Keyboards

The “PC” keyboards, including the EPC (101-key) and the PC/+ (106/107-key), are
similar in style and feature a number of key groups.

The alphanumeric keypad is the main typewriter keypad, while the function key
group lies along the top of the keyboard and can be programmed locally or downloaded
from the host. The numeric keypad is the calculator-style set of keys on the right-hand
side of the keyboard, used to enter numeric data.

The cursor and edit keypads, located to the left of the numeric keypad, allows users to
edit text and move around in the document. The communication key group, above
the edit keypad, is used to control communications with the host or printer.

The ANSI keyboard varies from the PC keyboard styles mainly in that it features 20
function keys, a set of PF-keys, and a different style numeric keypad.

For each keyboard, there is a set of local “hot-keys.” They perform a variety of
terminal functions, such as “Print Screen” and “Enter Setup.” (See the Appendix for
a complete list of local functions.)

Usage Notes 7

8 Introduction

Communications

This terminal is equipped with three ports. The two serial ports are intended for
connecting to either a host/modem or a serial printer. The remaining port is a
Centronics-compatible printer port. The port you use as the printer port depends on
whether you have a serial or a parallel interface to the printer. Another factor affecting
your port selection is your choice of connecting the terminal to one or two host
computers.

The first host/printer serial port (SES1-EIA) can communicate with your computer or
printer at a baud rate of 110 to 134,400 baud (bits per second). The second
host/printer serial port (SES2-AUX) can communicate at speeds from 110 baud to
38,400 baud. Either port can be used to connect to a host computer/modem or serial
printer.

You have the choice of using either the second serial port or the parallel printer port as
your printer interface. Refer to the following sections for further information on these
ports.

In single host mode, you have the choice to use the second serial port or to use the
parallel printer port, as your printer interface. In dual host mode, the natural choice is
to use the parallel port, although other options are available (See the Installation
chapter). Refer to the following sections for further information on these ports.

Receive Flow Control

Because devices can receive data faster than they can process it, data flow control
(selectable in the PORTS menu of Setup) should be used to prevent data loss. Software
flow control relies on the Xon and Xoff characters (“g” and “e” characters in Scan
Code key mode) to indicate when the terminal is able or unable to store further data.
The Xon signal transmits the DC1 character (11h) and the Xoff signal transmits DC3
(13h).

When “EIA (or Aux) Rcv” in the Setup menu for PORTS is “Xon-Xoff,” the
terminal issues an Xoff character, indicating to the host that it should stop transmitting
data. The terminal will then continue to process data until its receive buffer is empty.
It will then issue an Xon character to the host, indicating that it can resume sending
data to the terminal.

Communications 9

If the “EIA (or Aux) Rcv” is “No Protocol” in Setup, the terminal will continue to
accept characters into its receive buffer until it is full. Additional characters will be
lost. Xon-Xoff protocol must also be set on the host computer or printer for proper
handshaking.

In addition to software “receive” flow control (Xon-Xoff), the serial host/printer
ports support “receive” hardware flow control. The SES1-EIA port has an outgoing
DTR (Data Terminal Ready) signal. If “EIA Rec” is “DTR” in Setup, and the
terminal’s receive buffer fills to the level mentioned above, the terminal will set the
DTR signal low to inform the host (serial) device to stop sending data. On the SES2­AUX port, if “Aux Recv” is “DSR” in Setup, the outgoing DSR (Data Set Ready)
signal serves to signal the host (serial) device that the terminal is not ready to receive
more data.

Transmit Flow Control

Likewise, the terminal will understand the Xon and Xoff requests from the host when
it is transmitting data (provided the “EIA (or Aux) Xmt” is “Xon-Xoff” in Setup).
This is referred to as “transmit” flow control.

This terminal will stop transmitting data to the host or printer when it receives an Xoff
(DC3) code. If, however, the terminal needs to send a receive protocol character, it
will transmit that character even if it has received an Xoff code. When the terminal
stops transmitting, the data will be buffered in the transmit buffer. Once the buffer is
full, additional keyboard data will be lost. When an Xon (DC1) character is received,
the terminal can again send data to the attached serial device.

In addition to software “transmit” flow control (Xon-Xoff), the serial host/printer
ports support “transmit” hardware flow control. DSR on the SES1-EIA port and DTR
on the SES2-AUX port monitor serial devices to control the flow of data to them
(provided EIA and AUX Xmit are “DSR” and “DTR”, respectively, in Setup).

For parallel printers, this terminal monitors the BUSY and ERROR signals which are
sent by the printer to determine when data transmission should be stopped or
resumed.

Host/Printer Port 1

This port, labeled “SES1-EIA,” is designed for connection to the host (computer or
modem) or a serial printer via a 25-pin D-shell (DB25P) female connector. This port
uses an RS-232-C communication interface, is configured as a DTE (Data Terminal
Equipment) device, and can operate from 110 to 134,400 baud. The pins supported
are shown below:

Host/Printer Port 1 Pin Assignments

Host/Printer Port 2

This port, labeled “SES2-AUX,” is designed to connect to a second host connection
(computer or modem) or a serial printer, and can operate from 110 to 38,400 baud.
This port uses an RS-232-C interface via a DB25P female connector, and is configured
as a DCE (Data Communication Equipment) device. The pin assignments for this
port are shown below:

Host/Printer Port 2 Pin Assignments

Refer to the Installation chapter for details on the connection of all ports to serial
devices (hosts, modems, or printers).

Communications 11

Parallel Printer Port

This port, labeled “PAR,” is designed for connection to a parallel printer, which has a
Centronics interface with a 25-pin D-shell female connector. This port, unlike the
others, is a uni-directional device—it only serves to output data to the printer and
cannot receive data. The pins and signals supported are shown below:

Parallel Port Pin Assignments

* These signals are held high, in an inactive state.

If you have opted to use a parallel printer, but it is not connected, an error message
will appear on the status line when any PRINT operation is done. To clear the
message, press Ctrl-Shift-Tab.

The page length is comprised of a base page length multiplied by 1,2,4, or 8. For
instance, in certain modes, 24 (24x1), 48 (24x2), and 96 (24x4) are available, the
same way that 25(25x1), 50 (25x2), and 100 (25x4) are. The base page length and the
screen size determine whether a bottom status line or label line is displayed or not.

