Situation

Connecting to a host configured for a double-byte language may not result in the display of the expected double-byte characters.


Resolution

Follow these steps to properly configure the Reflection emulation session.

1. When creating the document, select Model ID 5555-C01. This is the only ID which supports double-byte characters.
2. Select the appropriate host code page.
3. Select 'Configure additional settings' and click OK.


4. Click 'Configure Terminal Settings' and then OK.


5. Enable 'Support double-byte character set' and click OK.


You should now be able to login and see the configured double-byte characters.

Cause

Invalid characters can be displayed in an emulation session if Reflection is not configured correctly.
