Options clrseq=escape seq
The escape sequence that clears the terminal’s current screen. This
escape sequence should be the one specified by your terminal’s
manufacturer.
npages=pages
The number of sessions available to this terminal type. This number
should be the same as the number of pages of screen memory available
on the terminal. The range is 1-9.
swtseq=SessNumSequence
A number that identifies the session and the escape sequence used to
access that session. This number should be the sequence specified by
your terminal’s manufacturer.
There are no spaces between the number identifying the session and the
key sequence used to access that session.
termtype=type
A name for the terminal type. This name must match the name specified
on the “termtype” option of the “set ports” command, and used by hosts
on your network for this type of terminal. See "set ports" on page 169.
The device server provides two default terminal types: wy60 and wy60-e.
Use the "set terms" command to display options associated with these
types of terminals.