Bottom Status/Label Line Display

With a screen length of “26 lines,” the page lengths that are multiples of 24 allow the
bottom status/label line to be displayed, while those that are multiples of 25 do not.
The same idea applies with the 44 line screen size. A page length with 42 lines as a base
page size will display a label line, whil e the 43 line base page length will not. An
exception to this rule is if the screen length is significantly larger than the that page size,
then the label line is displayed, such as if the screen is 44 lines and the page length is 25
lines.

14 Introduction

The figure below represents the entire page memory of a 48 line page (24 base page
length times a multiplier of 2) and the portion of the page that is viewable on the
display screen, when “26 Lines” is selected. Notice that the label line is visible in this
mode.

Visual Effects of Screen and Page Lengths

The combination of page and screen lengths influence the number of displayable data
lines. For example, if the page length is “50” (25 x 2), and the screen length is 44
lines, the number of data lines that are visible at any one time is 43, with no label line
(the other line is used for the top status line). On a 52 line screen, 50 of the 52 data
lines are visible at one time in single session mode.

If the page length is shorter than the screen length, blank lines are present below the
data line or status/label line. If the page length is larger than the allowable number of
data lines, some of the rows are out of view. In order to bring them into view,
“scrolling” or “panning” is used as necessary.

Scrolling causes a new line to scroll into view when the cursor advances past the last or
first row on the page. If the cursor moves past the last row, the top row of text is lost;
if past the first row, the bottom row of text is lost (if Auto Scroll is “on” in Setup).
Note that text scrolled off the screen is not recoverable.

Screen Display and Pages 15

If the current page or portion of the page is longer than the screen display or window in
which it is displayed, local keystrokes can be used to “pan” the window up or down

(Ctrl-↑ and Ctrl-↓). As a window is panned up, the page appears to be moving down;
the opposite is true when panning the window down. Text that is panned off the
screen is out of view, but is not lost.

The figure below represents the display screen with a 48 line page length on a 44 line
screen, after panning the window down 2 lines.

Installation

This section provides a “walk-through” approach to the installation of your terminal.
This will enable you to physically connect the terminal to a printer and one or two host
computer(s)/modem(s), as well as to configure the Setup menu to suit your
requirements and preferences.

The terminal is designed to provide great flexibility in configuring the terminal. An
example of the flexibility is apparent in the fact that either the EIA or Aux ports can
be used to connect either to a host or a printer port. . In addition, a physical port can
be assigned as a host port in one session and as a printer port in the other session, if
desired. In another case, data can potentially be “printed” from one session to the
other.

The procedures described here are among the most common. Described here are
conventional single and dual host setups, with or without a printer. These steps may
need to be adjusted to meet your requirements.

STEP 1 – Know Your Devices

The first step in our installation process will be to determine what type of serial ports
you are connecting to the terminal. The Communications section in the Introduction
chapter describes the differences between a DTE and DCE serial device. Determine
what type of devices you are using (a DTE host, a DCE modem, a DTE printer, a
parallel printer, etc.).

17

18 Installation

STEP 2 – Physical Connections

Depending on the types of serial interfaces of your devices, you may need one or more
“null modem” adapters to communicate properly.

First, refer to the Common Setups diagrams later in this chapter. If one of these setups
matches your needs, make the connections as shown in the diagrams by referring to
the Host/Printer Connection. Each cable connection in the diagram (the lines with
arrows on each end) has a letter next to it.
The letters correspond to the letters in the Host/Printer Connection Guide. If these
setups don’t apply, choose the connections in the Host/Printer Connection Guide
that are appropriate.

Your physical connections are now complete.

STEP 3 – Number of Sessions Selection

This step requires setting a selection in the Setup menu to configure the terminal for
single or dual session mode.

If you’ve connected two host cables (A or C AND B or D), and you wish to run in
“dual session” mode, enter Setup (Ctrl-Scroll Lock on a PC keyboard or F3 on an
ANSI keyboard) and set “Sessions=Two” in the Quick (F1) menu. For single host
operation, this setting should already be set at “One” since this is in the default state.

STEP 4 – Linking Ports to Sessions

If you have selected “Sessions=One,” then you can skip to Step 5. If you have
selected “Sessions=Two,” there are four designations to make. This step will be used
later in Step 7.

First, you have to decide which serial port will be assigned to your first host in Session
1 (either EIA, Aux, or None). Now, decide which port will be used for your second
host in Session 2 (EIA, Aux, or None). The same port shouldn’t be used as the host port for

both sessions. Then, determine which port will be used as the printer port in Session 1

(EIA, Aux, Parallel, None). Do the same for the printer option in Session 2. It is not
general practice to assign the host port in one session as the printer port in another
session, but this can be done if desired.

STEP 5 – No Printer Option 19

STEP 5 – No Printer Option

If you did not opt to install a printer (did not complete E, F, G, or H), you must set
the Printer portion of the Host/Printer selection in the Quick (F1) Setup menu to
“None.” Choose the combination of Host/Printer that properly represents which
terminal port you are connecting the host to, and “None” as the printer. For example,
if the EIA port is connected to the host or modem, the setting would be “EIA/None.”

If you are running in dual session mode, press Ctrl-Enter (num). Now, set the Printer
portion of Host/Printer to “None” in Session 2, preserving the current Host setting.

STEP 6 – Know Your Serial Port(s) Protocol

Consult your system administrator to find out the communication settings on all the
serial devices you are connected to, including EIA (or Aux) baud, data bits, stop bits,
parity, parity checking on/off, and transmit and receive flow control protocol. This
could include one or two hosts/modems, or a serial printer. Record this information
in the User Settings Chart later in this chapter for reference in Step 7.

STEP 7 – Communications Setup Selections

To complete this step, you must recall the letters next to the connections that you
made in Step 2. Also, you must be aware of the port/session designations made in
Step 4 (see the Host/Printer Connection diagrams later in this chapter).

The procedures below correspond directly to the individual connections made.
Notice that only certain connection procedures are to be followed, not all of them.
For example, if you have made connections “C” and “F” to a modem and a serial
printer, then follow connection procedures “C” and “F” below.

Only follow those steps that apply to your connections (A-H).

