Terminal Emulation; Terminal Display Setup - Sharp Zaurus ZR-5700 Operation Manual

Terminal emulation

There are two terminal emulation modes, TTY (teletype-
writer) and the more advanced VT100 (VT stands for
video terminal). In the dialing entry, select the terminal
emulation mode the remote computer system supports.
You can configure terminal parameters (Cursor Shape,
Cursor Translate (Horizontal and Vertical), Tab, Auto
Repeat and Wrap Around) to suit your requirements.
Default settings work well for most communications, but
you may sometimes need to change emulation settings,
see page 151. Use the VT100 numeric keypad on the
display like function keys on a standard computer.
To use the VT100 keypad in on-line mode:
1. Once connected, touch UTILS and select
"Pop up Numeric Keypad".
2.
Touch the keys on the keypad as required.
• The keypad is a movable window, so you can
move it to any place on the display. Touch the top
left corner and drag the keypad to the new
location.
• The keyboard is inactive when the keypad is
displayed.
3.
Touch Cancel when you have finished with
the keypad.

Terminal display setup

Your unit's display is smaller than most standard
personal computers. Terminal SETUP lets you select a
Fixed or Virtual screen display, and choose between
Small and Large fonts.
Fixed Screen (Wrap Text):
Text that does not fit on a line wraps to a new
line.
Virtual Screen (80 Chr):
The display forms a window and text is displayed
in the same format as a conventional remote
terminal. Use the cursor keys to view text off the
display. Default cursor key settings move the
display window 40 characters horizontally or 8
lines vertically.
Use Small Font:
Selects display using a small font.
Use Large Font:
Selects display using a large font.
