OPERATION ________________________________________________ __
HOST TERMINAL
The 820-11 may be used as a terminal to communicate with a host computer or time share system. Like the
typewriter feature, the terminal features are in the hardware and do not require any additional software
(unless you want additional capabilities available with communication software). As a host terminal, 820-11
operates in the full duplex mode and can be remotely connected to the computer using dial-up modems or
data sets.
In the terminal mode up to 700 lines of information can be typed on the screen or received through
communications, stored in memory, printed and saved on disk.
You can use either the communications or printer port. If no port (parameter) is specified, the communica-
tions port will be used. To use the printer port, you would select B as the optional channel parameter (see
directions below).
USING THE HOST TERMINAL
To use the Host Terminal application follow the instructions below. If you should make a mistake at any time
you may touch the CTRL
+
ESC key and start over.
• Set the Baud rate (speed) and select the communications (Comm) port.
Example: Type 87 A and press the RETURN key to select 1200 baud and the communications port.