To access the Setup menu, press Ctrl-Scroll Lock on a PC keyboard or F3 on an
ANSI keyboard.

20 Installation

Connection A: Host DCE

1. Enter the Setup menu. If the EIA port is to be assigned to Session 2, then switch

sessions (Ctrl-Enter (num)). Remain in session 1, if it is to be assigned to that
session.

2. In the Setup Quick (F1) menu, set the Host portion of the “Host/Printer”

selection to “EIA” without changing the current Printer option (“EIA/xxxx”).
The Printer will be set in another connection procedure if needed.

3. In the Ports (F6) menu, set the proper communications settings for the EIA

Baud, EIA Data Format, EIA Parity Check, EIA Recv, and EIA Xmt selections.
See the Setup chapter for more information on the individual settings.

Connection B: Host DTE

1. Enter the Setup menu. If the Aux port is to be assigned to Session 2, then switch

sessions (Ctrl-Enter (num)). Remain in session 1, if it is to be assigned to that
session.

2. In the Setup Quick (F1) menu, set the Host portion of the “Host/Printer”

selection to “Aux” without changing the current Printer option (“Aux/xxxx”).
The Printer will be set in another connection procedure if needed.

3. In the Ports (F6) menu, set the proper communications settings for the Aux

Baud, Aux Data Format, Aux Parity Check, Aux Recv, and Aux Xmt. See the
Setup chapter for more information on the individual settings.

Connection C: RS-232 with Modem

1. Follow all procedures of Connection A, steps 1 through 3.

2. If you are connecting to a modem, set the “EIA Modem Control” parameter to

“On” in the Ports (F6) menu.

Connection D: RS-232-C with Modem

1. Follow all procedures of Connection B, steps 1 through 3.

2. If you are connecting to a modem, set the “Aux Modem Control” parameter to

“On” in the Ports (F6) menu.

STEP 8 – Emulation Setup Selection 21

Connection E: Printer

1. In the Setup Quick (F1) menu, set the Printer portion of the “Host/Printer”

selection to “EIA” without changing the current Host option (“xxxx/EIA”).
The Host will be set in another connection procedure if needed.

2. Follow procedure of Connection A, step 3.

Connection F: RS-232-C Printer

1. In the Setup Quick (F1) menu, set the Printer portion of the “Host/Printer”

selection to “Aux” without changing the current Host option (“xxxx/Aux”).
The Host will be set in another connection procedure if needed.

2. Follow procedure of Connection B, step 3.

Connections G and H: Parallel Printer

1. Enter the Setup menu. If the parallel port is to be assigned to Session 2, then

switch sessions (Ctrl-Enter (num)). Remain in session 1, if it is to be assigned to
that session.

2. In the Setup Quick (F1) menu, set the Printer portion of the “Host/Printer”

selection to “Para” without changing the current Host option (“xxxx/ Para”).

3. Repeat this procedure if the parallel port is going to be used to print from both

sessions.

Only one session can access the parallel printer at one time.
If a print mode (Aux on, etc.) is on in both sessions, an error message will appear.
To disable a print mode in a session, press Shift-Scroll Lock on a PC keyboard or
Shift-F3 on an ANSI keyboard.

STEP 8 – Emulation Setup Selection

This step requires setting a selection in the Setup menu to configure the “Emulation”
for one or two sessions of the terminal. Determine which emulations your
applications run with.

Enter the Setup menu and set the “Emulation” parameter, in the Quick (F1) menu, to
match your requirements. If you are running in dual session mode, press Ctrl-Enter
(num). Now, set the “Emulation” parameter in Session 2.

22 Installation

STEP 9 – Additional Setup Options

At this point, you should proceed to the Setup chapter and continue to set up your
own selections for any other parameters such as those for the display, keyboard,
function/edit keys, and tabs.

Remember to repeat this procedure for Session 2 if you are running in dual session
mode. Use Ctrl-Enter (num) to access this set of parameters.

STEP 10 – Save Parameters

Finally, remember to save your Setup parameters in permanent memory, so that they
can be recovered if the terminal is powered down. When you exit the Setup menu,
the prompt “Save all? (Y/N)” flashes. To save parameters, press “Y”. Another way to
save parameters is to perform a “Save Terminal” operation, while in the Exec
(F13/Prnt Scrn) menu of Setup. Both methods will save the parameters in both
sessions, as well as those that are common to both.

Remember to save your Setup settings after the entire installation process.

STEP 11 – Establish Communications

Your installation is now complete. By pressing the Return or Enter key, you should be
able to communicate with the host computer(s). The printer should respond to the

local print command, Shift-Ctrl-. (period on numeric keypad).
If for some reason, your installation was not successful, make sure your physical

connections are secure, that the communications protocol settings match your
devices, and that the Setup selections are chosen to provide a proper interface between
the terminal and your devices.

If you continue to have problems installing the terminal, call your local dealer for
technical support.

Setup

The Setup menu is your control panel for this terminal. It permits you to configure
the terminal to communicate with the host computer as well as to suit your personal
preferences.

Overview

The Setup menus have been designed to allow maximum flexibility with a minimum
investment of time. Thirteen menus provide you with the flexibility and the features
below contribute to ease of use:

§ The Quick menu is the first screen upon entry. It contains the parameters critical

to the operation of the terminal with the host.

§ Function keys permit easy access to any menu. The function keys are labeled at

the top of every menu.

§ Setup is “smart.” That is, it provides only the options that are valid for the

hardware and current emulation.

§ Keystrokes and Help Messages are at the bottom of every menu.

§ Valid choices for the selected parameter are displayed at the bottom of the menu.

27

28 Setup

Entry and Exit

EPC Keyboard: Press Ctrl-Scroll Lock to both enter and exit setup. Also, press

F14 or Pause to exit.

ANSI Keyboard: entry is dependent upon the Setup selections:

þ When “F1 to F5 keys” = Local, press F1 to enter.
þ When “F1 to F5 keys” = FKey, press Ctrl-F3 to enter.
þ When “Key Mode” = Scan Code, press Ctrl-Select to enter.

Saving Parameters

Upon exiting setup mode, the prompt “Save All (Y/N)” blinks. Press Y or y to exit
setup and save settings in permanent (nonvolatile) RAM. Press C or c to cancel the exit
request. Press

N or n to exit Setup. The changes will take effect, but will be lost if the terminal is reset

or powered off.

