Wx3270/Help/Settings/Options

Allows various wx3270 options to be modified. In the upper right-hand corner is a preview of what various screen elements will look like with the selected options.



Display
Allows the selection of a 3278 (monochrome) or 3279 (color) display.

Opacity
Selects the opacity of the main window. A 100% opaque window completely blocks other windows behind it. Lesser opacities allow more of those windows and the desktop background to show through.

Screen size
Allows the screen size (number of rows and columns) to be selected.

The top combo box selects the basic 3270 model. Below that, the Oversize checkbox allows larger screens to be configured.

Terminal name
This selects the terminal name string sent when the host requests the TELNET terminal type. By default, this string is constructed according to the TN2370 and TN3270E RFCs, indicating the model number and extended mode. (If an oversize display is configured, the default name is IBM-DYNAMIC.)

The Override checkbox allows the default string to be overridden.

The Extended mode checkbox controls whether the -E suffix is added to the default terminal name. The extended suffix indicates that the emulator supports structured fields in the 3270 data stream protocol.
