Short Screen Format and Operation
If your configuration includes short logon screens, you may see screens like this:
(l)======IBM 3708===EC A58S09======RIO 3708-008-01-0000222========PORT 07=======
(2)C2: Type the number of your terminal:

Figure 1-2. A 3708 Logon Screen - Short Screen Format
(1) contains the following information:
• EC number - The Engineering Change number for the 3708
• RID number - The Repair Identification number for the 3708
• Port number - The 3708 port to which you are connected.
(2) contains the following information:
• The screen number (for example, C2)
• The instructions for the screen (for example,
Type the number of your
termi na 1 :).
(3) contains the input area (the cursor is positioned here automatically when the
3708 completes transmitting the screen to your device).
Note: During the 3708 logon screen processing, your display is not operating in
full-screen mode. Full screen editing functions, such as CLEAR SCREEN and
HOME cannot be used.

Therefore, the data for each screen may not appear at the
top of the display.
If the 3708 port has been configured for short logon screens, the 3708 transmits only
the screen divider, screen title, and the input line for each screen. If you have a
question, enter a question mark (?) to display the information for a full screen. The
3708 also displays the full logon screen if you enter an invalid response. The
full-screen display continues until you enter a correct response. After you supply the
correct response, the 3708 displays the next logon screen configured for that port.
Operation Without Logon Screens
If you do not have logon screens, the first information normally sent to your
terminal (after a physical connection has been established) is a message from your
host. At this point, anything you enter at your terminal is sent to the host.

Configuration Note: If the port is configured for protocol conversion mode only, and the terminal type is
recognized by the 3708, the screen is cleared before logon screens are displayed. The screen is cleared only if no
message is to be displayed on the message line. The terminal types can be chosen by the user at logon or defined
durit):gport configuration for default terminal types.