An exception to this is function/edit key and answerback message programming.
Once edited in Setup, the changes are saved regardless of the way in which you exit
Setup.

Movement Inside Menus

F1 through F12: Select the menu that corresponds to the function key. Depending on

your keyboard, there will be another key, either F13 or the Print Screen key (on the
EPC keyboard) available to access the “EXEC” menu. These keys are always active
within Setup and are labeled at the top of each menu.

Cursor Control Keys ( ↑↑ ←← ↓↓ →→): These keys control movement to parameters

within the menu and is indicated by a highlighted selection bar. This selection bar will
wrap to the other side of the menu at the top, bottom and side boundaries. For each
parameter there are at least two choices. As the parameter is highlighted, the available
choices appear in the area above the help bar.

Some parameters are action fields and have no choices. See the Action Fields
section later in this chapter.

Overview 29

Enter and Shift-Enter: Cycle “up” or “down” through the choices for a given

parameter.

The following keystrokes are also available but are not documented in the Setup
help bar.

Tab and Shift-Tab: Move from menu to menu forward or backward without using

function keys.

Space and Shift-Space: Cycle through the list of choices. Same as Enter and

Shift-Enter.
Parameters that are changed are executed as soon as that field is exited. Page resets

may occur when certain choices are made in Setup.

Action Fields

Certain parameters are not selections but action fields. When the action field is
highlighted and then selected, the action is taken. A “WAIT” message may appear at
the top right portion of the screen, and when the action is completed, a “DONE”
message will appear. These messages are cleared when the selection bar is placed on
another parameter.

Dual Session Mode

There are two “sets” of “session” setup parameters, if you are using the terminal in
dual session mode. To toggle between sessions while in or out of setup mode, press

Ctrl-Enter (num). For a complete explanation of session dependent and terminal

dependent parameters, see the Glossary of Terms section at the end of this chapter.

34 Setup

Host/Printer: [EIA/Aux, EIA/Para, EIA/None, Aux/EIA, Aux/Para, Aux/None,
None/EIA, None/Aux, None/Para, None/None]

The first part of the selection indicates the host (either the EIA port or the AUX port)
and the second part of the selection indicates the printer port (if a serial printer is used,
either the EIA or Aux port can be used to connect to the printer, but if a parallel
printer is being used, the PAR port should be used). The active session “drives” the
printer. EIA/Para is the default for session 1, and Aux/None is the default for session

2.

GENERAL: F2

This chapter lists all possible parameters for each menu, and all possible choices for
each parameter. Depending on the emulation selected, and the key mode (ASCII or
ScanCode), Setup will only present the valid set of parameters and choices in each
menu.

Emulation: Select the “personality” of the terminal. See the Quick menu earlier in

this chapter.

Enhanced: Choose whether the terminal can respond to commands beyond the

limitations of the current emulation. See the Quick menu earlier in this chapter.

Auto Wrap: [On, Off]

Select whether the cursor drops to the next line when it reaches the right margin or
continues to display characters at the right margin. In ANSI emulations, the default is

off.

Auto Font Load: [On, Off]

Select whether the four font banks (0-3) should automatically be loaded when screen
size or the emulation is changed.

Auto Page: [On, Off]

When the cursor is moved off the page using a command that includes scroll and Auto
Page mode is on, the screen displays the new page. These pages are numbered from 0 to
a maximum of 9. When on, Auto Page will track the page even if Auto Scroll is off.
The up-arrow key does not have a scroll command embedded, so it cannot be used to
view the previous page even when Auto Page is on.

GENERAL: F2 35

Auto Scroll: [On, Off]

Choose whether the terminal updates the display when the cursor is moved beyond the
boundaries of the currently viewed screen.

Monitor Mode: [On, Off]

Choose whether control codes will be displayed as their graphic representations or be
acted upon as terminal/cursor commands.

Screen Saver: [Off, 2 min, 5 min, 15 min, 30 min]

Select whether the screen will go blank after lack of activity from the keyboard or the
host of the selected period of time. The first key typed at the keyboard when the
screen is blank will reactivate the display. The keycode will not be transmitted to the
host. The Caps Lock LED (or Lock on the ANSI keyboard) will flash while Screen
Saver is active.

Use screen saver to prevent “phosphor burn” on the screen when the display on the
terminal is left unchanged for an extended time period.

20 minutes after the screen saver is activated, Energy Star, a power saving feature, is
activated. The first key typed at the keyboard brings the energy level back up.

Bell Volume: [0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]

Select the bell volume from off [0] to high [9]. This will be the volume for alarm
tones, warning bells, and keyclicks.

Warning Bell: [On, Off]

Select whether a warning bell is sounded when errors (such as an invalid compose
sequence) are encountered.

Host/Printer: Designates physical ports to the host and printer for the selected

session. See the Quick menu earlier in this chapter.

Sessions: [One, Two]

Select the number of sessions (hosts) that the terminal will run. See the Quick menu
earlier in this chapter.

36 Setup

Session Display: [Full, Split]

When two sessions are used, select whether each host’s data displays on a full screen or
if both hosts share a split screen. In either case, the way to toggle between the hosts is
by using Ctrl-Enter (num). Both hosts can receive and update data simultaneously.
The purpose of toggling is so that keyboard entry can be directed to the selected host.
In the case of a full display, toggling also brings the entire display of the selected host

This feature affects the direction in which the text is entered (defaults to right to left
when Hebrew language is chosen).

DISPLAY: F3

Page Length: [24, 25, 42, 43, 48, 50, 84, 86, 96, 100, (168), (172), (192),
(200), *24, *25, *42, *43]

Select the number of lines per page. As many as ten pages (0-9) may be available, but
the number of pages in memory depends on the number of lines per page, the type of
emulation, and whether 80-Only is selected for columns. The total lines used
(Lines/Page x # of Pages) will not exceed 240. See the Page Configurations in
Appendix A.

Page lengths which are multiples of 24 or 25 and those that are multiples of 42 or 43
are displayed by default on a 26-line or 44-line screen, respectively. The extra one or
two lines on the screen can be used as status lines.

