Terminal Control
INTRODUCTION
2
This section describes the modes in which the terminal can operate, use of the function keys,
enabling and disabling the keyboard, and resetting the terminal.
SELECTING MODES
Pressing the. key enables the mode selection keys and changes the function key labels to
the following:
. . . EmlillIID!m. EEmI
IIi1WJIg
i l i a .
~
IIIIil!IBI
These keys act as toggle switches in that they alternately enable and disable the designated
mode. When a particular mode is enabled, an asterisk is displayed in the label.
Remote/Local Modes
When a communications link exists between the terminal and a remote host computer, the
terminal is in either of the following two modes:
• Remote Mode. In this mode, when you press an alphanumeric key the associated ASCII
code is transmitted to the host computer.
• Local Mode. In this mode, when you press an alphanumeric key the associated character is
displayed at the current cursor position on the screen (nothing is transmitted to the host
computer).
From the keyboard, you switch the terminal back and forth between Local and Remote modes
using the
REMOTE MODE
key.
From the keyboard or a user-definable key, you can switch the terminal from local to remote
(and vice versa) using the following escape sequences:
Local:
Ec &kOR
Remote:
