IOLAN
+
- User and Administration Guide
The TERM field The TERM field can be used to pass the terminal type
information to the host. The
terminal type field is local to the
IOLAN+ but will be passed to the host. The
TERM field can
override the information being sent to the host about the type
of terminal. This allows you to customise information being
passed to the host. For example, a user could encode the
physical location into this field (i.e. tty16) and then extract
that at the host end to determine which port the user has
logged in on (i.e. port 16).
Gateway Tables
When the host and IOLAN+ are connected via a gateway
router, a connection is not possible until the gateway table
has been updated with the IP address of the local gateway
machine. See section 9.7, the
Gateway Menu section of The
Menu Interface
