Off-Line Operation - Data General Dasher D461 User Manual

custom-character definitions must be created and saved in a data file or
program on the host computer system. Then, on user request, the
character definitions can be transmitted to the terminal and saved in the
DLL memory.
Off-Line Operation
As shown in Section B of Figure 1-6, in the ofT-line state no connection
exists between the terminal and the host computer. If a communication
link to the host does exist and the terminal is on-line, you can switch to
ofT-line operation by pressing the ON LINE key while holding down the
CMD key.
The terminal can perform all functions ofT-line, but you must enter all
display characters and commands manually at the keyboard. With the
terminal ofT-line, data entered at the keyboard is interpreted directly by
the display unit.
