This article describes a function or feature of the software ZOC Terminal.
The feature or element of the software described here is 'Terminal'.
ZOC Terminal is a professional terminal emulator that is well known for its extensive features, security, user friendlyness, wide range of emulations and
quality of emulation implementation. ZOC Terminal is a common choice to replace
other terminal emulators like Putty, Kitty, Termius, Secure-CRT, Attachmate Extra!and others.
 
This window is used to configure general terminal and text output characteristics.

TERMINAL-OPTIONS |
|
| |
Local echo |
|
Normally a remote host will send all typed characters back to the terminal,
which then displays them. In other words, the users sees his own input by
way of the host echoing the characters back to the terminal. If a host
does not do this (i.e. if the user does not see what he types), the terminal
can use this option to display input locally.
|
Don't CR/LF for local echo |
|
When the Enter key is pressed and when local echo is also enabled, this option
makes ZOC echo only a Carriage-Return instead of the normal CR/LF combination.
|
Incoming end of line -> CR/LF |
|
When enabled, this options ensures that each incoming line end (CR or LF) is
treated as an Carriage-Return/Line-Feed combination. Use this option if received text
is either printed over and over in the same line without advancing to the next line
or if the text is printed like a stairway with the cursor moving down at the end of
the line but not moving back to the left edge.
|
Soft Shift-Lock for letters |
|
When using remote systems that require (or accept) only upper case characters,
this option can be used to treat all letter keys as if Shift-Lock was active.
Non-letter keys (e.g. digits or punctuation) will remain unaffected.
|
Scroll jumps |
|
Even in modern computers, scrolling large amounts of text can be a demanding task
for the CPU. In order to improve scrolling speed, you can allow ZOC to delays scrolling
until a few lines of text have arrived. This way ZOC saves CPU cycles, because
needs to move the text only once instead of five times.
Obviously output speed benefits from this (while the scrolling appears
rather "jumpy" instead of smooth). The bigger the jumps you select (normally
flea jumps should be enough) the more lines ZOC will collect before actually
scrolling and the faster output will be.

Answer to ENQ |
|
Some hosts use the ENQ character (^E, hex 05) to request information from
the terminal. This option lets you specify the answer which will be
sent, if an ENQ character is received from the host. If the string contains the
placeholder %USERNAME% or %COMPUTERNAME% or %DOMAINNAME%
(alternately $(USERNAME), $(COMPUTERNAME), $(DOMAINRNAME)),
these will be replaced by their respective values.
|
Disable URL highlighting |
|
When this option is active, URLs (http links, ftp links, etc.) on screen
are not highlighted when the mouse hovers over them and a click on an
URL will not open a web browser.
|
Send echo |
|
Loop back all incoming characters to the originator. This option can be used
if other computers are connecting to ZOC and if they are expecting it to behave
like a host computer.
Warning: This may result in an endless loop if the originator
also sends an echo, which is true for most modems and hosts.
|
Strip high bit from incoming data |
|
If enabled, all characters in the terminal window are printed with 7 bits.
This can be used if you receive graphical characters where text should
appear (of course, this does not help if bursts of noise from the phone line
send garbage to your screen).
|
Software 7E1 |
|
This option is used if a host with 7E1 coding is accessed through an
8 bit Gateway (ISDN, Telnet).
|
Ignore remote beep |
|
This option lets you suppress remote beep signals (^G/Bell). It overrides the setting
in Options→Program Settings→Sounds.
|
Ignore character translation profile |
|
This options can disable the translation of characters via
Options→Character Translation Profiles.
If enabled, a loaded character translation profile will remain dormant.
