Script for Launching TinyTERM Plus
This is the LaunchTT.vbs script described in the VBA automation basic documentation. It starts TinyTERM and connects to the address nerdc.ufl.edu.
| Script Command | Description | |
|---|---|---|
Set tt = WScript.CreateObject("Century.TinyTERM") |
Associates the name tt with the Century.TinyTERM program and starts an instance of it. Century.TinyTERM is the name assigned to the TinyTERM Plus executable in Windows. | |
tt.Show() |
Displays the TinyTERM Plus window. Without this, it runs without displaying anything to the user. | |
Set objte = tt.Control |
Associates the name objte with the ActiveX control currently loaded in TinyTERM. This will either be for TN3270 or TN5250 emulation. The rest of this script assumes TN3270. | |
objte.node = "nerdc.ufl.edu" |
Sets the node property of objte to the desired host address. | |
objte.ConnectionType = 0 |
Selects telnet as the connection type. For SSL/TLS, use 4 instead of 0. | |
objte.netport = 23 |
Sets the TCP port to 23, the default for telnet. | |
objte.connect() |
Calls the connect method to start the connection. |
