Terminal emulation modes overview
The Serial Session Viewer supports several terminal emulation modes. This section lists the supported
terminal emulation control characters and byte sequences for the modes.
Encode refers to how the client application processes typed keys. Decode refers to how the client
application processes data coming from the server.
VT terminal emulation
In the VT terminal emulation modes, when a key on the keypad is entered, it is treated as its label. For
example, is you press the 7 on the keypad, it is encoded as a 7. Pressing the key containing a period
causes a period to be encoded.
VT100+ terminal emulation
The VT100+ emulation mode provides compatibility with the Microsoft headless server EMS serial port
interface. The Serial Console Viewer VT100+ terminal emulation works identically to VT100, with the
exception of support for the function keys listed in VT100+ Function Key Support.

* ASCII, VT100 and VT102 modes send hex 7F when the Delete key is pressed.
** VT100 and VT102 modes map the F1 through F4 keys to the PF1 through PF4 keys.
VT102 terminal emulation
VT102 terminal emulation works identically to VT100 with additional support for decoding receive codes
as described in VT102 Receive Codes.
