Introducing Terminal Emulation
This guide provides the information you need to use
Asynchronous Terminal Emulation (ATE).
ATE lets you:
o
Set up terminal environments that emulate, or
work the same way as, other terminals, such
as the AT&T 513 BCT and DEC-VT100 terminals.
While working in emulation mode, you are
using the UNIX PC screen and keyboard as if
they were the screen and keyboard of another
terminal.
o
Select terminal options that allow you to
gain access to other computers.
o
Set up automatic login sequences that
automatically log into other computers for
you.
o
Transfer data to and from other computers.
You can exchange information (files and
programs) with other computer users or call
online information systems and bulletin
boards and gain access to the wealth of
information offered by these services.
o
Print on-screen data or store it in a file.
o
Place data calls from a remote terminal.
The Terminal Emulation software works with the
Telephone Manager software.
To use Terminal Emulation,
you first create a data call entry in your telephone
Directory.
When you create the data call entry, you
specify a data profile: a file providing the
information your computer needs to place the data call.
When you place the data call through Telephone Manager,
you gain access to Terminal Emulation.
