SECTION 14
VT100 MODE
The VIPer utilizes a feature known as VT100 Mode. This mode enables your single board
computer to run without a local keyboard or screen. That is, operation can be controlled
via a remote terminal supporting VT100 Mode or a computer with a terminal emulation
program (for example, Telix, Procomm).
14.01 REQUIREMENTS
To use VT100 Mode, the board must be supplied with ±12 volts. This is the voltage
required by the RS-232 drivers.
The terminal you are using should emulate a VT100 or ANSI terminal. Although this is
not an absolute requirement, strange characters may appear on screen if it does not. This
occurs because the VT100 recognizes these control characters, and causes them to perform
a specific function, for example, screen erase, cursor position, and so on.
