Figure 2-7. Control Terminal Password Screen (C5)
Each 3708 port can be customized to use any of the 3708 logon screens if the port is
configured as follows:
• If a port is configured with no password, the Port Password screen (Cl) is not
displayed, even if the PORT PASSWORD SCREEN option is set to "Yes".
• If a port is configured for protocol enveloping mode only, the Terminal Type
Selection screen (C2) is not displayed because the 3708 does not use the terminal
ID in this operating mode.
• If a port is configured with no Terminal Type Selection screen (C2) and is used
for protocol conversion mode, the correct terminal ID must be specified in the
port configuration.
• If a port is configured with either no 3708 logon screens or no Host Selection
screen (C3), the 3708 will not activate the port until an ACTLU is received from
the host. For a switched connection, the 3708 will not activate its interface to
the modem and will not answer a call from a user. (Some modems may be set
so that they will answer a call, even if the interface to the 3708 is not active.)
Also, you cannot access the 3708 control terminal if the Host Selection screen
(C3) is suppressed or if all logon screens are suppressed.
• If a port is configured for protocol conversion only, the screen is cleared before
each new logon screen, and just after an active host has been selected. This
clearing mode begins after one of these conditions:
Short Logon Screens
A correct response is received to the Terminal Type Selection screen (C2)
As soon as the port is activated (if screen C2 is not to be used).
Another customization function available for the 3708 logon screens is short logon
screens. When a port is configured for this option, the 3708 displays only three lines
for each new logon screen. The three lines are:
1. The introducer line containing the 3708 EC number and the user's port number
2. The instruction line
3. The user input line.
If a "?" or incorrect response is entered, the 3708 displays the long form of the
screen. Figure 2-8 on page 2-10 shows examples of the short screen format.
