PREPARING TO USE AN APPLICATION PROGRAM
3
To use an application program, the workstation must be connected
to a computer that has the application program; and the microcode·
from the appropriate flexible disk must be loaded in the
workstation.
If the workstation is turned off, the computer is not connected
and the microcode is not loaded. To use an application program,
you must:
1. Turn on the workstation.
2. If a disk is in the drive, press the Eject switch, remove the
disk and check that the disk is the one to'make the
worksta~ion operate as the type of workstation you want to
use. For example, if you want the workstation to operate
similar to a Tektronx 4115 workstation, you want to use a
TEKEM (or TEKEM+) disk. Check that the write-protect slot of
the disk is open. Insert the disk, metal edge first, label
side up. The red disk-active light will come on for a
moment. When it goes off, press the RESET SYSTEM swtich.
NOTE
The only time the write-protect slot
of a TEKEM (or TEKEM+) disk should be
closed, is the first time the· disk is
used on a workstation - see appendix
F, Initial Terminal Status Communi
cations setup.
3. It will take the disk about 80 seconds to load. When the
READY FOR INPUT prompt appears on the screen of the text
display, you are ready to connect to and/or log on to the
host computer system.
4. How to connect and log on to the host system depends upon how
your workstation is connected to the host computer, to which
host computer you are connected, and what application program
you will use. See your supervisor for this information.
