Changes to the configured terminal characteristics (terminal type and
half/full duplex) take effect immediately. For example, changing from half
duplex to full duplex will cause the management agent to begin echoing your
input immediately. The management agent "remembers" all changes and
retains them in the event of a power failure.
Any changes to serial interface options (data bits, stop bits, parity, data rate)
are "remembered," but do not take effect until the next management agent
session; i.e., you must select
from the Main Menu and then press
Quit
RETURN
to begin a new session. When you are connected to the management agent
through a virtual circuit connection, these serial interface options have no
effect; they will, however, affect any later sessions with a directly connected
terminal.
ANSI—
"auto configures" the management agent in accordance with the
ANSI
requirements of an ANSI-standard terminal (essentially the same as a DEC
VT-100 or one of the multitude of terminals emulating the VT-100). ANSI is
also used if you want your screen to be continuously updated.
Generic—The
terminal option configures the management agent
Generic
for the lowest common denominator terminal. In this configuration, the
management agent makes very few assumptions about the terminal's
capabilities and is compatible with almost all terminals.
