.

Maximize Display Speed (Needs More RAM): Use advanced data compression to increase the speed of the display of graphics applications in DOS Host sessions.

Use Smallest TSR Version: Use a smaller version of the DOS Host TSR. This version eliminates logging, error correction, and connection status (if no hotkey is specified). To further reduce the size of the TSR, uncheck the Allow Use Of Remote Mouse and Maximize Display Speed (Needs More RAM) boxes and set the host hot key to <None>.

Load Into High Memory: Allows the host to load as many segments of the host TSR as possible into upper memory blocks.

Time Between Host Screen Scans (55 ms steps): This value controls the refresh rate of the screen. Enter number of milliseconds between host screen scans. Each scan updates the remote. Decreasing this value makes the screen refresh smoother but slows down the session.

Special Keyboard Handler Type: Select the support for applications, such as terminal emulation programs, that communicate directly with the host keyboard. Without this support, some or all of the keys in this type of program may be disabled in the remote session. If special key combinations are required, select Type 1 or Type 2.

Type 1: Most memory-intensive.

Type 2: Less memory-intensive; may not work on all machines.

None: No special keyboard handler is used.

Host Hot Key: Specifies the hotkey that will bring up a menu of host options while online.

Use this dialog box to configure the selected emulation to control the display of data, cursor movement and to set the break length. The dialog box name matches the name of the selected emulation.

Line Wrap: This setting determines how your monitor displays lines that exceed the width of the terminal display window. Check to advance the cursor to the first column of the next line, when the cursor reaches the last screen column (column 80). If this option is disabled, the cursor stays in the last column.

Screen Wrap: This setting controls what happens when the entire screen is filled with characters and more characters need to be displayed. Check to advance the cursor to the top of the screen and overwrite the first line, without scrolling the display. If this option is disabled, the display scrolls and the new line appears at the bottom of the display.

Destructive <BS> Key: Moves the cursor to the left as it deletes a character. This works like sending a destructive backspace code (127). If this option is disabled, the backspace key simply moves the cursor to the left. This works like sending a non-destructive backspace code (08).

Translate Receive CR to CR/LF: Moves the cursor down one line after processing the carriage return code. If this option is disabled, the cursor moves to the first position on the current line.

Break Length: This text box specified the length of the break signal used to interrupt applications running on a mainframe or minicomputer.

ACS (asynchronous communications server), defined
ACS (asynchronous communications server)
A communications server that manages a pool of modems. It directs outgoing messages to the next available modem and directs incoming messages to the appropriate workstation. See also asynchronous transmission.


ANSI (American National Standards Institute), defined
ANSI (American National Standards Institute)
An organization of industry and business groups that develops voluntary U.S. standards for trade and communications. In pcANYWHERE, this refers to terminal emulation that enables the use of ANSI commands (escape sequences) to control the screen and keyboard. These escape sequences have been standardized by ANSI.


asynchronous transmission, defined
asynchronous transmission
A way of transmitting data at irregular time intervals in which information is sent one character at a time. Each character contains a start bit, followed by a number of data bits and ending with a stop bit. This is the common method of communicating using a modem. Contrast synchronous transmission.


baud rate, defined
baud rate
The number of times per second a signal changes in a communications channel. The term baud is often erroneously used to describe the speed at which the modem can transfer data. The correct measure for data rate is bits per second (bps).
A baud can vary in the number of bits it can represent. For example, a 300-baud modem that transmits one bit per baud (300 x 1) is also a 300-bps modem. However, what is often called a 1200-baud modem is really a 300-baud modem that transmits four bits per baud (300 x 4) or 1200-bps. See also bps and data rate.


BBS, defined
BBS

Acronym for bulletin board system, a computer system that serves as an information and messaging center for a group of users who can dial in and connect using a modem and communications software. Generally, users of a bulletin board share a particular interest.


blank, defined
blank
With regards to a computer screen, a verb meaning to clear or not show an image on the screen. You can configure a pcANYWHERE host to blank the host screen once a connection has been made. This enhances the security of an unattended pcANYWHERE host.


blink, defined
blink
With regards to a computer screen, the flashing on and off of a displayed character, such as a cursor. You can configure pcANYWHERE to disable blinking characters if you do not want to support the blinking text attribute, or if it causes unstable display performance.


bps, defined
bps
Abbreviation for bits per second, a measure of the speed at which a device such as a modem can transfer data. Also known as data rate. Compare baud rate.


