  4. How do I create a Powerterm session and make is start automatically?
  5. I want to remap my enter keys but I can't, why?
  6. How do I remapping Shift+PgUp to DUP key when using the a Linux Client with 5250 emulation and the BOS 122KB?

  8. I have a 5250 display and printer session configured to start automatically but the printer session always ends up the top session, how can I reverse it so the display session is on top?

 

I am using a Bosanova 122 keyboard but my function keys don't work correctly.

The keyboard needs to be set to 101 Term - 122 Bosanova in the Connections Manager.  Edit the session and under the General tab change the keyboard type to 101 Term - 122 Bosanova.  The Bosanova 122 keyboard is actually a 101 keyboard that looks like a 122 keyboard.

How do I go between sessions in TBT mode?

Ctl+Alt+Up arrow jumps back to the previous session, Ctl+Alt+Down arrow jumps to the subsequent session, Ctl+Alt+End will take you to Terminal Connection Manager and from there F2 enters the Terminal Setup.

*NOTE - starting in version 03.03g19 the key sequence only jumps to subsequent display sessions, not printer sessions.

What does "Send Keep Alive" do in Advanced Options under the Connection tab of the display session properties?

Sends a "ping" command to the host at a user specified interval.

How do I create a Powerterm session and make is start automatically?

1.  Define your powerterm session.

2.  Define a telnet session as shown in image below.

3.  Then autostart telnet session from connection mgr.

I want to remap my enter keys but I can't, why?

The enter keys are hard coded and cannot be remapped.

How do I remapping Shift+PgUp to DUP key when using the a Linux Client with 5250 emulation and the BOS 122KB?

The Dup key is equal to the Shift+PgUp but Shift+PgUp is mapped to PA3 so the user needs to remap it manually to Duplicate.

I have configured my 5250 sessions to start automatically but they error out and I have to start them again.

This can happen when you are using a wireless NIC.  When DHCP is enabled and the NIC is negotiating for an IP there may be a delay causing the session to attempt to start before the network connection is established. Using a static IP will eliminate this issue or an alternate option is to turn on Enable Automatic Reconnect and uncheck Show Foreground on the Advanced page of the session properties. If the connection fails the first time it should automatically try to reconnect without prompting the user.

I have a 5250 display and printer session configured to start automatically but the printer session always ends up the top session, how can I reverse it so the display session is on top?

This relates to the order in which the sessions are created.  The sessions start in order of creation so that the last session created is the one that comes up on top. If the printer session is created first it will be opened behind the display session.
