Remote Configuration Parameter Reference

For information on any of the following remote configuration parameters, click on the underlined parameter name. (The list is presented in alphabetical order.)
Note: The parameter titles given below match the syntax used for that parameter in the X station's remote configuration file.

100VG IP Address

Purpose:
The Internet Protocol address for the optional 100VG interface.
Valid Values:
Must be in valid dotted decimal format and must be unique to the network.
Default:
0.0.0.0

100VG Subnet Mask

Must be in valid dotted decimal format and must be unique to the network.
Default:
255.255.255.0

100VG Terminal Name

Valid Values:
Default:
Blank.

Access Control

Purpose:
Limits the computers that can access the X station's display.

Default:
OFF
Notes:
If ON, access will be limited to those on the access control list. The default access control list contains: The X station reads the ipaddress.hosts file only at power-up.
References:

Alternate NFS and TFTP

Purpose:
Specifies whether the system should flip between NFS and TFTP.
Valid Values:
ON or OFF
Default:
ON
Notes:
For best performance, turn OFF and use NFS for access mechanism.

Auto Exec

Purpose:
To allow users to specify a list of local client applications to start when the X server starts up.
Valid Values:
A semi-colon (;) separated list of local clients.
Default:
popupd (a local client used by ENWARE to display error messages)

Auto Repeat

Purpose:
Controls whether keys repeat when held down for more than one-half second.
Valid Values:
ON or OFF
Default:
ON

Auto Repeat Rate

Purpose:
Controls the rate at which the keyboard keys repeat.
Valid Values:
0 to 60
Default:
30

Auto Wrap

Purpose:
Controls whether the X station automatically wraps text in a Serial Session
Valid Values:
ON or OFF
Default:
ON

Backing Store

Purpose:
Controls the backing store and save under functions.
Valid Values:
Default:
By Application
Notes:
When enabled, Backing Store saves the parts of windows covered by other windows and Save Under saves the parts of windows covered by pull-down menus in the X station's memory.

When Disabled, the X station redraws those windows by receiving updated display information from the host.

By Application allows specific applications to turn backing store on or off.

When Mapped turns backing store on at all times for currently-displayed windows (unless the client explicitly turns off backing store).

Note: Backing store can quickly consume the X station's free memory. If you have limited memory, choose Disabled. If you want to use backing store, By Application is recommended.

Backspace Key

Controls what type of vt100 control sequence is issued when pressing the Backspace key while within a Serial Session
Valid Values:
Backspace or Delete
Default:
Backspace

Fully qualified path to X station download bin directory.
Default:
$(BasePath)/bin/$(LANG), $(BasePath)/bin, $(BasePath)
Notes:
For some clients, both an X11R4 version and an X11R5 version are shipped. By default, the X11R4 version is used if the LANG variable is set to "C", and the X11R5 version is used otherwise. You can override the default, as follows:

Click For Help

Purpose:
Controls whether pressing F1 or clicking the right-most mouse button brings up a Help screen when in the configuration screens.
Valid Values:
ON or OFF
Default:
ON

Valid Values:
0 to 2147483647
Default:
300

Valid Values:
ON or OFF
Default:

Default:
True, ON

Domain Name

Purpose:
The name of the domain (the part of the host name after the first period) in which your X station resides. You must specify the domain name if you want to use a name server.
Valid Values:
Any name in DNS format.
Default:
Domain is set to the domain supplied via the "hn" tag in bootp. Otherwise, the domain name is blank.
Notes:
As an example, if your terminal address is xnet4.tw.usa, then xnet4 is the X Terminal Name and tw.usa is the domain. The domain name is the unique name for your network; the terminal name is tied to your IP address and is unique to your X station.

File Server List

Purpose:
Lists the file servers with the default access method.
Valid Values:
Comma separated list of file server names or IP address. The name/IP address could include the Access mechanism (for example, /nfs/hppadan, /tftp/15.4.1.1).
Default:
/Access Mechanism/File Server, /Alt Access Mechanism/Alt File Server

File Timeout

Purpose:
Controls the length of time the X station should attempt to access the file via TFTP server before it tries to access the alternative file server or gives up.

0 - 9999 seconds
Default:
20 seconds
Notes:
Increase the File Timeout if:
This value only affects transfers via TFTP. There is no corresponding file timeout when using NFS.

Font Caching

Purpose:
Retains all previously read fonts in memory. Future requests for these fonts will not require reloading them.
Valid Values:
ON or OFF
Default:
ON
Notes:
Font Caching requires additional memory in the X station. Although cache memory is reclaimed in low-memory situations, X stations with insufficient memory should disable this feature.

Font Path

Purpose:
Provides the default font path for the X station.
Default:
The default font path includes: 
./fonts/hp_roman8/75dpi/
./fonts/iso_8859.1/75dpi/
./fonts/iso_8859.1/100dpi/
./fonts/misc/
/rom/fonts/default/
(Where ./ represents the base path.)
Notes:
If you chose not to install the ENWARE X Station Software fonts, you need to change the X station's font path to use the workstation's fonts.

You can specify the font path to access the workstation fonts in the Default Font Path field on the [Server] configuration screen. For example, to get fonts from an HP-UX 9.0 host you could enter: 

/usr/lib/X11/fonts/hp_roman8/75dpi/,/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc/

Note that the font path cannot contain remote-configuration style variables (such as $(BasePath)). Leave the path /rom/fonts/default in the Default Font Path field.

The font path can also include font servers through the format: 

tcp/hostname:port
tcp/hppadc:7000

Using a font server both increases speed and significantly reduces memory requirements on the X station.

References:
For more information about how this is set, refer to Base Path.
