Character Protocol Engine properties (server-specific)

Attributes on the Character Protocol Engine Properties For... panel of Array Manager let you tune terminal emulator processes for a particular array member. The attributes apply independently to each Tarantella server.

From the command line, use tarantella config to view and edit these settings.

Changes to these attributes take effect for new Protocol Engines only. Existing Protocol Engines are not affected.
