160 The Status Line
Once the appropriate details have been entered to establish an IBM
host session (which may be automatic), the screen is cleared and
switched into full IBM 3270 terminal emulation mode, as indicated
by the following status line symbol:
The last line of the IBM 3270 screen is used to display status infor-
mation in the form of symbols and alphanumeric characters.
Indicates that a Telnet session is running.
Indicates that you are online but the communication
protocol is not System Network Architecture (SNA).
Indicates that the current screen is a Network Virtual
Terminal screen. This screen is displayed when IBM
3270 mode is entered before a telnet session has been
initiated with the remote host. It enables you to enter login text in
ASCII format. You will be returned to this screen when you log off.
Indicates that the current screen is an IBM 3270 screen.
This screen will be displayed when you have initiated a
Telnet session with the host.
Indicates that you are currently communicating with
the host operating system, not the application.
A cross symbol will appear when input from the keyboard or mouse
will not be accepted by the host (except Reset and SysReq). Sym-
bols to the right of this will indicate the reason. Pressing the Reset
key will remove some of these symbols from the status line.
Note that the emulation includes typeahead capability so that in most
cases you can continue to enter data without waiting for the Do Not
