Entire Connection supports the following methods:
Entire Connection supports TCP/IP TN3270 and TN3270E communication for display sessions. It also supports TCP/IP TN3270E communication for host printer sessions.
You can use any network adapter that is supported by any TCP/IP stack software which provides the WinSock 2 interface. This mode supports extended attribute bytes (EABs).
The TCP/IP stack software must be installed and active in order to activate terminal emulation.
For IBM host printer emulation, it is necessary to define generic, specific or associated printers on the Telnet server. See your Telnet server documentation for details.

Entire Connection supports VT100, VT220 and VT320 communication with any network adapter that is supported by any TCP/IP stack software which provides the WinSock 2 interface.
The TCP/IP stack software must be installed and active in order to activate terminal emulation.

This communication method emulates the standard 9750 terminal which is a 24 by 80 characters display without colors. Local printing is not supported. In addition to the standard 9750 terminal features, the following features of the 975x family are supported:
80 FTZ per line
20 P-keys
24 F-keys
reverse video
full 9756-type memory support for P-Registers
In Natural environments, the color terminal type 9763 (7 bit) is also supported. As a prerequisite, Natural Version 3 or above must be installed. By default, Natural uses the terminal type 9750 (monochrome). To activate the terminal type 9763, use the following Natural terminal command (either in a screen or in a program):
%T=9763
When activating the terminal type 9763, it is recommended that you also load the Siemens function keys F1 through F20 using the following Natural terminal command:
%KN
Entire Connection supports TCP/IP communication with BS2000 hosts with any network adapter that is supported by any TCP/IP stack software which provides the WinSock 2 interface.
The prerequisite on the host side is the communication subsystem BCAM version V.11, which establishes the connection with the host (available within the Siemens product DCAM).
No third-party software is needed for Entire Connection to activate terminal emulation.
To make the terminal emulation key settings similar to those on a BS2000 keyboard, use the predefined key scheme BS2000KEYS.
