This makes it easy for you to define the language and
keyboard combination of a terminal which you want to
connect because you only need to enter a
1
or a
2
(as
applicable) in the
11
T
11
column of the terminal field. The
terminal field consists of four columns which define (from
left to right) the port number, the device type, the device
address, and the keyboard/language combination, as follows:
PORT
DEVICE
ADR
T
The number entered under
11
port
11
defines into which
receptacle the terminal's coax cable will be plugged. The
cable receptacles are numbered sequentially 00, 01, 02,
etc. The system expects to find the operator console at
port 00, that is, it routes the operating system messages
automatically to the device connected to port 00 (using the
device address associated with port 00). The number entered
under device specifies whether the terminal is a display or
a matrix printer or a line printer (e.g. 3278-2, 3262,
etc.). The device address (ADR) defines the number under
which the program can address this device, and the T column
defines the keyboard/ language combination (when
app l i cable) .
Note: For matrix printers, only the language portion of the
keyboard/language combination is taken when a 1 or a 2 is
entered. For line printers (e.g.
3289-4 or 3262) no
language need be specified because line printers receive
their language character set via the
11
load USCB operation
11
(operating system). For line printers, the X may remain in
the T column.
The display shows the current configuration, and you may
enter your changes underneath.
In order to logically attach a device, position the cursor
under the alter field (identified by

)
of the
corresponding DEVICE (type) field and key in the applicable
device type number (3278-2, 3287, 3289 or 3262 as
applicable).
In order to logically detach a device from the system, the
operator has to key 'X
into any position of the alter
field of the corresponding DEVICE display field. When the
operator then presses the ENTER key, Xs appear in the
DEVICE display field and (automatically) in the
corresponding translate language (T) and device address
(ADR) fields.
