Notes for Remote Terminal Users

The appearance of the graphical interface depends on the color and font settings used by your terminal window. The screen captures in this document were made using the default color and font settings in a PuTTy terminal application running on a Windows platform.

If you are using a remote terminal application, such as PuTTy or a Cygwin bash shell, make sure your window is at least 81 characters wide and 23 characters high.

If you are using PuTTY, you can make the Administration Tools look like the screen captures in this document:

  1. In a PuTTY window, right click the title area and select Change Settings.
  2. Create or load a saved session.
  3. In the Category dialog, click Window > Appearance.
  4. In the Font settings, click the Change... button.
  5. Select Font: Courier New: Regular Size: 10
  6. Click Apply.

Repeat these steps for each existing session that you use to run the Administration Tools.

You can also change the translation to support UTF-8:

  1. In a PuTTY window, right click the title area and select Change Settings.
  2. Create or load a saved session.
  3. In the Category dialog, click Window > Translation.
  4. In the "Received data assumed to be in which character set" drop-down menu, select UTF-8.
  5. Click Apply.
