The following discussion guides you through the steps required for logging on.
Note: Refer to "Error Messages" on page 1-9 for all logon error messages.
Step 1. Establishing the Connection
If the terminal is directly connected, turn on the power to the terminal. If the
terminal is remotely connected, turn on the power to the terminal and modem, then
establish the connection through the modem.

could be the ENTER, SEND, or NEW LINE key; see your system administrator if
you do not know which key to press). If no logon screens appear or the Logon
Indication Screen (C4) appears,C4 go to step 5.
Step 2. Entering the Port Password
If a logon screen other than the port password screen (CI)C5 appears, go to step
3.
If screen CI appears, type your password, then press the ENTER key.