break length, defined
break length
In terminal emulation, this is the length of a break signal used to interrupt a program running on a mainframe or minicomputer. This is different from the CTRL-C or CTRL-BRK used by PCs. In pcANYWHERE, you can specify the length of the break signal individually for each terminal emulation you are using.


break signal, defined
break signal
A special signal used to interrupt whatever program is currently running and returns the user to the operating system, or some earlier level of a menu hierarchy.


cable, defined
cable
A group of wires enclosed in a protective tube, usually an organized set of wires that correspond to specific pins on 9- or 25-pin connectors located at each end. A cable is used to connect peripheral devices to each other or to another computer. In remote computing this can refer to a cable used to connect a computer to a modem, or a cable that connects two computers directly, sometimes called a null modem cable.


cache file, defined
cache file
In pcANYWHERE, a file used to improve the performance of Windows. The cache is established on the remote computer and is used to hold Windows' bitmap data. If the bitmap data is in the cache when a Windows screen is redrawn, the data does not have to be resent, which results in better performance.


callback, defined
callback
In pcANYWHERE, when the host receives an incoming call it can check the caller's password against the information stored in the Caller list. If the caller's password appears in the Caller list, the host hangs up, dials the caller and establishes a connection. This method is useful when communications lines must be available to outside users but data must be protected from unauthorized intruders.


carriage return(CR), defined
carriage return (CR)
A control character that tells a computer to return to the beginning of the current line. A separate character, the linefeed character (LF), advances the cursor to the next line. Because carriage return is often combined with linefeed, the combination is often referred to as carriage-return/linefeed, CR/LF or hard carriage return. In pcANYWHERE, you can specify how the carriage return works for each terminal emulation.


carrier, defined
carrier
The signal generated by modem that is used to transmit data. The high-pitched sound you hear when you initially connect with another modem is the carrier signal.


case sensitivity, defined
case-sensitivity
The discrimination between lowercase and uppercase characters.


channel, defined
channel
In communications, a medium for transferring information, also known as a line or a circuit. Depending on its type, a communications channel can carry information in analog or digital form. A communications channel can be a physical link, such as the cable connecting two stations in a network, or it can consist of some electromagnetic transmission on one or more frequencies within a bandwidth in the electromagnetic spectrum.


class, defined
class
In pcANYWHERE, you can group gateway hardware setups that have similar characteristics in a class. The gateway hardware setup is assigned to a class when you create or edit the hardware setup. If a piece of hardware in a gateway cannot be accessed, pcANYWHERE will use another piece of hardware with a hardware setup in the same class. For example, you can create hardware setups for five 9600-bps modems attached to the network. If all 9600-bps modems are assigned to the same class, pcANYWHERE will use one of the other modems if the specified modem is busy.


communications, defined
communications
The transfer of data between computers by means of a device such as a modem or a cable.


communications link, defined
communications link
A connection between computers (and/or peripherals) that enables data transfer. A communications link can be a network, modem or cable.


communications port (COM port), defined
communications port (COM port)
A location for sending and receiving serial data transmissions. Also known as a serial port. DOS references these ports by the names COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4.


communications protocol, defined
communications protocol
A set of rules designed to allow computers to exchange data with one another with as little error as possible. Some protocols, such as RS-232-C, refer to hardware standards; others, such as XMODEM, refer to file transfer protocols. See also flow control.


communications system, defined
communications system
The combination of hardware, software and data-transfer links that makes communications possible.


communication session, defined
communications session
In communications, the time during which two computers (or a computer and a terminal) maintain a connection and, usually, are engaged in transferring information.


compile, defined
compile
The process of converting a high-level script into a low-level set of commands that can be executed, or run. Syntax errors are discovered when a script is being compiled.


connection, defined
connection
The point in time when devices establish a communications link.


CR, defined
CR
See carriage return.


CTS, defined
CTS
Stands for Clear to Send. A signal sent from a modem to the computer to which it is connected, indicating that it is ready for transmission. CTS is sent over line five in standard RS-232-C connections.


data bits, defined
data bits
In asynchronous transmission, this is the group of binary digits (bits) used to represent a single character of data. The number of data bits (usually 7 or 8 for modems) used in a transmission must be agreed upon by the sending and receiving computers. Each group of data bits in a transmission is preceded by a start bit and followed by an optional parity bit as well as one or more stop bits.

pcANYWHERE uses 7 when parity is set to anything other than NONE.

