Introduction
When SYSTEM ATTACH, IBM 3151, or IBM 3101 is selected for the machine
mode in the setup menu, the new machine mode is immediately saved. That'is, if
you select SYSTEM ATTACH and exit setup menu without performing the Save
function, the machine mode is set to SYSTEM ATTACH. The machine mode
'will also be set to SYSTEM ATTACH the next time power is turned on.
On the other hand, when one of the ten ASCII terminals or the DEC VT220 is
selected for the machine mode in the setup menu, the new machine mode is not
saved at this point. That is, if you select VT100 and exit setup menu without
performing the Save function, the machine mode is set to VT100. However, the
machine mode will not be set to VT100 the next time power is turned on.
Instead, the latest saved machine mode for the DEC VT220 machine group will
be set. You must perform the Save function to save the machine mode in this
case.
When you power-on the display station the first time with the cartridge inserted,
the machine mode is
~t
to VT200 Control 7.

versa. The Machine Mode Switch function is performed when the Send key is
pressed while holding down the etrl and Shi/{ keys (hereinafter referred to as
