Null/Space Conversion
Toggle to ENABLE or DISABLE. This feature substitutes spaces for leading and embedded
nulls when updates are sent to the host, if enabled.
Delayed Power On Notify
Toggle to ENABLE or DISABLE. This feature limits the number of sessions notifying the
host at power-on, in order to alleviate excessive line traffic. LINCS does this by delaying the
Power On Notify sent to the host for background sessions until the end user toggles sessions.
It should be noted that this feature should be disabled for Non-SNA operations where consoles
are in use. If a coax terminal has multiple console sessions and the feature is enabled, then
only the first console session will come active. Background console sessions will appear to be
powered off, and the console function will roll to an alternate.

ASCII/TELNET Password
This option applies to ASCII displays defined to have a switched Line Type on the ASCII Port
Options panel for this line, and to Telnet displays. This password may also apply to TN3270
clients defined on the TN3270 Client Definition panel that include a ‘PW’ in the client type
description.
The password can be up to eight alphanumeric characters, and is case sensitive. If a user with
an ASCII display calls the modem attached to the switched ASCII line, this password must be
entered to allow access to the LINCS node.
Number of Days Password is Valid
The value entered into this field indicates how long the password is to be valid. A value of
‘000’ is interpreted as indefinitely. When the password expires, the user will be prompted to
enter the Supervisor Password (as configured on the General Options panel). When within a
week of the passwords expiration, a message will be displayed at password prompt time to
indicate how much longer the password is good for. You must press the PF4 key (twice) to
update the password information, prior to leaving this panel.
Password Beginning Date
This field is updated by LINCS when a PF4 has been entered twice on this panel with a non-
zero value in the ‘Number of Days Password is Valid’ field. The current date is entered into to
this field by LINCS at update time.
