menu.

The following options are available on the main menu:

• Quit – Eterm for DOS.

• Continue – Close the main menu and continue using Eterm for DOS.

• Reconnect – Close the main menu and attempt to reconnect to the host system using the

current configuration settings.

• Configure – Open a dialog box to change the current Eterm for DOS configuration.

• Debug – Switch to the debugging screen, assuming that Enable Debug is set to ON.

Use the Arrow keys to select commands from the Eterm for DOS menu, and then press Enter to

execute the command. You can also type the highlighted letter of the command to execute it.

To configure Eterm for DOS:

1. From the Eterm for DOS main menu, select the CONFIGURE command, and press

Enter.

The Configure screen appears.

Note: In the Configure screen, use the Up Arrow and Down Arrow keys to

select fields. Use the Left Arrow and Right Arrow keys to choose options

for the selected field.

The SPEED and CONNECT STRING fields become inactive.

3. In the HOST field, type the IP address of the host system.

You can also type in the host name if you are using a hosts file or a Domain Name Server
