Timer Disc
This field specifies the number of minutes that a host can be inactive before the session times
out and automatically disconnects. Enter the number of minutes to wait before inactivating a
session, from 0 to 1440.
Bold
Because a CUT mode terminal cannot support the bold attribute the same way an ASCII
terminal does, this field lets you select an EAB attribute that can be used in place of bold.
Toggle among the choices to select one of the following options:
• Normal (normal video default)
• Reverse video
• Underline
• Blinking
• White
• Red
• Blue
• Yellow
• Turquoise
• Pink
Character Set
To enable the use of multiple languages, LINCS supports Multinational Character Set (MCS)
inbound data (keys) and outbound data (displayable characters) and the National Replacement
Character Set (NRC) inbound and outbound data. Each device can use one character set at a
time.
• MCS - An ASCII character set that includes all 8-bit characters 00-FF hex. The MCS
can support all foreign languages without modification.
• NRC - The NRC is an ASCII character set that includes only 7-bit characters 00-7F hex.
To support foreign languages, the NRC is modified by replacing certain displayable
characters with those required by the foreign language.
The NRC tables are automatically modified for the language configured. The ASCII Definition
Utility (ADU), gives instructions for making custom modifications to the NRC or MCS tables.
For a list of supported languages, see the table Languages Supported.