See also asynchronous transmission, parity, start bits, stop bits.


data rate, defined
data rate
The speed at which information is moved from one location to another; measured in bits per second, or bps. Compare baud rate.


data transfer, defined
data transfer
The movement of information from one location to another. The speed of transfer is called the data rate, or data transfer rate, and is usually measured in bits per second (bps).


data transmission, defined
data transmission
The electronic transfer of information from a sending device to a receiving device.


destructive <Backspace> key, defined
destructive <Backspace> key
When the Backspace key is pressed, characters are erased as the cursor moves to the left. A non-destructive Backspace key is identical in function to the PC's left arrow key.
pcANYWHERE allows you to configure the Backspace key to function either as a delete key or as an arrow key, depending upon the type of terminal emulation you are using.


dial, defined
dial
In pcANYWHERE, to initiate a connection via LAN, modem or direct connection, whether or not actual "dialing" is involved.


direct connection, defined
direct connection
A form of data communication where one computer or terminal is directly connected to another, usually via a null modem cable. See also null modem cable.


DOS host, defined
DOS Host TSR
In pcANYWHERE, the DOS Host TSR is a terminate-and-stay-resident program which enables remote users to run on the Host, DOS applications full-screen within Windows or to exit Windows and run a program from the DOS command line. If this feature is enabled, the Host computer's AUTOEXEC.BAT file is modified to start the TSR at the time the computer is started.


download, defined
download
In communications, the process of transferring a copy of a file from a distant or host computer to the local computer by means of a modem or network. In pcANYWHERE, using a modem-based communications link, the process generally involves the local computer instructing the distant or host computer to begin the transfer and the local computer saving the incoming file on disk. Compare upload.


download directory, defined
download directory
The directory in which files received during file transfer are stored.


DSR, defined
DSR

Stands for Data Terminal Ready. A signal used in serial communications that a modem sends to the computer to which it is attached, indicating that is available to accept incoming transmissions.


edit, defined
edit

To make changes to the content of a document or file.


error correction, defined
error correction
Noisy lines or faulty connections can sometimes cause errors that translate into erroneous characters on the screen and in transferred files. Error correction causes data to be re-transmitted before they are displayed or transferred. pcANYWHERE performs software-based error correction.


file transfer, defined
file transfer
The process of using communications to move or transmit a file from one computer to another. In communications, a protocol must be agreed upon by sending and receiving computers before file transfer can take place.


flow control, defined
flow control

A signal that acknowledges that communication or the transfer of information can take place. When a modem or computer receives data at a faster rate than it can process, data is stored in a  special area of memory called a data buffer. Flow control, also called handshaking, prevents data loss by temporarily halting data transmission when the buffer approaches its capacity.

Handshakes can be controlled by either hardware or software. A hardware handshake, as between a computer and a modem, is an exchange of signals, over specific wires, in which each device signals its readiness to send or receive data (see RTS/CTS). A software handshake, usually exchanged during modem-to-modem types of communication, consists of actual information transmitted  between the sending and receiving devices. A software handshake establishes agreement between devices on the protocols that both will use in communicating. See also protocol, XON/XOFF.


gateway, defined
gateway
A gateway is a small memory-resident program that resides on a network station with two pcANYWHERE compatible communications devices, such as a serial port, a modem or a network interface card. The gateway takes the information from one communications device, converts it, and sends it out through the other communications device.


handshake, defined
handshake
A signal indicating that the devices involved are ready to communicate. Handshakes can be controlled by either hardware or software. A hardware handshake occurs when the two devices send signals over specific wires, indicating they are ready to send/receive data. A software handshake occurs when actual information is sent between the two devices. See flow control.

initialize, defined
initialize
To prepare for use. In communications, to set a modem and software parameters at the start of a session.


keyboard handler, defined
keyboard handler
Keyboard handlers help you to send special key sequences to the Remote computer. Some applications, such as terminal emulation programs, require a keyboard handler to communicate directly with the host keyboard. Without this support, some or all of the keys in this type of program may be disabled in the remote session.

In pcANYWHERE, the Level 1 keyboard handler works well with most applications.