The selections shown in ( ) are not available in dual session mode. If a page length
which is preceded by an asterisk (*24, *25, *42, or *43) is selected, the total number of
pages will be two, where the first page contains the number of lines in the selection
(24,25,42, or 43) and the second page contains the remaining allowable lines. (See the
Appendix.)

Screen Length: [26 Lines, 30 Lines, 44 Lines, 52 Lines]

Select the number of lines that can be displayed on the screen at one time . The page
length affects the default screen length.

Screen Video: [Normal, Reverse]

Choose between bright characters on a dark background (normal) and dark characters
on a bright background (reverse). In reverse video mode only, the “Enhanced
Attributes” parameter is available (see page 3-8).

Display Cursor: [On, Off]

Choose whether the cursor will be displayed.

Cursor: [Blink Block , Steady Block, Blink Line, Steady Line]

Choose the appearance of the cursor.

Select whether the screen attempts to follow the cursor down the page by scrolling just
enough to keep the cursor in view.

DISPLAY: F3 37

Columns: [80, 132, 80-Only]

Choose the number of columns that the screen can display. 80-Only provides more
pages in memory for a given page length by disallowing changes to 132-column
display.

Width Change Clear: [On, Off]

Select whether the screen is to be cleared when the number of columns on the screen is
changed from 80 to 132 or vice versa.

Changing columns from/to 80-only forces the screen to clear independent of Width
Change Clear.

Speed: [Fast, Normal]

Selecting “fast” improves the speed at which screen display occurs at the expense of
minor, temporary distortion of text called “tearing.”

Scroll: [Jump, Smooth]

Choose whether the data on the screen scrolls smoothly or “jumps” to accommodate
data at the rate it is received.

Scroll Speed: [Smooth 1, Smooth 2, Smooth 4, Smooth 8]

Select the number of scan lines per second the page scrolls up when smooth scroll is
selected. Smooth 1 is the slowest rate and Smooth 8 is the fastest.

foreign languages. In VT emulations, the default is ANSI. To determine which sets are
loaded for each mode, refer to the 260xx Programmer’s Reference Guide.

Key Mode: [ASCII, ScanCode]

Select whether keys transmit ASCII codes or the ScanCode. The ScanCode transmits a
“make code” when a key is pressed and a “break code” upon its release. When
ScanCode is selected, “Comm Mode” is forced to Full Duplex and “Character Set” is
forced to Multinational (8-bit).

Keyclick: [On, Off]

Choose whether pressing a key results in a clicking sound. The default is off in SCO
Console emulation.

Key Repeat: [On, Off]

Choose whether keys, including function keys, wil l repeat when pressed for more than
half a second. This setting does not affect the following keys on the EPC keyboard:
Caps Lock, Scroll Lock, Num Lock, Shift keys, Ctrl keys, Alt keys, Return, Print

F5, Shift keys, Control, Compose, and Return.

KEYBOARD: F4 39

Key Rate: [15 cps, 20 cps, 30 cps]

When “Key Repeat” is on, a key that is pressed for more than half a second will
automatically repeat. This selection allows you to choose the number of characters
that are generated per second when a key is auto repeating.

Keyboard Layout: [Q, F]

This selection is only available when Turkish keyboard is selected. Q and F refer to the
two Turkish keyboard layouts available. Q and F correspond to the top left key on the
alphanumeric keypad.

Margin Bell: [On, Off]

Choose whether a bell tone sounds when the cursor is nine positions away from the
right margin.

Key Lock: [Caps, Reverse, Shift]

Affects the state of alphanumeric keys when Caps-Lock is engaged.

þ Caps causes alphabetic keys to be uppercase regardless of the Shift key.
þ Reverse causes the Shift key to generate lowercase alphabetic keys.
þ Shift causes all alphanumeric keys to be generated as uppercase (or shifted, in the

case of numbers). If the Shift key is hit, while Shift is selected, Caps -Lock will be
disengaged.

Caps Lock: [Toggle, Always On, Always Off]

This setting effects the state of the Caps Lock key. When set to always on or always off
the key has no effect. When set to toggle, the terminal will power on in the off mode
and pressing the key will alternate between the off mode and the on mode.

Num Lock: [Toggle, Always On, Always Off]

This setting effects the state of the Num Lock key. When set to always on or always
off the key has no effect. When set to toggle, the terminal will power on in the off
mode and pressing the key will alternate between the off mode and the on mode.

Code Page: [CP 437, CP 850, CP 852, CP 857, CP 860, CP 861, CP 862,

40 Setup

KEYS: F5

Enter Key: [CR, CR-LF, TAB]

Select the code the enter key in the numeric keypad transmits.

Return Key: [CR, CR-LF, TAB]

Select the code the return key on the main alphanumeric keypad transmits.

Alt Key (left): [Meta, Compose, Funct, Scroll-Lock, Alt Key]

Select the way in which the left ALT key (or the Compose key on the ANSI keyboard)
behaves.

§ Meta sets the most significant bit for the next character and allows 8-bit data to be

generated from the keyboard.

§ Compose precedes sequences of keys to create a character that is not on the

keyboard but is available in the active character set.

§ Scroll Lock causes the Alt key to function as the Scroll Lock key, and is a toggle to

hold/free data on the screen. It requires the use of flow control for the host port

Rcv Prtcl.

§ Funct causes the Alt key to function as the Funct key on an ASCII keyboard.

§ Alt Key causes the left Alt key to behave identically to the right Alt key.

Pound Key: [U.S., British]

Choose the character transmitted for 23h—the US pound (#) or the British pound (£).

Return Key Repeat: [On, Off]

Select whether the Return key located on the alphanumeric keypad will repeat when
held down for more than half a second (only selectable when “Key Repeat” = On).

Local Leadin: [On, Off]

This parameter is only available when Key Mode (in the Kybd menu) is ScanCode. If
Local Leadin is off, the only local function, shown in Appendix A, is Ctrl-Scroll Lock
(Ctrl-Select on the ANSI keyboard) to enter Setup. If Local Leadin is on, the Setup
keystroke “introduces” the keystroke as local and then local functions can be generated
using the keystrokes listed in the Appendix.

