TerminalType property


Selects terminal type that is reported to the server.

Type

String

Syntax

  • Basic
object.TerminalType [= value]
The TerminalType(object) syntax has these parts:
objectAn expression evaluating to an object of type wodTelnetDLX

Remarks

Telnet and SSH protocols specifications define that client should identify emulation that will be used with the connection. Most commonly, if client is able to handle cursor-movements and similar console actions it should implement vt100 emulation. Almost all servers support vt100, so this is used as default value.

Note that in COM object part of wodTelnetDLX, terminal type does not really have any affect on local side - because there is no GUI. However, changing it from 'vt100' to something else may cause server to send different data. For example, you can stop it from sending ANSI escape sequences since you don't really need them.

Selected terminal type does not affect local terminal emulation set in TerminalEmulation property. You can report to the server that you're using 'tty' or 'xterm' emulation, and set 'vt100' locally since all of these emulations are very similar.
