  • Page 10 • The IBM 3270 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the IBM 3270 terminal. Note that the initial display is an ASCII text screen known as Net- work Virtual Terminal mode (NVT mode for short). The setting of the IBM Model option determines the size of the display and whether or not extended attributes are supported.
  • Page 11 3278 settings with the E extension provide support for the following extended attributes (these are supported by the 3279 as standard): • 3270 Field Attributes • Extended Highlighting • Foreground Color • Query Reply Inbound Structured Fields The IBM 5250 Model option enables you to specify a particular terminal to emulate. The terminal types supported and their display characteristics are listed below.
  • Page 12 Selecting TCP/IP in the Host Information dialog box then clicking the Advanced button causes the TCP/IP Telnet Configuration dialog box to be displayed. Note that the options available and the default settings depend on the current terminal emulation (for example, the '3270' options are only applicable when running the IBM 3270 emulation, 'VT400' when running DEC VT400 emulation, and so on).
  • Page 13 When running the IBM 3270 emulation, the setting of this option determines whether or not support of TN3270E is suppressed. When selected, additional options are available by clicking the TN3270 Options button. These are described in the TN3270 Options section. When running the IBM 5250 emulation, the setting of this option determines whether or not support of TN5250E is suppressed.
  • Page 14 The Connect box is used to enter the name of the device which the server is requested to assign to this Telnet session; it may be used when requesting either a terminal or a printer session. (This is implemented as described in RFC 1646 and RFC 1647.) The Associate box is available when the IBM 3270 Model option is set to 3287-1 (a printer).
  • Page 15 The Device Name option enables you to enter the name of the device (up to 10 characters) which the server requests to assign to this Telnet session. The User, Password, Library and Menu options enable you to specify the initial entries required on the standard startup screen so that it can be bypassed.
  • Page 16 Factory default: None This option specifies the parity mode for each transmitted character. If the number of Data Bits is 8, set this option to None. Selecting Odd causes an eighth bit to be added with a value of 1 if the previous 7 bits add up to an even number, and 0 if the previous 7 bits add up to an odd number.
  • Page 17 The command bar provides access to a series of menus and buttons which enable you to configure the terminal emulator and perform various functions. Two menus can be displayed from the command bar. These are headed File and Settings. Refer to the Setup Menus chapter for a complete discussion on selecting and using the options in these menus.

  • Page 19 Along the bottom of the display is a status bar that shows the status of various operations and enables you to switch between modes. The information displayed in the status bar depends on the current terminal emulation. The following description applies when run- ning any of the DEC VT terminal emulations, though some of the fields and buttons are applicable to other emulations as well.
  • Page 20 The scroll bar enables you to display lines that are stored in memory above or below the view of the window. The display buffer (i.e. the memory containing the lines above, in, and below the window view) can hold up to a maximum of 999 lines. The setting of the Display Rows and Memory Rows options in the Terminal Settings dialog box deter- mines the number of lines currently displayed and stored in the buffer.
  • Page 21 A hotspot facility is provided which enables you to invoke a function by clicking on a key- word displayed on the screen. For example, an application may display information relat- ing to keys you can press to perform a particular function. Instead of pressing the key on the keyboard, you could invoke the function by holding down the Control key and click- ing the mouse pointer on the key name on the display (assuming default mouse configura- tion).
  • Page 23 chapter 2 This chapter describes how to configure the keyboard, define key functions, and compose special characters. The emulator must be configured for the nationality of the keyboard being used; other- wise, the characters displayed may not match the key legends. The nationality is specified using the Keyboard Language option in the Emulation Settings dialog box, which is displayed by selecting Emulation in the Settings menu.
  • Page 24 You can redefine the function of keys on the keyboard using the Define Keyboard Mac- ros dialog box that is displayed by selecting Keyboard Macros in the Settings menu. This enables you to redefine the function of most of the keys on your keyboard, including the key combinations listed below: •...

Displayable characters are alphanumeric, symbolic, or graphic characters that can be dis- played on the screen or printed by a hard copy device. Control characters enable the termi- nal emulation or the printer to perform specific tasks, such as a line feed or carriage return.
  • Page 112 The ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) character set is selected when the Keyboard Language option in the Emulation Settings dialog box is set to North American, or the National option is not selected (i.e. Multinational mode is selected). This table forms the first half of the Multinational character set, the second half of which may be the DEC Additional or one of the ISO Latin Additional sets (as deter- mined by the Preferred Font option in the Terminal Settings dialog box).
  • Page 113 This table shows the characters that replace certain ASCII characters when the National option in the Emulation Settings dialog box is selected. The national character set con- sists of the ASCII set with the changed characters listed on the line for the selected key- board nationality.
  • Page 114 This is one of three possible second halves of the Multinational character set (the first half is the ASCII character set and the other possible second halves are the ISO Latin-1 and ISO Latin-2 Additional character sets). These characters may be generated when the ter- minal is in VT400 7 or 8 bit mode, the National option in the Emulation Settings dialog box is not selected (i.e.

  • Page 117 This table forms the second half of the ANSI 437 character set, the first half being the ASCII character set. The ANSI 437 character set is used when the Preferred Font option in the Terminal Set- tings dialog box is set to ANSI and the ANSI Code option is set to 437.
  • Page 118 This table forms the second half of the ANSI 850 character set, the first half being the ASCII character set. The ANSI 850 character set is used when the Preferred Font option in the Terminal Set- tings dialog box is set to ANSI and the ANSI Code option is set to 850.
  • Page 119 This table forms the second half of the ANSI 852 character set, the first half being the ASCII character set. The ANSI 852 character set is used when the Preferred Font option in the Terminal Set- tings dialog box is set to ANSI and the ANSI Code option is set to 852.
  • Page 120 This table forms the second half of the ANSI 1250 character set, the first half being the ASCII character set. The ANSI 1250 character set is used when the Preferred Font option in the Terminal Settings dialog box is set to ANSI and the ANSI Code option is set to 1250.
  • Page 121 This is a special DEC character set which is used by some applications.
  • Page 122 This character set is used by all Wyse emulations and associated emulations. In WY-60 mode this is the default primary character set.
  • Page 123 This Wyse character set is only available in WY-60 mode and is the secondary character set when the ANSI Code option in the Terminal Settings dialog box is set to 437.