KEYS: F5 41

For example, to enter Setup when ScanCode and Local Leadin are on, press Ctrl-Scroll
Lock (Ctrl-Select on the ANSI keyboard) to introduce this as a local function
(“LEAD” will appear in the status line), and then Ctrl-Scroll Lock (Ctrl-Select on the
ANSI keyboard) to enter Setup.

Local Leadin will not work if Comm Mode is set to Half Block or Full Block.

UDKs: [Emul Dependent, User Dependent]

Choose whether the UDKs should get defaulted when the host changes the emulation.

The following selections apply to the PC keyboards:

Disconnect: [Disabled, Pause, Alt-Pause]

Select the keystroke that will generate a modem disconnect.

Backspace: [BS/DEL, DEL/BS, DEL/CAN, BS/BS]

Choose the codes sent by the backspace key in the normal/shifted positions.

Desk Acc: [Sh-Ctrl-Fkeys, Ctrl ←←, Disabled]

Select how the Desk Accessories can be accessed. This selection does not appear when
SCO Console emulation is selected. In SCO Console emulation, Ctrl ← is the only

access method.
The default allows the desk accessories to be accessed through a menu which appears

when Ctrl and the left arrow key are pressed simultaneously. This brings up a pop-up
window; selections for the specific accessory can be made from that menu by pressing
F1-F5. The Sh-Ctrl-Fkeys option, when selected, allows dir ect access to desk accessories
(bypassing the menu) by pressing Sh-Ctrl-F1 through Sh-Ctrl-F5. Selecting Disabled will
inhibit entry to desk accessories. Once a desk accessory is displayed, any other desk
accessory can be accessed by pressing only the function key associated with it (without
pressing Sh-Ctrl).

42 Setup

The following selections apply only to the ANSI keyboard:

Disconnect: [Disabled, Shift-F5]

Choose to allow the keystroke that will generate a modem disconnect on the ANSI
keyboard or to disable the Disconnect function. Note that if “F1 to F5 keys” is Fkey
in Setup, the Disconnect function will be remapped to Ctrl-Shift-F5.

F1 to F5 keys: [Local, Fkey]

This selection determines whether the first five keys, labeled F1–F5, serve as local
keystrokes (for example, F3 allows access to Setup) or will serve as function keys which
are loaded with the default strings. (Only reprogrammed strings are visible in the text
area for a given function or edit key; the default strings are not visible in Setup.)

If Fkey is selected, then the keystroke to enter Setup becomes Ctrl-F3 on the ANSI
keyboard.

With the three remapping selections, keys which are available on a PC keyboard are
now available on a PC keyboard are now available on the ANSI style keyboard: [ESC]
[`~] [, and .].

The three selections should either be kept in their defaults (as they appear on the keyboard), or
all three should be changed to follow the mapping scheme described here.

`~ Key: [` and ~ or ESC]

Select the characters sent by the tic/tilde key.

<> Key: [< and > or ` and ~]

Select the characters sent by the triangle bracket key in the normal and shifted
positions.

,, and .. Keys: [,, and .. or ,< and .>]

Select the character sent by the comma and period keys in the normal and shifted
mode.

Backspace: [BS/DEL, DEL/BS, DEL/CAN]

Choose the codes sent by the key in the normal/shifted positions.

Compose Key: [Meta, Compose, Funct, Scroll-Lock, Alt Key]

This selection indicates the role that the Compose key will play. The explanation of
choices is the same as for the Alt Key (left) selection, which is discussed earlier in this
section.

8/2/E, 8/2/S]

See the Quick menu earlier in this chapter.

EIA (Aux) Parity Check: [On, Off]

Choose whether the parity bit will be checked. When parity check is on and the parity
bit received is inconsistent with the data received, indicating an error in
communications, an asterisk (*) 2Ah is displayed instead of the character.

Aux Baud Rate: [38400, 19200, 9600, 4800, 2400, 2000, 1800, 1200, 600,

See the Quick menu earlier in this chapter.

EIA (Aux) Recv: [No Protocol Xon-Xoff (XPC), Xany-Xoff (XPC), DTR (DSR),
Xany-Xoff/DTR (DSR)]

Choose the form of flow control for data received from the primary or secondary host.
Software flow control uses Xon-Xoff DC1 (11h) and DC3 (13h). XPC is used by “Scan
Code” mode because it uses DC1 and DC3 as data. Xany-Xoff (XPC) is similar to
Xon-Xoff, except that any character transmitted to the host is treated as an Xon, so
data from the terminal is buffered, rather than being sent to the host. DTR (DSR for
Aux) relies on the hardware signal DTR or DSR (pin 20 or pin 6) from the device.

Xany-Xoff/DTR (DSR) uses software and hardware flow control .

Flow control is recommended to protect against data loss.

PORTS: F6 43

44 Setup

EIA (Aux) Xmit: [No Protocol, Xon-Xoff, DSR (DTR), Both]

This is similar to “EIA (Aux) Recv,” except that it applies to the data transmitted
from the terminal to the primary or secondary host or printer. DSR is the hardware
signal for Data Set Ready (pin 6).

In ADDS VP emulation and WP-Graphics mode, DC1 and DC3 can be
interpreted as data and should not be selected as a form of protocol.

EIA (Aux) Break: [250 ms, 170 ms, 500 ms, Off]

Choose the duration of the break signal in milliseconds. This is an interruption in data
flow, and can be disabled.

EIA (Aux) Modem Control: [On, Off]

If a modem is being used to communicate with the primary or secondary host,
modem control should be on. To perform a disconnect, the terminal drops the DTR
signal. In full dupl ex, the terminal keeps RTS high and checks for a CD signal before
sending data to the modem. In half duplex, it raises RTS and awaits a clear-to-send
(CTS) signal from the modem before sending data.

EIA (Aux) Xmt Pace: [Baud, 35 cps, 60 cps, 150 cps]

Define the maximum number of characters per second that the terminal can transmit.
When a characters limit (35 cps, 60 cps, or 135 cps) is set, the delays are averaged
between characters for the selected baud rate. This is also known as “pacing.” The

Baud option provides no pacing, allowing data to be transmitted at the specified baud

rate.

EIA (Aux) Disconnect: [2sec, 60ms]

Select the maximum time period that the modem can be disconnected (or the modem
line be down) before the terminal performs a Modem Disconnect. This occurs if “EIA
(Aux) Modem Control” is on.

