Applet parameter values: yes,
no,
true,
false
Default value: no
Description
Whether JET 6530 disables functionality allowing
connection to hosts other than the allowed host (see below) and
hosts specified in web sessions.
When set to yes if local sessions
are opened then the allowed host is used (and displayed in
the Session Settings dialog box) instead of the host specified
by the local session. The Hostname and Port fields on the
Session Settings dialog box are disabled.
Applet parameter name:

Applet parameter values: yes,
no,

the creation of new
JET 6530 windows, except via the Startup Operation preference.
Applet parameter name:
disable_preferences
Applet parameter values: yes,
no,
true,
false
Default value: no
Description
Whether JET 6530 disables the display and modification of
preferences.
When set to yes JET 6530's
preferences cannot be displayed or changed. Also, preferences are
set from the applet parameters, any saved preference on the local
file system are ignored.
When set to yes the following
user interface compents are not displayed:
- Preferences menu item on the Session menu
- Preferences toolbar button
Applet parameter name:
disable_session_settings
Applet parameter values: yes,
no,
true,
false
Default value: no
Description
Whether JET 6530 disables the display and modification of
session settings and the use and saving of local sessions.
When set to yes:
- session settings cannot be displayed or changed;
- local sessions cannot be opened or saved;
- new sessions cannot be created;
- only web sessions can be opened; and
- script files cannot be automatically generated by recording
sessions
When set to yes the following
user interface compents are not displayed:
- Settings menu item on the Session menu
- Session Settings toolbar button
- New, Save and Save As menu items on the Session menu
- New Session, Save Session and Save Session As toolbar buttons
- Record Session for Script menu item on the Connection menu
- Record Session for Script toolbar button
- New Window and New Session buttons in the browser window
If the startup operation specified is New Window or New Session
it will be ignored and buttons will be displayed in the browser
window as if None had been specified.
Applet parameter name:
allowed_hostname
Applet parameter values: Hostname or IP address
Default value: localhost
Description
The name or IP address of the host users are allowed to
connect to using local sessions when
disable_hostname_port is set to
yes.
Applet parameter name:
allowed_port
Applet parameter values: 0 to 65535
Default value: 23
Description
The port number of the host users are allowed to
connect to using local sessions when
disable_hostname_port is set to
yes.
Applet parameter name:
ignore_meta_for_unix
Applet parameter values: yes,
no,
true,
false
Default value: yes
Description
Whether JET 6530 ignores the Meta key when running under
Unix or Linux. With Communicator under some versions of Unix
and Linux JET 6530 receives Alt and Meta when only
Alt was pressed. In this situation ignoring the Meta key
allows the default
keyboard mappings that include Alt to be used.
Note: The operating system is assumed to be Unix or Linux
if the operating system name as given by the browser (i.e. the
os.name system property) does not start with "windows", "mac"
or "os/2", ignoring case.
Applet parameter name:
key_activity_timeout
Applet parameter values: 0 to 65535
Default value: 0
Description
Number of minutes JET 6530 waits before
disconnecting due to no key
activity. This parameter may be used to ensure connections
that are no longer in use are not unnecessarily maintainted.
The timeout is applied to each session seperately, key activity on one
session will not prevent another from being disconnected.
If the value is 0 then the timeout feature is disabled and
JET 6530 will not disconnect.
Applet parameter name:
startup_session
Applet parameter values: session name
Default value: empty
Description
The session opened if the startup operation is Open Session or
Open Session in New Window and either override_saved_startup_session is set to
yes or the Startup Session preference is empty.
If override_saved_startup_session
is set to yes then this applet
parameter overrides the Startup Session preference (from the
saved preferences), unless this applet parameter is empty. If
this applet parameter is empty the Startup Session preference
controls the session opened.
If override_saved_startup_session
is set to no then this applet
parameter is ignored and the Startup Session preference
controls the session opened, unless the preference is empty.
If the preference is empty this applet parameter controls the
session opened.
If both this applet parameter and the Startup Session preference are
empty then an Open Session dialog box is displayed.
If both a web session and a local session with the specified name
exist then the web session is opened.

Applet parameter name:

When set to yes the startup_session applet parameter
overrides the Startup Session preference (from the saved
preferences file) and controls the session opened, unless the
applet parameter is empty.
When set to no the Startup Session preference (from the saved
preferences file) controls the session opened, unless the preference
is empty.
See the description of the startup_session applet parameter for
futher information on the interaction between the startup_session applet parameter and the
Startup Session preference.
Applet parameter name:
web_session_name_x
(x is an integer greater than or equal to 0)
Applet parameter values: strings
Default value: empty
Description
The name of web session number x. This name will appear
on the Open Session dialog box in the Web Sessions list.
Applet parameter name:
web_session_url_x
(x is an integer greater than or equal to 0)
Applet parameter values: valid HTTP and file URLs
Default value: empty
The URL of web session number x. If the user opens web
session x the session file will be loaded from this URL.
Applet parameter name:
last_web_session
Applet parameter values: integers greater than or equal to
-1
Default value: -1
The number of the highest numbered web session or -1 if there
are no web sessions. JET 6530 will only recognise web sessions
numbered from 0 to last_web_session. For example, if web sessions
numbered 1, 2 and 3 are defined then last_web_session should be 3.
