Terminal Configuration
Choose the System Administration submenu.
Enter the letter T for Terminal Configuration to access the following
submenu:
Presently configured options are highlighted with an arrowhead (“>”).
Changes to the configured terminal characteristics (terminal type and half/
full duplex) take effect immediately. For example, changing from half duplex
to full duplex will cause the management agent to begin echoing your input
immediately. The management agent “remembers” all changes and retains
them in the event of a power failure.
Any changes to serial interface options (data bits, stop bits, parity, data rate)
are “remembered,” but do not take effect until the next management agent
session; i.e., you must select Quit from the Main Menu and then press
RETURN to begin a new session. When you are connected to the management
agent through a virtual circuit connection, these serial interface options have
no effect; they will, however, affect any later sessions with a directly
connected terminal.
ANSI—ANSI “auto configures” the management agent in accordance with
the requirements of an ANSI-standard terminal (essentially the same as a
DEC VT-100 or one of the multitude of terminals emulating the VT-100).
ANSI is also used if you want your screen to be continuously updated.
Generic—The Generic terminal option (the default) configures the
management agent for the lowest common denominator terminal. In this
configuration, the management agent makes very few assumptions about the
terminal’s capabilities and is compatible with almost all terminals.