HOST: F7

Comm Mode: [Full Duplex, Half Duplex, Full Block, Half Block]

Select the communications mode.

Half-duplex is not available when KeyMode is ScanCode.

Receive <CR>: [<CR>, <CR><LF>]

Select the way in which carriage returns received will be interpreted.

Receive <DEL>: [Ignore, Destruct <BS>]

Choose to ignore the DEL control code (7Fh) when received or to treat it as a
Destructive Backspace code.

Send ACK: [Off, On ]

Decide whether the terminal should respond to inquiry (05h) or when certain terminal
functions are performed (configuring the EIA (Aux) ports, splitting screen, etc.) with
the ACK (06h) character.

Null Suppress: [On, Off]

In the default mode, the host ignores all received nulls (00 hex). When off is selected,
the terminal will accept all received nulls, and act upon them according to the selected
emulation.

Send Line Term: [<US>, <CR><LF>]

Select which line terminator is sent. <US> is 1Fh and <CR><LF> is 0Dh 0Ah.

Local: [Off, On]

Select whether keyed data is interpreted locally by the terminal and not sent to the
host. Data sent by the host is lost, if Local is on. The ability to print data is not
affected by this mode.

Send Block Term: [<ETX>, <CR>]

Select which character will indicate the end of a block. The choices above are for
ASCII emulations. ANSI emulations have the following choices: [None, FF].

HOST: F7 45

Send End: [Cursor, Region]

Select whether the end is indicated by the scroll region or by the cursor location.

Send Region: [Screen, Scroll]

Choose whether the terminal sends data from the entire screen or from the scrolling
region.

Alt Input Data: [On, Off]

Select whether data from second serial port is set to the host. This selection is only
available when Sessions=One.

PRINT: F8

Print Mode: [Normal, Auto, Controller]

46 Setup

Select the way in which printing is controlled.

§ Normal indicates that printing is to occur when a print request (such as print

screen) is received.

§ Auto prints a line when the terminal receives a LF, a FF, or a VT code, or when

autowrap occurs.

§ Controller indicates that host data is sent to the printer (pass through mode).

Printing is controlled by the host computer.

Print Block Term: [<ETX>, <CR>]

Select the character which indicates to the printer that the block of data to be printed
has ended. The options above are for ASCII emulations. In ANSI emulations, the
choices are [None, <FF>].

Print Region: [Screen, Scroll]

Indicate the region of the screen that is to be printed: the entire screen or a certain
section of it called the scrolling region. A scrolling region is a limited portion of the
screen which applications (such as word processors) may designate to be the user’s.

Print Line Term: [<US>, <CR><LF>]

Indicate the character that <R>is to terminate a line of print.

Secondary Recv: [Off, On]

When “on,” data received from the serial printer is routed to the port assigned for the
host. This data is not displayed on the screen, and is transparent to the user. When
“off,” data received from the printer port is ignored.

EMULATION: F9 47

EMULATION: F9

The parameters displayed in this menu depend upon the current emulation. This
section is divided between parameters for ASCII and ANSI emulations.

ASCII E mulations

Page Edit: [Off, On]

When page edit is on, edit features such as insert act upon text to the end of the current
page.

WPRT Intensity: [Dim, Normal, Suppress]

Choose the intensity of write protected characters . Suppress indicates that the
character’s foreground is the same as its background with the effect of “suppressing”
output.

WPRT Underline: [Off, On]

Choose whether write-protected characters are underlined.

WPRT Blink: [Off, On]

Choose whether write-protected characters blink.

WPRT Reverse: [Off, On]

Choose whether write-protected characters display in reverse video.

Fkey Speed: [Fast, Normal]

Selects the speed at which function keys and labels are programmed by the host. Fast
mode will increase the speed for Wyse 50 compa tibility, but will limit the amount of
space in each function key and answerback message to 8 bytes. Edit keys are not
available for programming in fast mode. Changing this selection will default all
function keys, edit keys, and function keys labels.

Save Labels: [Off, On]

When on, labels that are downloaded by the host will be saved in non-volatile memory.
If this selection and Display NV Labels are off, labels written by the host would be lost
upon entry and exit to Setup.

Attribute: [Char, Line, Page]

Choose the extent to which attributes are propagated. (The only parallel ASCII
emulations are PC Term and Wyse 60.)

48 Setup

Display NV Labels: [On, Off]

Select whether the labels in non-volatile memory are displayed on the lowest line.
When off is selected, any existing labels will remain on the screen, until on is selected,
and they are re-displayed. On a 26-line screen, they are displayed below line 24. On a
44-line screen, labels are displayed below line 42, and on a 52-line screen, they are
displayed below line 50. (The top line is the top status line and cannot be used for
data.) If the page length used is a multiple of 25 (instead of 24) and the screen length is
26 lines , then the last data line is used for data and labels will not be displayed
regardless of this setting. The same is true for a page length that is a multiple of 43
(instead of 42) with a screen length of 44 lines.

Status Line: [Standard, Extended, Off]

Select the type of the status line. In standard, cursor row and column, emulation
indicator, print indicator, Caps Lock, and communications mode are displayed. In

extended, only emulation indicator, Caps Lock, communications mode, protect and

write protect are displayed.

Char Set: [National, Multinational]

Select whether the character set used is the 7-bit national chart or the 8-bit
multinational chart when Language is not U.S. If U.S. is chosen, the character set is

multinational.

Enhanced Attributes: [Off, On]

When set to on, gives a better display presentation in overscan and reverse video
modes. The blink and dim video attributes will affect the foreground text instead of
the background. This selection is only available in reverse video mode, on a per­session basis, and is disabled in a “split” display screen.

Bright Video: [Off, On]

Provides a brighter display when set to on. Both normal and dim text is brighter than
in the standard mode. This parameter setting affects both sessions, but will not affect
an ANSI emulation in the inactive session.

WP-Graphics: [Off, On]

Selects whether Word Perfect Graphics commands are processed or ignored.

EMULATION: F9 49

ANSWERBACK: F11 51

ANSWERBACK: F11

Answerback Mode: [On, Off]

Choose whether the answerback message (which is sent to the host at terminal reset or
power up) mode is on. This can be used to log -in to the system.

