Use

SAPVtio was developed to provide an easy and vendor-independent way to use SAPConsole from all prominent RF devices. It takes advantage of the fact that all devices have built-in support for telnet emulation.

For devices that support ANSI/vt220 telnet emulation, you do not need an external I/O Engine, but only a running telnet server and SAPVtio as the I/O Engine.

Although the telnet protocol and the emulation are well known and accepted independent standards, there are sometimes subtleties in the way different RF vendors and different telnet servers implement them. SAPVtio can easily be configured to work with different implementations. This flexibility allows SAPVtio to support the widest range of devices and telnet servers.

For any profile, for which you choose SAPVtio as I/O Engine, you need to configure it to support the environment, in which it is to work. If you choose SAPVtio, the Config. button in the "Terminal Engine" section of the SAPConsole Administrator will be enabled. Click on it to open the configuration options for SAPVtio: SAP Terminal Server Configuration
