Telnet → Telnet Options

To adjust options for telnet connections, navigate to the Connection Type section of the Session Profile. These changes will apply to all connections using that session profile.

If you want to change the options for a single connection, click the Configure button in the Quick Connect window. For connections made through the Host Directory, use the the Configure button found in the Host tab of your host directory entry.

 

The following options are available for Telnet sessions:

       
Socks Proxy
 

If you need to connect to your telnet host through a proxy you can enter the name/ip and optional port (default port is 1080) here. If the proxy is a SOCKS5 type, you can also provide username and password in the form user:pass@ip:port.

Raw socket connection, pure TCP, no telnet
 

This option generates a pure TCP connection without negotiating telnet options with the remote host. This is useful if the server is not a real telnet server but runs a different TCP based protocol instead (e.g. SMTP or other RFC protocols).

Enable TCP Keep Alive
 

When this option is set, the telnet tcp stream is configured to send keep-alive packets to the remote hosts (technically this means that SO_KEEPALIVE is set on the socket). If this does not work, you can also set the idle feature in the Terminal options of the Session Profile.

Start session with local echo on
 

If this option is enabled, ZOC will use local echo (which is faster than remote echo) when the session starts. However, during the login process this option is often overridden (i.e. changed back to remote echo) by the remote host.

Host may change terminal's local echo mode
 

Allows the host to change your local echo setting (Session Profile→Terminal).

Do not disconnect on error
 

If a transmission error occurs, ZOC normally closes the connection. With this option checked, ZOC will keep the connection alive.

 


ADVANCED OPTIONS
 


Do not lookup hostnames from IP address
 

If you connect to a host by using its IP ZOC normally looks up the host name. You can turn this off, if you do not want this (e.g. because your name server is slow or if you are connecting to ip addresses which do not have names associated with them).

Connect IP-V4 only
 

If this option is enabled, DNS lookup will use IP-V4 addresses only.

Outgoing CR conversion
 

Enable this option if your host requires a NUL character sent after a CR character if the CR character isn't followed by a LF character.

Host sends CR/NUL in binary mode
 

Try to enable this option if binary file transfers (e.g. Zmodem) through Telnet connections fail.

Offer 'do SGA' negotiation
 

Please enable this option if you get errors from the host saying that the client does not support SGA.

Start session in binary mode
 

If enabled, ZOC will try to negotiate a binary session. This is sometimes necessary for file transfers to work.

Telnet Accept will listen on port
 

If you use the Accept Connections function from the File menu, this is the number of the port on which ZOC will listen for incoming connections.

Terminal Speed
 

Here you can enter the terminal speed in baud, if needed (e.g. 9600,9600).
