Using a Workstation as a Terminal

If you need to use another workstation to emulate a terminal, type the following next to
the "$" shell prompt:
$emt < RETURN >
When you receive the "emt > " prompt, enter the following three command lines:
emt > line1 < RETURN >
emt > raw
emt > tctl -line1 -default < RETURN >
The workstation replies with the message
emt > EMT remote node .... F1 to exit
To enter Terminal mode (Remote mode), press the F1 function key.
You are now ready to connect a cable from SIO line 1 on the EMT system to an SIO
port on the system that you need to access. You need to use an RS-232 extension cable
because the system's SIO output is configured as a DTE. Use a null modem between
the two systems. When you are finished using the node in the Remote mode, press the
F1 function key to exit emt.
