Use the proxy server pane to configure TN3270 Plus to connect to a host computer via a firewall or proxy server.
| Connect using proxy server | Check this box if you are connecting via a proxy server. |
| Use SOCKS V4 Protocol | Check this box if your proxy server uses the SOCKS version 4 protocol. |
Use proxy to resolve host names Check this box if your proxy server is capable of resolving a domain name to an IP address as specified in the SOCKS4A extension protocol (Not common.)
| Proxy Name/IP | Enter the domain name or IP address of the proxy server. |
| Proxy Port | Enter the proxy server port number. |
| Connect Command | This field is used differently for non-SOCKS compliant and SOCKS compliant proxy servers. |
For non-SOCKS compliant proxy servers , enter the connection command required by the proxy server. You can use the following variables in your connect command:
| $HOST | Replaced with the Host Name from the Host Pane. |
| $PORT | Replaced with the Port Number from the Host Pane. |
| <CR> | Sends a carriage return to the proxy server. |
| <LF> | Sends a line feed to the proxy server. |
For example, WinGate, a popular proxy server/firewall, prompts the user for the host name and port number. The following "Connect Command" string works with WinGate:
| $HOST:$PORT<CR><LF> |
For a SOCKS compliant proxy server, enter the USERID for SOCKS authentication.
