Instance Name
| Enter a database instance to access. The instance name should only be

Note: This field is not enabled if Use Oracle8i Release 8.0 Compatible Identification option is checked. |
Session Data Unit (SDU)
| Enter the session data unit size to change the performance characteristics having to do with the packets
sent across the network. The SDU size should be set as a multiple of the normal transport frame size. Since the normal Ethernet frame size is 1500, the most efficient SDU size over Ethernet should be a multiple of 1500.
