Default Server-Wide Terminal Type and Keyboard Maps
The following table shows the default keyboard map and the associated terminal
type:
These particular associations between terminal types and keyboard maps are
fixed. You cannot reassign any of the five default terminal types to different
keyboard maps. You cannot customize any of the individual key assignments for
either of the two default keyboard maps on an access server-wide basis. These
default terminal types and keyboard maps are intended for users who do not
need any customization.
You can display the key assignments for the default keyboard map (VT220, in this
example) with this command:
Local> SHOW TN3270 KEYMAP VT220
Defining New Server-Wide Terminal Types and Keyboard Maps
The privileged user can set up new terminal types and keyboard maps; up to six
of each. New terminal types can be associated with one of the default keyboard
maps or with a new keyboard map that has customized individual key
assignments.
The first of the following two commands below creates a new terminal type called
PC_100_DCA and associates it with the default VT100 keyboard map. You might
want to do this, for example, if you have PCs that emulate VT100 terminals. The
key assignments for the PC_100_DCA terminal type would look exactly like those
for the VT100 keyboard map.
The second command reassigns PC_100_DCA to an entirely new keyboard map,
called NEW_KEYS. NEW_KEYS starts out looking like the default VT100
keyboard map until you customize the key assignments (if you choose to do so).
Customizing Server-Wide Keyboard Maps, in this chapter, discusses
customization.
