Entire Screen is not Displayed

Product

Emulation Types

Issue

I am able to successfully connect a PASSPORT session to my host, however, only a partial screen is displayed. How can I configure PASSPORT so that the entire screen is displayed?

Solution

This type of problem is normally caused by the session being configured for an incorrect screen size. To change the screen size for a session, follow the steps below:

For PASSPORT PC to Host:

1. With your PASSPORT session disconnected, select Setup from the Communication menu. Note: If your session is currently connected, Setup will be grayed out.
2. On the Connection tab, select the desired Screen Size:
   
   
3. Click Connect to connect the session.

For PASSPORT Web to Host: 

From the Client:

Instructions are the same as those for PASSPORT PC to Host.

From the Administrator:

1. Start the PASSPORT Web to Host Administrator program.
2. Open the session you wish to configure.
3. On the Connection tab, select the desired Screen Size:
   
   
4. Click OK to save or Connect to test.
