CHAPTER 3 Host Connection

This chapter describes how to configure TeemTalk to communicate
with the host.

Introduction

Host connection settings are specified using the Transport and

Connection options which can be found in three locations:

• TeemTalk Session Wizard:

• TeemTalk configuration bar:

Host Connection

18 Introduction

• TeemTalk Session menu:

The

Transport setting specifies the physical method by which the

host connection is made. TeemTalk supports three transport proto­cols for communication with the host:

TCP/IP For host communication using the internet protocol

suite TCP (Transport Control Protocol) and IP (Internet
Protocol). See “TCP/IP Transport” on page 21.

SSH2 A secure shell client/server protocol used to encrypt and

transmit data securely over a network, with authentica­tion provided by a password and/or key. See “SSH2
Transport” on page 22.

Serial For host communication requiring data to be sent

sequentially, one bit at a time. See “Serial Transport” on
page 31.

The

Connection setting specifies the host connection protocol.

Currently only

Telnet is supported.

TeemTalk also provides an Auto Logon feature which enables you
to automate all or part of the host logon procedure by specifying
what is sent to the host in response to prompts displayed on the
screen. See “Auto Logon” on page 34.

CHAPTER 4 Keyboard

Configuration

This chapter describes how to configure the keyboard, define key
functions and compose special characters.

Keyboard Mapping

The keyboard is mapped as close as possible to the terminal being
emulated. The mapping of key functions in each terminal emula­tion can be determined by referring to the

Emulation Keys list box

in the

Key Macro Settings dialog.

The information in brackets in the right column indicates the
default mapping of the key function named in the left column. In
the list, S+ indicates the Shift key, C+ indicates the Control key
and A+ indicates the Alt key.

For example:

WY_INSLINE (S+C+VK_INSERT)

indicates that the Wyse emulation Insert Line function is mapped
to the key combination Shift + Control + Insert.

Special key functions supported by each terminal emulation can be
mapped to keys using the predefined macros listed in the

Key

Macro Settings

dialog.

Keyboard Configuration

38 Defining Key Functions

Defining Key Functions

You can redefine the function of keys on the keyboard using the Key

Macro Settings dialog. The options in this dialog enable you to rede-

fine the function of most of the keys on your keyboard including the
key combinations listed below:

Key Alt + Key
Shift + Key Alt + Shift + Key
Control + Key Alt + Control + Key
Control + Shift + Key Alt + Control + Shift + Key

The

Key Macro Settings dialog can be displayed using one of the

following methods:

Session Wizard: Click on the Key Macros... button in Step 2.

TeemTalk Window: Select Key Macros... on the Tools menu.

Keyboard Configuration

Defining Key Functions 39

The top right panel is used to display information about keys that
have been programmed and enables you to select them in order to
edit or delete. The

Key column identifies the programmed key using

its virtual key name. The

Type column specifies how the macro is to

be processed. The

Macro column displays the function definition.

The

Emulation Keys list box enables you to select from a list of

standard key functions specific to the currently selected terminal
emulation. The information in brackets in the right column indicates
the default mapping of the key function named in the left column. In
the list, S+ indicates the Shift key, C+ indicates the Control key and
A+ indicates the Alt key.

For example:

WY_INSLINE (S+C+VK_INSERT)

indicates that the Wyse emulation Insert Line function is mapped to
the key combination Shift + Control + Insert.

The

Virtual Keys list box enables you to select from a list of standard

key functions available for all terminal emulations.

The procedure for programming a key is as follows:

1 On your keyboard, press the key or key combination you want to

define. The

Key to Program box will display the corresponding

virtual key name for each key pressed.

2 In the Macro box enter the function definition for the key or key

combination.

The definition may contain a string of up to 127 characters. The
combined total of all the characters that may be programmed
into keys is determined by the 127 character limit per definition
and the amount of memory available in your PC.

The definition can contain key functions and control characters
to be actioned as well as normal text. Refer to the appendix
“Programming Keys & Buttons” on page 287 for details.

Double-clicking on an

Emulation Key or Virtual Key will apply

that key function to the key definition.

Keyboard Configuration

40 Defining Key Functions

You can clear the macro by clicking the

Clear button.

3 Test the function definition by clicking the Play Macro button.

4 Specify how the macro is to be processed by selecting one of the

following options in the

Type list box.

Normal the macro will be processed according to the current

operating mode when the key or key combination is
pressed.

Remote the macro will be transmitted to the host.

Local the macro will be actioned locally.

Startup the macro will be processed automatically

on startup.

5 If you want to program another key using the current macro

definition, click the

New Key button.

If you want to program another key with a different macro
definition, click the

New Macro button.

You can delete a key definition by selecting it in the list of
defined keys (top right) then clicking the

Delete Macro button.

