| Use the Terminal Settings dialog to configure your connection. |
| In the Connection Type field choose Serial, SSH or Telnet. |
| The View Title field allows giving a name to your Terminal View instance. |
| If you choose a serial connection, the Settings area has seven options: Port, Baud Rate, Data Bits, Stop Bits, Parity, Flow Control, and Timeout. |
| When you have entered your settings, click OK. This initiates your connection. |
| Your connection information appears in the header of the Terminal view. A cursor appears in the view itself. Hit ENTER to get a >NET> prompt. |
|
NOTE:When using the Terminal view on Linux or Solaris, serial ports ttyS0 and ttyS1 must have appropriate permissions set in order to connect to them, unless you are running the Workbench as root. | |
|
If you choose an SSH connection, the Settings area has six options.
In the Host and Port fields, enter the IP Address and port of the host
you wish to connect to.
The User field specifies the remote user id to use.
The Password field is optional, since SSH can re-use your private keys
as specified on the Eclipse Preferences, General, Network Page.
The Timeout can be changed for very slow networks. The
KeepAlive value specifies an interval in seconds, by which the Terminal
automatically sends a packet to the remote host in order to keep the connection
alive even in case of inactivity.
When all settings are specified, click OK. This initiates your connection. |
| If you choose a Telnet connection, the Settings area has three options. In the Host field, enter the IP Address of the host you wish to connect to. In the Port field, select the network port you wish to use. The Timeout can be changed for very slow networks. Then click OK. This initiates your connection. |
| Your connection information appears in the header of the Terminal view. A cursor appears in the view itself. Hit ENTER to get a >NET> prompt. |