Answerback Conceal: This is an action parameter which displays “Concealed” at the

answerback edit field. Once it is concealed, the message cannot be redisplayed. This is
a security measure for those who use answerback to send their login names and
passwords to the host.

Answerback Message: This is a 30-character field which can be edited. (See the Edit

Fields section later in this chapter.)

When “Fkey Speed” is Fast in the Emul (F9) menu, the answerback edit field

is limited to 8 bytes.

52 Setup

PROGRAM: F12

Program: [F/Key, Sh-F/Key, Edit Key, Sh-Edit Key]

Specify the type of key to be programmed—function or edit key in its normal or
shifted state.

When Fkey Speed is Fast in the EMUL (F9) menu, the Program options are

F/Key and Sh-F/Key.

When SCO Console emulation is selected, the Program options are F/Key,

Sh-F/Key, Ctl-F/Key, Ctl-Sh-F/Key, and Edit Key.
Key Dir: [Comm Depend, Host, Printer, Printer & Host, Screen, Host & Screen,

Printer & Screen, All]

Select the destination of the contents of the function or edit key. Comm Dependent will
cause the direction of the key data to correspond to the “Comm Mode” of the current
emulation. For example, if the “Comm Mode” is Full Block, the contents of the key
will be channeled to the screen only. If it were Full Duplex, then the contents would be
sent to the hos t only.

Text: An edit field which permits up to 255 characters. Once the overall text limit

(up to 542 characters) is reached, the terminal will beep and accept no more text. If
the text is deleted with the backspace key, the default code is no longer programmed.
Shift-Backspace will restore the default. See the Edit Fields section or “Fkey Speed”
in the Emulation section.

Label: A label of up to 7 characters can be entered for function keys in ASCII

emulations only. See “Display NV Labels” in the Emulation section.

þ <Backspace> – delete
þ <Shift> <Back> – default field

54 Setup

EXECUTE: Prnt Scrn

All of the parameters in this menu are action parameters. Terminal parameters affect all
settings, including the emulation. Session choices affect only settings that relate to the
chosen emulation. In dual session (host) mode, there are two independent sets of
session parameters (Session 1 and Session 2). To toggle between sessions, use the
Ctrl-Enter (Num) keys troke.

Save Terminal: Save all settings in non-volatile (permanent) memory, including

those associated with the session selected.

Reset Terminal: All terminal parameters are initialized. It also performs reset pages

and default modes.

Recall Terminal: Revert to all terminal and session settings that were saved in

nonvolatile memory. A “Reset Terminal” is also performed. This is referred to as a
hard reset and is equivalent to turning the terminal off and back on.

Default Terminal: Load all defaults for the terminal and session, including the

emulation. A “Reset Terminal” is also performed.

Save Session: Save all the settings associated with the chosen session.
Reset Session: Initialize all session settings. This is also referred to as a “Soft-Reset.”

Perform page-resets and default modes. “Mode” specifies the parameters used by a
session which are not selectable through Setup such as Insert-Mode, Split-Screen, and
Graphics-Mode.

Recall Session: Load the previously saved settings associated with the chosen

emulation. A “Reset Session” is also performed.

Default Session: Load all defaults associated with the session selected.
Reset Ports: Clear the transmit buffers for the host and printer port, and receive

buffer for the host port. Unlocks the keyboard and clears its buffer data.

Clear Screen: Clear the screen and the entire page.
Default Session UDKs: Set the contents of all the function and edit keys associated

with the chosen session to their factory default states.

Edit Fields

Setup uses overwrite mode in text editing fields. That is, the cursor keys cannot be
used to move to a location in the text to insert characters. Upon entry to a text field,
the cursor is placed at the last text location. Use the following keystrokes:

§ Backspace – move cursor left by deleting that character.

§ Shift-Backspace – reset the field to its default value.

§ Alphanumeric keys – enter text in the normal, shifted, or control state. To generate

a control character (00h-1Fh) add 40h and use Ctrl with the character in the new
position (40h-5Fh). For example, to insert CR-LF (0Dh, 0Ah) codes, press
Ctrl-M, Ctrl-J (4Dh, 4Ah). The compose and meta functions can also be used to
generate 8-bit characters.

Glossary of Terms

Some of the terms that are used in the Exec (PrtSc) menu are defined below.

Page Reset

Page resets are executed when the session or terminal is reset or defaulted. When a page
reset is performed, it affects all pages, and the following events occur: the page is
erased, the cursor is homed, and scrol ling regions are defaulted. All line attributes (such
as double-high/wide, locked lines) are reset to normal. Split screens are cleared to a
normal, single screen and protect mode is turned off.

NOTE TO INSTALLER

This equipment complies with the FCC Regulation for Class A devices, Subpart J of Part 15.
Shielded, grounded interface cables were used on all ports for FCC radiated emission testing.

The manufacturer is not responsible for any violation of the FCC Regulation for Class A devices
that is caused by unauthorized modification of the equipment, or caused by equipment
installation not in accordance with the instructions in this manual.

This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and may cause radio or
television interference. All user equipment that interfaces with other products should be
connected with shielded cables. (Contact a local dealer for more information on shielded cable
assemblies and their availability.)

There is no guarantee that interference will not occur. If radio or television interference occurs
(this can be determined by turning the equipment off and on while the radio or television is on),
the user is solely responsible for correcting the interference and is encouraged to take one or more
of these measures:

1. Reorient the receiving antenna.

2. Relocate the equipment, or move the equipment away from the receiver.

3. Plug the equipment into a different outlet so the unit and receiver are on different
branch circuits.

4. Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/television technician.

It is also suggested that the user read the FCC booklet entitled How to Identify and Resolve
Radio-TV Interference Problems. The booklet is available from the US Government Printing
Office, Washington, DC 20402. (When ordering the booklet, specify stock number 04-000­00345-4.)

Site Preparation
The screen display geometry on terminal products is aligned using magnetic devices. External

magnetic fields created by other types of electronic equipment, such as printers, in very close
proximity to the terminal, may cause minor display distortion.

Examples of display distortion include:

§ Shaky video

§ Wavy lines

§ Tilted display

This magnetic field interaction only occurs over a very short distance, normally less than
twelve inches, and can be corrected by separating the equipment and/or slightly reorienting
the display.