6 When you have finished defining key functions, click OK.

7 To save the key definitions, select File > Save Session.

Keyboard Configuration

Compose Character Sequences 41

Compose Character Sequences

Compose character sequences can be used to generate codes for
characters not shown on your keyboard. The characters that can be
composed depend on whether the terminal emulation is in National
or Multinational character set mode. When the terminal emulation is

in National character set mode, only characters found in the
character set that corresponds to the selected keyboard nationality
can be composed. When the terminal emulation is in Multinational
character set mode, characters from all national keyboard layouts
can be composed.

If a character is a diacritical symbol (e.g. ´ or ¨) and this symbol does
not appear on the keyboard, an equivalent character can be used in
some cases. The diacritical symbols and the possible substitutes are
shown below. There are no equivalents for the circumflex accent and
tilde mark.

Diacritical Mark Equivalent Character

´ Acute accent ' Apostrophe
¨ Umlaut " Double quote
` Grave accent ' Single quote
° Ring mark * Asterisk or degree sign

To compose a character, first find the character you wish to compose
in the left hand column of the following tables. The two characters
shown in the right hand column are the keys that are used to create
it. Several alternatives may be given for generating the same charac­ter. A compose sequence is initiated by pressing the keys Alt + C
together, followed by the key bearing the first character then the key
bearing the second character.

Note: The compose character sequence can also be initiated by
pressing a key defined with the COMPOSE virtual key name.

A compose character sequence may be abandoned before
completion by pressing the Delete key. Pressing Alt + C (or the key
defined with the COMPOSE virtual key name) again before
completing a compose character sequence will cause it to be

Keyboard Configuration

42 Compose Character Sequences

abandoned and a second sequence to be started. An invalid compose
character sequence will cause the bell to sound.

The following tables use several conventions:

• The keys bearing the characters used to compose a special char-

acter may be pressed in any order unless (in order) is specified.

• (DEC Multinat.) indicates that the character can only be com-

posed if the terminal emulation is in Multinational mode and the

Character Set option is set to Multinational.

• (Latin-1) indicates that the character can only be composed if the

terminal emulation is in Multinational mode and the

Character

Set

option is set to ISO Latin-1.

• If a nationality is specified with the character description, for

example (Dutch), then the character can only be composed when
the terminal emulation is in National mode and the system is con­figured for the relevant language.

CHAPTER 6 Soft Buttons

This chapter describes how to use the soft buttons.

Introduction

A set of soft buttons are provided which can be programmed to
perform a wide variety of functions when clicked. By default they
are displayed at the bottom of the TeemTalk window.

There are four soft button levels. Each level consists of twelve but­tons providing a combined total of 48 programmable buttons. You
can display all four levels at the same time if required. All levels
are accessible even if not all are displayed, levels stored off-screen
can be 'scrolled' into view by clicking the

Level # button.

The button below the

Level # button on each level cannot be pro-

grammed, but it has two uses. It can be used to scroll through the
available levels in reverse order, and you can specify text to be dis­played on it as a label describing the buttons on that level.

You can detach the soft buttons so that they are displayed in a sep­arate window either by clicking the

Restore Down button above the

top-right soft button, or by unchecking the

Attached to the window

option in the

Soft Button Settings dialog.

Soft Buttons

54 Defining Soft Button Functions

To re-attach the soft buttons to the TeemTalk window, either dou­ble-click on the title bar of the

Soft Buttons window, or select the

Attached to the window option in the Soft Button Settings dialog.

You can remove the soft buttons from the display either by selecting

Windows > Soft Buttons from the View menu so that it is

unchecked, or in the

Soft Button Settings dialog by setting the

Visible Levels option to 0.

To re-display the soft buttons, either select

Windows > Soft Buttons

from the

View menu so that it is checked, or in the Soft Button

Settings

dialog, set the Visible Levels option to any number other

than 0.

Defining Soft Button Functions

Soft button functions are defined using the Soft Button Settings
dialog which can be displayed using one of the following methods:

Session Wizard: Click on the Soft Buttons... button in Step 2.

TeemTalk Window: Select Soft Buttons... on the Tools menu.

Soft Buttons

Defining Soft Button Functions 55

The top right panel is used to display information about soft buttons
that have been programmed and enables you to select them in order
to edit or delete. The

Title column displays the text that will appear

on the soft button. An asterisk in the

Lcl column indicates that the

function will be actioned locally. The

Macro column displays the

function definition.

The

Emulation Keys list box enables you to select from a list of

standard key functions specific to the currently selected terminal
emulation. The information in brackets in the right column indicates
the default mapping of the key function by TeemTalk. For example:

WY_INSLINE (S+C+VK_INSERT)

indicates that the Wyse emulation Insert Line function is mapped to
the key combination Shift + Control + Insert on a standard
Enhanced AT keyboard.

The

Virtual Keys list box enables you to select from a list of standard

key functions available for all terminal emulations.

Soft Buttons

56 Defining Soft Button Functions

The procedure for defining a soft button is as follows:

1 In the top-right panel, select the button number (B1 - B12) on the

required level (

Lvl1 - Lvl4).

