The Status Line; Selecting The Terminal Emulation - Neoware c50 - Thin Client User Manual

Getting Started

Selecting The Terminal Emulation

When you load TeemTalk for the first time, the DEC VT400 (7-bit) emulation will be
running by default. The current emulation can be changed in one of two ways, either
from the status line or by using a setup dialog box. When an indicator status line with
six buttons is displayed at the bottom of the window, you can change the current
DEC VT terminal emulation to any other DEC VT terminal emulation (VT52,
VT100, VT400 7-Bit or VT400 8-Bit) by clicking the button indicating the current
emulation.
All the terminal emulations supported by TeemTalk can be accessed from the Emula-
tion Settings dialog box. This is displayed by selecting Settings in the menu bar then
Emulation... The emulations available are listed in the Alpha Emulation and
Graphics Emulation boxes. To change the current emulation mode, click the pointer
on the name of the emulation required then click Ok. The new setting may be saved so
that TeemTalk will automatically run it when loaded or reset by selecting the Save
Settings option in the File menu.
Alpha Emulations
The ADDS A2 emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive the
ADDS Viewpoint A2 terminal, as emulated by the Wyse WY-50/50+/60 terminals.
Refer to the Wyse Emulations chapter for more details.
The AIXTerm emulation provides compatibility with software designed to drive an X
terminal using X Windows.
The ANSI-BBS emulation is a derivative of the ANSI device driver ANSI.SYS
supplied with all DOS based PCs and which provides the screen management for the
DOS console screen. PC based UNIX systems and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS)
often rely on the ANSI emulation when being accessed by a PC. In ANSI-BBS mode
the screen size is adjusted to 25 lines and the Preferred Font is automatically set to
ANSI-BBS. The setting of the ANSI Codepage option in this dialog box determines
the characters available in the ANSI BBS set. Refer to the Setup Menus chapter for
details.