LAN, defined

linefeed (LF), defined
linefeed (LF)
A control character that tells a computer to advance one line below the current line. Because linefeed is often combined with carriage return, the combination is often referred to as carriage-return/linefeed or CR/LF.


log, defined
log
A record of activities and events that take place on a computer system. This record is stored in a data file.


login procedures, defined
login procedures
The process of identifying oneself to a computer after connecting to it over a communications line. During the login procedure, the computer usually requests the user's name and a password. On a computer normally used by many people, the login procedure provides a means of identifying authorized users, keeping track of their usage time, and maintaining security by controlling their access to sensitive files or actions.

pcANYWHERE can be configured to require a password during login.


macro, defined
macro
A set of keystrokes and instructions recorded, saved and assigned to a short key code. When the key code is typed, the recorded keystrokes and instructions are executed (played back). Macros can simplify day-to-day operations that otherwise become tedious. For example, a single "macro" keystroke can set up a connection using pcANYWHERE.


macro keys, defined
macro keys
Key codes assigned to sets of specific instructions. See also macro.


modem, defined
modem
Short for modulator/demodulator, a communications device that enables a computer to transmit information over a standard telephone line. A modem translates (modulates) digital data to analog signal for transmission over telephone lines and then back to digital (demodulates) at the other end. Modems can transmit at different speeds or data transfer rates. See also baud rate, bps.


NACS, defined

offhook, defined
offhook
A telephone or modem that is in use.


onhook, defined
onhook
A telephone or modem that is not in use.


online service, defined
online service
A computer communications system or service that allows users to dial in for information, messages and files. CompuServe is an example of a commercial online service. See also Bulletin Board Service (BBS).


parameters, defined
parameters
A value assigned to a variable; in communications, a means of customizing program (software) and hardware operation.


parity, defined
parity
In communications, parity refers to an error-checking procedure in which the number of 1's must always be the same--either even or odd--for each group of bits transmitted without error.

In typical modem-to-modem communications, parity is one of the parameters that must be agreed upon by sending and receiving parties before transmission can take place.

Parity can be computed in any of the following ways:

Even:  Adding the data bits and the parity bit yields an even number. If a character with an even number of bits arrives with the parity bit set (to 1), an error must have occurred during transmission.
Odd:  Adding the data bits and the parity bit yields an odd number. If a character with an odd number of bits arrives with the parity bit set (to 1), an error must have occurred during transmission.
None:  There is no parity bit.
Space:  Sometimes a parity bit is used, but it is always set to 0. If a character is received with a parity bit set to 1, an error may have occurred during transmission. Space can also be used to transmit seven-bit characters to a device that is expecting eight-bit characters. Also referred to as bit trimming.
Mark:  Works the same was as Space, except that the parity bit is always set to 1. Also referred to as bit forcing.


parity bit, defined
parity bit
An extra bit used in checking for errors in groups of data bits transferred within or between computer systems. In modem-to-modem communications, the sending computer adds a parity bit to each group of data bits, each of which represents a single character. The setting of the parity bit depends on the type of parity used. With even parity, for example, the parity bit is set to 1 whenever it is needed to make the total number of 1s (data bits plus parity bit) an even number. The receiving device counts the number of 1s in each arriving group of data and parity bits; if the number is odd when it should be even, the device can assume that one of the bits was transmitted incorrectly and that an error occurred.


password, defined
password
A security measure used to restrict access to computer systems and sensitive files. A password is a unique string of characters that a user types as an identification code. The system compares the code against a stored list of authorized passwords and users. If the code is legitimate, the system allows access, at whatever security level has been approved for the owner of the password.


port, defined
port
A hardware location for passing data in and out of a computing device. Computers have ports for connecting peripheral devices, such as the COM (or RS-232-C) ports used to connect modems and printers. See also communications port.

An industry standard for serial communication connections. Specific lines and signal characteristics are used to control the transmission of serial data between devices.


RTS, defined
RTS
Request to send. An RS-232-C signal used in hardware flow control to pace information sent from one device to another. RTS is also used in most modems that equal or exceed 9600 baud, as well as direct connections.

See also CTS.


run, defined
run
To execute a program or a script.


script, defined
script
A type of program that consists of a set of instructions to an application. A script usually consists of instructions expressed using the application's rules and syntax, combined with simple control structures.

Norton pcANYWHERE source scripts have an extension of .SCR; compiled, executable Norton pcANYWHERE scripts have extensions of .SCX.