Note that selecting one of the

Lvl# button levels will enable you

to specify a title for that group of buttons. The title will be
displayed on the button immediately below the

Level # button,

but you cannot program this button.

2 In the Title box enter the text to be displayed on the button (up to

twenty characters).

3 In the Macro box enter the function definition for the button.

The definition can contain key functions and control characters
to be actioned as well as normal text. Refer to the appendix
“Programming Keys & Buttons” on page 287 for details.

Double-clicking on an

Emulation Key or Virtual Key will apply

that key function to the button definition.

4 Test the function definition by clicking the Play Macro button.

5 If you want the function to be performed locally only, check the

Local box.

6 Specify how many soft button levels you want to be displayed at

any one time using the

Visible Levels selection list. You can

display up to four levels at a time with each level containing
twelve programmable soft buttons. Selecting

0 will remove the

soft buttons from the display.

7 If you want the soft buttons displayed in a separate window,

uncheck the

Attached to the window option.

8 When you have finished defining soft button functions, click

OK.

9 To save the soft button settings, select File > Save Session.

CHAPTER 7 Display Attributes

This chapter describes how to change the colours used in the emu­lation workspace and specify how text with attributes is displayed.

Introduction

TeemTalk provides a variety of options for you to customise how
the display appears in the emulation workspace. You can change
the colour of the screen background and the foreground text. You
can assign different colours to text with specific attributes or
attribute combinations, and you can change the default text
attributes.

Text with attributes can be displayed in various ways. For example,
characters with the underline attribute can be displayed as standard
(e.g. underlined only), as a particular colour only (e.g. green with­out the underline), or with both attribute and a specific colour (e.g.
underlined and green).

This chapter describes how to use the

Attributes dialog to specify

the display settings you prefer.

CHAPTER 10 VT Series Emulations

This chapter describes features of the VT suite of terminal
emulations.

Introduction

The VT Series suite of terminal emulations consists of the follow­ing emulations which can be selected using the

Emulation mode

option in the

VT Series Settings dialog:

AIXTerm Provides compatibility with software designed to

drive an X terminal using X Windows.

Ansi BBS This emulation is a derivative of the ANSI device

driver ANSI.SYS supplied with all DOS based
PCs and which provides the screen management
for the DOS console screen. PC based UNIX sys­tems and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) often rely
on the ANSI emulation when being accessed by a
PC. In ANSI BBS mode the screen size is adjusted
to 25 lines and the preferred character set is set to
ANSI.

AT 386 Provides compatibility with software designed to

drive the AT&T AT 386 terminal.

ATT4410 Provides compatibility with software designed to

drive the AT&T Dataspeed 4410 terminal. Refer
to the section “AT&T 4410 Emulation” on
page 88 for details.

VT Series Emulations

80 Introduction

Sco Console This is an emulation of the SCO UNIX box.

VT PCTerm Provides compatibility with software designed for

the PC Term mode supported by DEC.

VT52 and VT100

These emulations enable you to run applications
written for the DEC VT52 and VT100 terminals,
respectively.

VT100+ This emulation is an enhanced version of the VT100

emulation that provides additional functionality
such as colours. It is the same as the VT-UTF8 emu­lation except that it only supports ASCII characters
0-127 (decimal).

VT+HP220 This emulation is based on the VT500 terminal

series and includes the HP function keys F1 - F8
(not user programmable). The terminal ID is set to
VT220.

VT510 7-Bit and VT510 8-Bit

These emulations enable you to run applications
written for the DEC VT320 terminal, the difference
is in their treatment of 8-bit control codes. When

VT510 7-Bit is selected, all 8-bit codes are con-

verted to their 7-bit equivalents, whereas

VT510 8-

Bit

leaves 8-bit codes unchanged. If you are using

VT200 applications, select

VT510 7-Bit.

VT-UTF8 This emulation is an enhanced version of the VT100

emulation that supports non-English and drawing
characters. It supports localization of the single-byte
and double-byte character sets and all other lan­guages supported by Windows. Additional func­tionality, such as colours, is also provided.

The information in brackets in the right column indicates the default
mapping of the key function named in the left column. In the list, S+
indicates the Shift key, C+ indicates the Control key and A+ indi­cates the Alt key.

For example:

VT_F20 (A+VK_F10)

indicates that the F20 function is mapped to the key combination Alt
+ F10.

The keyboard has operating two modes, Normal or DEC. You can
toggle between the two modes by pressing the keys Alt + Num
Lock together. The 9th item on the status bar will display DEC
when the keyboard is in DEC mode.

Special key functions usually found on a DEC VT keyboard can be
mapped to any key on your keyboard using the VT virtual key
names listed in the

Key Macro Settings dialog.

The illustrations on the following pages show where DEC VT510
keyboard functions are mapped to keys on a 101/102 key keyboard.
