Specifies the time that ZIETrans attempts to connect to a host. Specify a number of seconds between 1 and 2147483647. The initial default is 120 seconds.
description
Specifies the description for the connection when it was created.
disableFldShp
When using a bidirectional code page, specifies whether you want Arabic data in password fields submitted to the host in isolated form or in shaped form. Valid values are true and false. There is no initial default.
disableNumSwapSubmit
When using a bidirectional code page, specifies whether you want to disable entry of Arabic-Western numbers, that is, allow entry of only Arabic-Indic numbers in RTL screens.

enableScrRev
When using a bidirectional code page, specifies which pages of an application should display a Screen Reverse button to enable users to reverse the direction of displayed text and input fields. Valid values are:
(blank)
The Screen Reverse button is not placed on any screens.
Customized
The Screen Reverse button is placed on screens that match a screen customization and on screens that do not match a screen customization, in other words, on all screens. There is no option to place the Screen Reverse button only on screens that match a screen customization.
Non-customized

There is no initial default.
host
Specifies the name of the host to which the connection is made.
hostSimulationName
Specifies the name of the host simulation trace file to use instead of a live connection.
LUName
Valid only on enhanced 3270 sessions (TNEnhanced="true"). Sets the LUName property, which is the LU name used during enhanced negotiation. Values are in string format. Maximum length of LUName is 17 characters. There is no default. To configure print support for your 3270 ZIETrans project, you must specify that the host type is 3270E. When you add the LUName parameter to the list of connection settings, do not use the printer LU name; use the name of your display LU or a pool of display LUs.
LUNameSource
Valid only on enhanced 3270 sessions (TNEnhanced="true"). Specifies the source of the LU name for the connection. Valid values are:
automatic
The LU name is automatically assigned when the connection is established.
prompt
Prompt the end user for the LU name. If pooling is enabled, prompt should not be used.
session
The LU name is defined using an HTTP session variable. The LUName attribute names the session variable. If pooling is enabled, session should not be used.
value
The LU name is defined on the LUName attribute.
There is no initial default.
port
Specifies the number of the port through which the connection to the host is made. The valid range for ports is 0–65535. The initial default is 23.
screenSize
Specifies the number of rows and columns that the host terminal displays. Valid values for screenSize are:
  • 2=24x80
  • 3=32x80
  • 4=43x80

sessionType
Specifies the type of terminal the host terminal displays. Valid values for type are:
  • 1=3270
  • 2=5250
  • 3=VT
The initial default is 3270.