You can create a Norton pcANYWHERE script using the Norton pcANYWHERE Editor or any other standard ASCII text editor.


serial communication, defined
serial communication
The transmission of information between computers or between computers and peripheral devices one bit at a time over a single line (or data path 1 bit wide). Serial communications can be either synchronous or asynchronous. Both the sender and receiver must use the same baud rate, parity and flow control information. Most modems automatically synchronize to the highest baud rate both modems can support. pcANYWHERE uses the asynchronous communications standard for personal computer serial communications.


serial interface, defined
serial interface
A data-transmission scheme that sends data and control bits in a 1 bit wide data path sequentially over a single transmission line. See also RS-232-C.


serial port, defined
serial port
A location for sending and receiving serial data transmissions. Also known as a communications port or COM port. DOS references these ports by the names COM1, COM2, COM3 and COM4.


serial transmission, defined
serial transmission
The transmission of discrete signals one after the other. In communications and data transfer, serial transmission involves sending information over a single wire one bit at a time; this is the method used in microcomputer modem-to-modem communications over telephone lines.


session, defined
session
In communications, the time during which two computers (or a computer and a terminal) maintain a connection and, usually, are engaged in transferring information.


signal, defined
signal
A general term for any electrical quantity that can be used to transmit or represent information.

signal state
A high or low voltage state. +3 volts or higher equals a binary 0, -3 volts or less equals a binary 1.


smart terminal, defined
smart terminal
A personal computer running terminal emulation software that mimics a terminal, but is also capable of running a personal computer operating system, such as MS-DOS. A pcANYWHERE terminal is an example of a smart terminal.


start bit, defined
start bit
In asynchronous transmission, the bit that signals the beginning of a character. Start and stop bits are required in asynchronous transmissions because the irregular time gaps between transmitted characters makes it impossible for a receiving device to determine when the next character should arrive. These start and stop bits add considerable overhead to transmissions, increasing the transmission time as much as 20% over the synchronous equivalent. Usually, a transmitted character is made up of 1 start bit, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit.


stop bit, defined
stop bit
In asynchronous transmission, the bit that signals the end of a character. Start and stop bits are required in asynchronous transmissions because the irregular time gaps between transmitted characters makes it impossible for a receiving device to determine when the next character should arrive. pcANYWHERE always uses 1 start bit and 1 stop bit.


suffix, defined
suffix

In pcANYWHERE, a code appended to the end of a telephone number, such as a calling card number for billing purposes.


switched line, defined
switched line
A standard dial-up telephone connection; the type of line established when a call is routed through a switching station. Compare leased line.


synchronous transmission, defined
synchronous transmission
A form of data transmission in which information is sent in blocks of bits separated by equal time intervals. The sending and receiving devices must first be set to interact with one another at precise intervals, then data is sent in a steady stream. See also asynchronous transmission (pcANYWHERE uses asynchronous transmission).


syntax error, defined
syntax error
Syntax errors are detected during compilation and occur when you make a mistake entering a command, such as not enclosing a string in quotes, or specifying the wrong number of parameters. The syntax errors are written to a file with the same source filename and the extension .ERR. You can use the Norton pcANYWHERE Editor to view the .ERR file, make corrections to the script and attempt compilation again.


terminal, defined
terminal
A device consisting of a monitor, video adapter, and keyboard. A terminal does little or no processing on its own (also known as a dumb terminal); instead, it is connected to a computer with a communications link over a cable. Terminals are used mainly with multi-user systems, where they are used to monitor and receive but not store information (i.e., with a mainframe). See also terminal emulation, smart terminal.


terminal emulation, defined
terminal emulation
The technique of imitating a terminal by using software that conforms to a standard such as the ANSI standard for terminal emulation. pcANYWHERE can make your computer act as if it were a particular type of terminal in order to communicate with another computer, such as a mainframe or minicomputer.


timeout, defined
timeout
A predetermined period of time during which a given task must be completed. If the timeout value is reached before or during the execution of the task, the task is canceled. You can configure a pcANYWHERE host to disconnect from a remote computer after a certain amount time has passed without activity.


translation table, defined
translation table
A code that allows data to be converted from one format to another.


upload, defined
upload
In communications, the process of transferring a copy of a file from a local computer to a remote computer by means of a modem, network or serial cable. With a modem-based communications link, the process generally involves the requesting computer instructing the distant computer to prepare to receive the file on its disk and then wait for the transmission to begin. Compare download.


wildcard, defined
wildcard
A symbol that enables multiple matching values to be returned based on a shared feature. The script language has two wildcards:  the question mark (?) and the asterisk (*). The question mark stands for any single character, and the asterisk stands for any character string of any length. For example, the file specification *.* would return all files, regardless of their filenames; the file specification *.SC? would return all filenames having a three-character extension beginning with SC (COMPUSRV.SCR, COMPUSRV.SCX, etc.).


Wrap, defined
wrap
The ability of the program to continue displaying information on a new line or page when the end of that line or page is reached.


