Chapter 2. Getting Started
This chapter explains how to make Entry Assist work on your control unit. It also
explains how to customize your keyboard.
How to Make Entry Assist Work
On a 3174 Control Unit
You do not need to do anything special to make Entry Assist work. The Entry
Assist function works automatically and requires no control unit customizing.
On a 3274 Control Unit
You can find the procedure for making the Entry Assist function work on a 3274
Control Unit in the IBM 3270 Information Display System: 3274 Control Unit Cus
tomizing Guide.
How to Customize Your Keyboard
To customize your keyboard for the Entry Assist function, do the following:
1. Apply the stick-on labels (32 sets of six labels, which are shipped with the
control unit) to the keyboards. Use replacement keytops (which can be
ordered) on the 3278 and 3279 keyboards.
2. Refer to Figure 1 on page 8, Figure 2 on page 8, and Figure 3 on page 9.
Choose the figure that matches the keyboard you have and look at the bold-
outlined blocks to see how to apply the stick-on labels. Stick-on labels are
supplied with all 3174 and 3274 units that use Configuration Support 0.
3. Wash each keytop with soap and water and allow it to dry thoroughly before
you apply the labels.
4. Pick each keytop label off the label form with a sharp-pointed knife (or a
similar device), then position the label on the keytop.
5. Press the label down with a fingertip.
If you want permanent keyboard installations on 3278 and 3279 display units, you
can purchase an Accessory Kit, which contains eight sets of five replacement
keytops engraved for use with Entry Assist, a keytop extractor tool, and Keytop
Replacement Instructions. (See "Keyboards" on page 4.)
If you use the RPQ 8K1038 keyboard, install RPQ 8K1230 or 8K1231.
