Connection Method

Setting	Description
Network	Configure a host connection through a network.
Serial Port	Configure a host connection through a serial port on your PC.
Modem	Configure a host connection through a modem. The modem must first be configured in Windows.

These options are available only when you have selected Network under Connection Method.

Setting	Description
Telnet	Select to use your PC as a virtual terminal over a TCP/IP connection. When Telnet is the selected protocol, you can configure secure connections using SSL/TLS.
Secure Shell	Select for secure, encrypted communications between a trusted host and your PC over an insecure network. When you select Secure Shell, all connections between your PC and the remote host(s) are encrypted, protecting the data sent between these machines.
Rlogin	Select to use your PC as a virtual terminal over a TCP/IP connection.

Setting	Description
Host name/IP address	Identify the host to which you will connect. Type the host name, alias, or numeric IP address. Note: Both IPv4 addresses (in the form 127.0.0.1) and IPv6 addresses (in the form 2001:0db8:3c4d:0015:0000:0000:abcd:ef12) are accepted.
User name	Type a name that identifies you or your PC to the host. This option is enabled only for Secure Shell or Rlogin connections.
SSH configuration scheme	Type a descriptive name to label these connection settings, making them available for use with other Secure Shell sessions. If you leave this field blank, and make changes to any connection settings, Reflection saves the configuration scheme using the value from the Host name/IP address field.
Handle SSH User authentication in terminal window	For Secure Shell connections, display user name and password prompts in the terminal window instead of in a dialog box.
Security	Secure data communications with Secure Shell, SOCKS, or SSL/TLS.
More Settings	Configure additional settings.

These options are available only when you have selected Serial Port under Connection Method.

Setting	Description
Serial port to use	Reflection detects available serial ports on your PC and displays them here.
Parity	Set the parity for data transmission to and from the serial device on this port. This setting determines whether a parity bit is generated for each character transmitted. Parity is used to detect errors in data transmission; the number preceding the slash indicates the number of data bits sent. To use the multinational character set or 8-bit controls, Parity must be set to one of the values that offers 8-bit controls. If your communications link generates parity, and you set Parity to 8/None, multinational characters appear on your screen. In this case, set Parity to either 8/Even or 8/Odd.
Baud	Set the rate at which Reflection transmits and receives data through the selected serial port. The baud rate setting must match the baud rate of your direct connection.
More Settings	Configure additional settings.

These options are available only when you have selected Modem under Connection Method.

Setting	Description

(When No is selected, the session is left open and disconnected.) - Leave disconnected: specifies to leave the session disconnected with the session open. - Close session automatically specifies to close the session.
