The IBM Extension for Terminal Based Applications window is where you connect to the host and record or playback host interactions in your scripts.

Terminal Tester window

The top portion of this window contains connection configuration information, and the bottom portion contains the actual terminal. You can move the divider up or down to give more space to either portion of the window. Along the bottom of the window, you will notice the terminal session function keys that correspond to the function keys on your keyboard.

The New Connection icon (New Connection icon ) clears the fields in the top portion of the window, and resets them to default values. If you would like to save connection settings out to a file so that you can reload them at a later time, select the Save icon (Save icon ) or the Save As... icon (Save As icon ). Once you have saved you configuration, you will be able to reload the configuration file by selecting it from the pull down list or by selecting the Open icon (Open icon ).

To connect to the host using the configuration information specified, select the Connect using the Current Connection Properties icon (Connect using the Current Connection Properties icon). Select the Advanced button in the lower right corner of the top portion of this window if you need to configure advanced connection settings that you do not see on the host terminal window.
