Appendix D: Terminal Emulation
This appendix contains information about the keys, sequences, encoding and decoding for the
DSView management software terminal emulation modes when using the Telnet Viewer.
Encode refers to how the client interface processes typed keys. Decode refers to how the client
interface processes data coming from the target device.
The terminal emulation mode is set by selecting Options - Session Properties in the Telnet
Viewer window and then using the Terminal Emulation drop-down menu in the Session
Properties dialog box. See Customizing Session Properties on page 332.