XON/XOFF, defined
XON/XOFF
The most common of protocols established to govern software handshaking. Under this protocol, the receiving device sends a specific character when it wants the transmitting device to stop sending characters. It sends a different character when it wants the transmission to resume.

Changing Terminal Emulation Settings

Norton pcANYWHERE includes a wide variety of the most commonly used terminal emulators. Although most users do not need to adjust terminal settings, each of the terminal emulators can be customized to your needs and preferences. Terminal settings specify how each type of emulation operates on your computer. These settings involve both display and keyboard performance.

To configure a terminal emulator:

1	Select Terminal Emulations from the Configure menu.

2	Select the name of the emulation type that you want to configure.

3	Click Settings.

The configuration dialog box for the selected emulation type appears.

4	Select terminal configuration parameters.

Line Wrap: Determines how your monitor displays lines that exceed the width of the terminal display window. If Line Wrap is checked, lines that exceed the width of the display window are continued on the next line. When the cursor reaches the far right side of the screen, the next character is displayed in the first position on the next line. If Line Wrap is unchecked, the cursor remains on the same line until a line feed is received.

Screen Wrap: Controls what happens when the entire screen is filled. If Screen Wrap is unchecked, the display scrolls. This commonly used scrolling option discards the top line of the display, moves the remaining lines up, and displays the new line at the bottom of the screen. If Screen Wrap is checked, when the cursor reaches the last position on the last line of the terminal display window, the next line overwrites the top line without scrolling the display.

Destructive <BS> Key: The backspace can be set either as a destructive key, which deletes characters as it passes over them, or as a non-destructive key, which moves the cursor to the left without deleting characters. Check this option to enable destructive backspacing.

Translate Received CR To CR/LF: If this option is checked, pcANYWHERE moves the cursor to the left side of the terminal display window and advances one line when a carriage return character is received. Check this option if the display does not scroll vertically as expected.

Break Length: Specifies the length of the break signal used to interrupt programs running on a mainframe or minicomputer. This break should not be confused with the Ctrl+Break key combination, which sends a control character. This break is a sustained high signal used in online communications. Do not alter the default setting of 5 unless required to by a specific online service.

5	Click OK to change the settings.

Or,

Click Defaults to restore the original settings.

6	Click OK to close the dialog box.

Setting up a Translation Table

A translation table allows you to redefine incoming or outgoing characters. You can fine-tune a terminal to match specific online service requirements. You can exchange one plain text ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) code for another, swap ASCII for EBCDIC (Extended Binary Coded Decimal Interchange Code) or filter out certain characters altogether. These codes are specified by their hexadecimal equivalents.

CAUTION:  This is an advanced feature intended for users who are experienced with communication programs. Translation tables generally will not need to be edited. This feature is used only when the keyboard does not behave as expected, because of an incompatibility between an online service and a Norton pcANYWHERE terminal emulator.

To set up a translation table:

1	Select Terminal Emulations from the Configure menu.

The Configure Terminal Emulation dialog box appears.

2	Click Translation Tables to display the Select Translation File dialog box.

3	Enter a name for the translation file or select the name of an existing file.

4	Click OK.

The Translation Table dialog box appears.

When you enter a new filename for the translation table, Norton pcANYWHERE loads a default translation table. Until you edit it, this table does not specify any translations.

5	Select the code you want to change and click Edit.

The pcANYWHERE Translation Tables dialog box appears.

6	Enter hexadecimal translation values into the Receive or Transmit Translation text boxes.

TIP:  To filter out an incoming or outgoing character, clear the appropriate field. This eliminates unwanted characters from being sent or received.

7	Click OK to save the change.

8	Repeat Steps 5 through 7 until you are finished.

9	Click OK.

Creating a network gateway

A Gateway is a small memory-resident program that routes information in from one device and then out through another. The device can be a modem, a serial device other than a modem or a network connection.

The most common type of gateway involves a network station with a modem and a network connection. The network station can be set up as either an outbound or inbound gateway. An outbound gateway accepts information from other network stations through the network connection and sends that information out through its modem. An inbound gateway accepts information through its modem and sends that information to other network stations through the network connection.

Creating one inbound and one outbound gateway on a network would allow all users on the network to call out of the network and receive calls into the network even if they don't have a modem attached to their network station.

To create a gateway:

1	Select a computer that has a network connection (this can be NetWare IPX or NetBIOS) and a serial connection (this can be a modem, a leased line or a direct connection).

In most cases, the serial connection will be with a modem.

