Configuring the Terminal
Whenever the terminal configuration menu is displayed
on the screen, the terminal is implicitly in format mode.
The menu contains a set of unprotected fields that you
access using the _
and . . keys. Except when the
cursor is positioned in the fields labeled
"RETURN Def",
"PrinterNull!i", "Start Col", "FldSeparator",
"BlkTermnator",
or
"Implied Dec Digit",
the al-
phanumeric keys are disabled and you select the desired
parameters using the
"H£XT CHO ICE"
<_)
and
"PREV I OUS
CHOICE" < . . )
function keys.
The meanings of the various fields are described in
table 2-2.

Table 2-2. Terminal Configuration Menu Fields
This field specifies whether the terminal's bell speaker is enabled or disabled. When disabled, the
bell will NOT sound when the cursor nears the end of a line nor when the cursor advances from.one
field to the next in a formatted display. The bell will, however, still sound in response to an ASCII Bell
control code (decimal 7; control-G).
The bell is used for alerting the operator to certain conditions (errors, end-of-line, end-of-field).
Values: 01' 1 (bell enabled)
orr
(bell disabled)
Default: 01' 1
The terminal is capable of producing an audible "click" as each key is pressed. This field specifies
whether that feature is enabled or disabled.
Values: 01' 1 (click enabled)
orr
(click disabled)
Default: 01' 1
This field specifies what line frequency (50 or 60 Hz) the terminal is designed to operate at. The
screen refresh rate is then synchronized to the specified frequency. If this field is set to the wrong
value, the images on the screen will pulsate visibly.
Values: 50 (for 50 Hz power source)
60 (for 60 Hz power source)
Default: 60
When this feature is enabled, pressing the _
key generates the number of ASCII space codes
required to move the cursor forward to the next tab stop. If no tab stops exist between the current
cursor position and the end of the line, the bell sounds and no spaces are generated. Similarly,
pressing the . . key generates the number of ASCII backspace codes required to move the
cursor backward to the preceding tab stop (if the cursor is already located at the left margin when
the backtab is attempted, the bell sounds and no backspaces are generated).
Note that when operating in local mode, this function actually changes data characters within
display memory to spaces. In remote mode, the spaces are transmitted over the data comm port
and the data characters within display memory are NOT changed unless the spaces are echoed
back (either locally or from the host computer).
Values:
YES
(Tab
=
Spaces enabled)
1' 1 0 (Tab
=
Spaces disabled)
Default: 1' 1 0
