Use Windows user name for logon

When this check box is selected, the Windows user name is used to log on to Entire Connection. A logon dialog box does not appear in this case. However, if the terminal application is started using user ID and/or password as startup parameters, this option is ignored.

When this check box is not selected, Entire Connection's user information is required (either in the Entire Connection Logon dialog box or as a startup parameter).

Create user profile automatically

This check box is only available when the Use Windows user name for logon check box is selected.

When this check box is selected, a dialog box appears if a Windows user name is used to log on to Entire Connection for which a user profile does not yet exist. This dialog box asks whether you want to create a user profile for the current user name.

Enable system trace

This parameter is intended for problem analysis. It should be used only under supervision of your technical support.