2	Create a hardware configuration for the network node connection.

3	Create a hardware configuration for modem, leased line or direct connection.

4	Configure the gateway.

5	Launch the gateway TSR.

Configuring a network gateway

A Gateway routes information in from one device and then out through another. There are two kinds of gateways: an Inbound Gateway allows information to flow into the network and an Outbound Gateway sends information out from the network. No matter which direction the information flows, both types of gateways require two hardware connections.

Before you can configure a gateway you must create a hardware configuration for both the incoming and outgoing gateway connections. In most cases this means a network node hardware configuration for the network connection (NetWare IPX or NetBIOS) and a serial hardware configuration for the serial connection (modem, leased line or direct connection).

To configure a gateway:

1	Select Gateway from the Configure menu.

2	Select an incoming hardware configuration.

An Inbound Gateway will use a modem, leased line or direct connection. Select the correct hardware configuration for that device.
An Outbound Gateway will use the network communications device. Select the correct hardware configuration for your network.

3	Select an outgoing hardware configuration.

An Inbound Gateway will use the network communications device. Select the correct hardware configuration for your network.
An Outbound Gateway will use a modem, leased line or direct connection. Select the correct hardware configuration for that device.

4	Check Bidirectional if you want to allow both incoming and outgoing calls, or leave unchecked to limit to either incoming or outgoing.

5	Check Load into High Memory if you want to load the gateway TSR into high memory, thereby giving the gateway PC more efficient use of the available memory.

6	Enter the number minutes of inactivity allowed in the Activity Timeout text box.

The Gateway automatically ends the remote computing session after this number of minutes passes without action on either side of the connection. Enter 0 if you don't want a timeout.

7	Enter the percentage of computer processing time that should be devoted to Gateway operations in the CPU Usage text box. The maximum percentage is 10.

8	Enter a group name for a set of gateways in the Class text box, then click OK.

TIP: A computer with two modems (and modem lines) can be configured so that you can call in through one modem and out through the other. To do this set the Incoming Hardware Configuration for one modem and the Outgoing Hardware Configuration for the other modem.

Launching the gateway TSR

After you have configured the gateway, you must launch or start the gateway TSR in order to make the gateway available for use. To launch the gateway, you can enter the Gateway TSR command at the DOS command line.

To launch the gateway:

1	Exit Windows.

2	Type netpathname\AW5GATE -I=userid at the DOS prompt.

Replace netpathname with the name of the network directory that contains the pcANYWHERE program files.

Replace userid with the user ID that you established the first time you ran pcANYWHERE on the gateway computer.

Launching the DOS Host TSR

The Norton pcANYWHERE DOS Host TSR supports full-screen DOS sessions within Windows and from the command line outside of Windows. It is not necessary to load this TSR to run DOS applications within a window. The DOS Host options are configured within Norton pcANYWHERE for Windows. You can load the TSR from the DOS command line.

To launch the DOS Host TSR from the command line:

•	Type:
pathnameAW_HOST -W=\winpath -P=configpath -I=userid -M=R
at the DOS prompt, before running Windows.

Where:
pathname is the name of the directory you selected for Norton pcANYWHERE during installation (or the network path specified by your network administrator.)
winpath is the name of the directory where Windows is located on your computer.
configpath is the name of the directory that contains your configuration files. (Normally the same as pathname except for network installations that specify a different directory for user configuration files. Ask your network administrator.)
userid is the ID that you use to start the network installation of Norton pcANYWHERE. (You only need to include this argument if pcANYWHERE is installed to a network.) userid loads the Gateway configuration created with your pcANYWHERE user ID.

TIP:  The DOS Host TSR program is disabled until activated by Norton pcANYWHERE for Windows to support a full-screen DOS session. If you want to run the DOS Host TSR independently from Windows change the command line to pathnameAW_HOST -W=\winpath -P=configpath -M=A to actively wait for a call. When the DOS Host TSR is loaded this way, you cannot launch a pcANYWHERE for Windows Host. Use the -M=A parameter only when you are not running Windows but want to launch a DOS Host.

Using the Chat Window

The Remote and Host users can type messages to one another using the chat window. The Remote user's keystrokes are displayed in one text box, while the Host user's keystrokes are displayed in another. This prevents two people from overwriting each other's messages, and facilitates two-way interactive communication. Because both users can type simultaneously, the flow of information is more like natural conversation. The Chat Window feature is particularly useful for sending or receiving brief messages or instructions.

To use the chat window:

1	Click the Chat button in the Remote or Host Online Menu.

The pcANYWHERE Chat window appears on the Remote and Host display.

