Applet parameter only preferences

Overview

The host and port applet parameters, if present, determine the initial hostname and port. The initial hostname and port determine which preference set JET 3270 uses initially. If the Start Connection Automatically preference is yes and the Prompt for Hostname preference is no then JET 3270 will automatically connect to the initial hostname/port when it starts. Otherwise, if Reconnect is selected JET 3270 will connect to the inital hostname/port and if Connect... is selected it will be the default in the Connect dialog box.

If the host parameter is present it is the initial hostname. In this case the initial port is the port parameter if it is present, otherwise 23.

If the host parameter is not present but there is a default hostname/port (from the saved preferences file) then it is the initial hostname/port. The port parameter is ignored.

If there is no default hostname/port and the host parameter is not present the initial hostname is the name of the web server JET 3270 was loaded from. If the JET 3270 cannot determine the name of the web server the initial hostname is "localhost". The initial port is the port parameter if it is present, otherwise 23.

Applet parameter name: key_activity_timeout
Value type: Integer
Allowed values: 0 to 65535 inclusive
Default value: 0
Description
Number of minutes JET 3270 waits before disconnecting due to no key activity. This parameter may be used to ensure connections that are no longer in use are not unnecessarily maintainted. The timeout is applied to each session seperately, key activity on one session will not prevent another from being disconnected. If the value is 0 then the timeout feature is disabled and JET 3270 will not disconnect.
