Getting Started
The Services list box (in the New Connection dialog box) will display the devices on
the network which use the currently selected protocol. Click the name of the device
required or, in the case of TELAPI, enter an Internet address in the text box (for
example, 128.127.126.2). Note that either the host name or IP address may be entered
for TCP/IP connections. When Eicon X25 is selected, TeemTalk requires you to enter
a valid X25 address as none will be listed.
The Telnet Options button becomes available when a Telnet protocol is selected in
the Type list box. The dialog box displayed when this button is clicked is described
in the Setup Menus chapter.
Clicking the Connect button or the name of the host in the Services list box twice
will cause TeemTalk to attempt to connect to the specified host. If a connection cannot
be made because the network driver is not installed or the host node name is invalid,
an error message will indicate this. Failure to connect for any other reason will result
in a Connection Failed message.
The status bar along the bottom of the TeemTalk window displays two LEDs. The first
LED indicates whether or not you are connected to the host. It will show red when
not connected and green when you are connected. The second LED indicates
whether or not data is being sent to or from the host. It will show dull green when
there is no activity, red when data is being sent to the host, and bright green when
data is being received from the host.
Connection to the network host node will close if you change the settings in the New
Connection dialog box and attempt to connect, if you log out of the host, or the host
closes the connection. When the host closes the connection a message box will be
displayed giving you the option of reconnecting to the network host node, cancelling
the message box and returning to TeemTalk, or exiting TeemTalk.
A warning message will be displayed if you attempt to open a new session while a
session is already open. If you attempt to exit TeemTalk while a network session is still
active, the following message box will be displayed:
Any of these message boxes can be disabled so that the current connection is
automatically closed when the host closes the connection, a new session is opened, or
TeemTalk is exited. Refer to the Initialization Commands chapter for details.