2	Type a message to the user of the PC with whom you are connected.

Both Host and Remote user keystrokes are displayed on both computers. When your keystrokes reach the right border of the text box, press Enter to start a new line or continue typing to force the text to scroll to the left. To re-display text that has scrolled out of view, reposition it with the vertical or horizontal scroll bars as necessary.

To exit chat mode and resume the remote computing session:

•	Click Cancel in the pcANYWHERE chat window.

Printing from the Terminal Window

Sometimes you need a printed copy of an online session or screen. Instead of using session recording to save the screen or session to a file, you can print directly from the terminal window.

To print from the terminal window:

Terminal window output is sent to your printer.

Or,

•	Select Print Screen from the File menu to print only the current terminal display.

Changing File Manager file transfer options

File transfer options include file overwrite preferences, file compression and crash recovery settings. Normally you should require verification before overwriting files. If you intend to overwrite a large number of files, verifying each one could be a nuisance. In this case you may want to choose to overwrite automatically, or to overwrite older files only.

To set file transfer options:

1	Start the Norton pcANYWHERE File Manager on the Remote or Host computer.

2	Select File Transfer Options from the Configure menu.

The File Transfer Options dialog box appears.

3	Select a file overwrite preference from the Destination File drop-down list.

4	Check the Use Compression check box to compress files during transfer.

Compressing files during transfer improves file transfer speed.

NOTE: Files are compressed during transfer to improve speed, but are automatically uncompressed to their original state before being written to the target drive.

5	Click the Allow Crash Recovery check box if desired.

When crash recovery is enabled, if a file transfer is interrupted before completion you can reconnect and continue transferring the file from the point at which file transfer was interrupted.

Changing Online Service file transfer protocol

Norton pcANYWHERE Terminal mode offers a selection of the most popular file transfer protocols for use with online services. It is necessary to use the same file transfer protocol on both sides of the connection. Since most online services also offer a number of different file transfer protocols, it should be no problem finding a match.

Some online services let you register a preferred protocol which is used automatically whenever you download a file. Others prompt you to select from a list of available file transfer protocols. If you want to establish a protocol as the default for this online service you can add this information to the File Transfer Protocol setting in the Online Service directory entry. In the meantime, you can change the file transfer protocol for this session from the Transfers menu.

To override the default protocol:

1	Begin an online service session.

2	Select Protocol from the Transfers menu.

The File Transfer Protocol dialog box appears.

3	Click an option button to select a protocol.

4	Click OK.

Overview of recording a session
Recording a session

It is often helpful to have a recording of a session. For example, you can record a remote computing session in which the Host user has demonstrated a complex program or procedure. Then instead of referring to a set of notes, you can play back this recording when you need help remembering the exact steps demonstrated.

Recorded sessions are saved in one of two formats. Record files save a real-time recording of a session. Screen files save individual screens. Screen files are like snapshots, while Record files are more like movies.

•	Record Files--Records a session in real-time.

•	Screen Files--Captures a single screen.

Settings group box

Data rate drop-down list box: Select the highest speed (in bps) at which your modem and COM port can transmit and receive data. If you connect to a slower modem, your modem automatically adjusts its speed.

Parity: Select the type of error checking performed during the communications session. This setting must match that of the computer to which you are trying to communicate. You may need to check with the system administrator of the online service to determine the correct setting.

<None>: No parity error correction is used. Use this method for connecting to most bulletin boards (BBSs). This is the equivalent to 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bitalso known as 8,n,1.

Odd: A parity bit is added to the bits that make up each character to adjust the number of 1's in each set of bits to an odd number. Use this method when required by an online service. This is also known as 7, O, 1.

Even: A parity bit is added to the bits that make up each character to adjust the number of 1's in each set of bits to an even number. Use this method when required by on-line services such as CompuServe. This is also known as 7, E, 1.

Destructive BS: Causes the backspace key to delete characters as it moves the cursor to the left. This works like sending a destructive backspace code (127). If disabled, the backspace key will move the cursor to the left without deleting a character. This works like sending a non-destructive backspace code (08).

Screen wrap: Advances the cursor to the first column of the first row when it reaches the last column of the last row. Subsequent text will overwrite whatever appears on the first row. If disabled the top line of the display scrolls upward, out of view when the screen is filled, making room for an additional line of text at the bottom.

CR to CR/LF: Moves the cursor down one line after processing the carriage return code. If disabled, the cursor moves to the first position on the current line.
