The X Window System, also called X, is a network-based graphics window system originally developed for workstations running UNIX. Cisco Systems has developed an XRemote application that allows the XRemote capabilities of X terminals to run on the communication server. Information in this chapter will help you understand the X Windows system and how to configure your communication server to support XRemote connections.
Use the commands in this chapter to configure XRemote. For XRemote configuration information and examples, see the Protocol Translator Configuration Guide. For information about establishing XRemote connections, see the Communication Server and Protocol Translator Connection Guide.
To display XRemote connections and monitor XRemote traffic through the protocol translator, use the show xremote EXEC command.
show xremoteThis command has no arguments or keywords.
EXEC
The show xremote command displays XRemote parameters applied to the entire system, as well as statistics that are pulled for all active XRemote connections.
The following is sample output from the show xremote command when XRemote is enabled on a protocol translator and XRemote sessions are active:

Table 1-1 earlier in this chapter describes the fields shown in the display.
To change the buffer size used for loading font files, use the xremote tftp buffersize global configuration command. To restore the buffer size to the default value, use the no form of this command.
xremote tftp buffersize [buffersize]| buffer-size | (Optional.)Buffer size in bytes. This is decimal number in the range is 4096 to 70,000 bytes. |
70,000 bytes
Global configuration
When an X terminal requests that a font file be loaded, the protocol translator first must load the font file into an internal buffer before passing it to the X terminal. The default value of 70,000 bytes is adequate for most font files, but the size can be increased as necessary for nonstandard font files.
The buffer size can be set as low as 4096 bytes and as large as the available memory on the protocol translator will allow. If you are using LAT font access, you should not lower the buffer size below the default, because the font directory for all of the LAT fonts (created internally) requires 70,000 bytes.
This command applies to both TFTP and LAT font access.
The following example sets the buffer size to 20,000 bytes:
xremote tftp buffersize 20000
To add a specific TFTP font server as a source of fonts for the terminal, use the xremote tftp host global configuration command. To remove a font server from the list, use the no form of this command.
xremote tftp host [host-name]| host-name | Name of the host containing fonts. |
None
Global configuration
Each time a new host name is entered, the list on the protocol translator is updated. Font servers are queried in the order of their definition when the X terminal requests a font.
The following example sets the host name to IBM-1:
xremote tftp host IBM-1
To specify the number of retries the font loader will attempt before declaring an error condition, use the xremote tftp retries global configuration command. To restore the default number the retries, use the no form of this command.
xremote tftp retries [retries]| retries | (Optional.)Number of retries. This is a decimal number in the range 1 to 15. |
3 retries
Global configuration
Under certain conditions, you might need to increase the number of retries, particularly if the font servers are known to be heavily loaded.
The following example sets the font loader retries to 5:
xremote tftp retries 5
