Configure Telnet Connection Settings
Once you configure and verify your telnet login sequence, access the Telnet Connections frame and specify telnet connection settings. These settings define the maximum and minimum number of telnet connections available to the associated user.
Recommended settings are 10 or more for Maximum; 1 for Minimum.
User Option Telnet Maintenance, Telnet Connections
Maximum
This value specifies:
• The maximum number of concurrent embedded telnet screen connections this user can have open per session.
• The maximum number of running HTML programs allowed for the user. If a specific record does not exist for a user with this setting defined, that user can continue opening programs until the maximum number of sessions allowed for the entire pool is reached.
Valid values are:
• Unlimited: The associated user can have an unlimited number of concurrent telnet connections open.
• Disabled: The associated user cannot log in through .NET UI. Until you create a login script to initiate telnet sessions for this user, you cannot set this field to any value other than Disabled.
• Any numerical value between 1 and 99.
Note: Setting this to 0 is the same as disabled.
This setting applies separately to HTML telnet sessions and terminal sessions in the .NET UI. For example, if Maximum Telnet Settings is 5, a user can have 5 HTML maintenance programs running and 5 telnet programs running in one session before an error displays.
Minimum
Enter a value between 0 and 9 to indicate the minimum number of telnet connections to be available to the associated user at all times.
Set this value to the number of telnet programs the user is likely to run simultaneously. Specifying a value here can dramatically reduce the wait time for these programs to display. However, setting this value too high depletes system resources.
QAD recommends that you set Minimum to 0 (zero) for most users, including the generic user—defined with an asterisk (*). If users access terminal maintenance programs extensively, set Minimum to 2.
Verify the Login Sequence
To verify the login sequence, from a remote machine attempt to log in to the telnet server using the login sequence you configured in the system. Login is successful if the system displays a blank telnet screen after the telnet connection script is launched.
