Checking Your Remote Terminal

Conﬁguration

After you have connected to the remote host, if you are using an HP

terminal or an HP terminal emulator (such as a terminal window in HP

VUE), follow this procedure to check your terminal settings on the

remote host.

1. Issue the following command at the remote host’s command prompt

to ensure that your terminal type is set to hp:

echo $TERM

2. If your terminal type is not set to hp, issue the following command to

set the terminal type:

eval ‘tset -s hp‘

NOTE Ensure that you use single back quotes and not regular single quote

marks.

3. Issue the following command at the remote host’s command prompt

to check your terminal settings:

stty

The output displayed must display the following terminal settings

apart from other terminal settings:

intr = ^C

erase = ^H

kill = ^U

4. If your terminal settings are not correct, issue the following

command to set the terminal settings:

stty intr \ˆC erase \ˆH kill \ˆU

For a detailed information, type man 1 stty or man 1 tset at the

HP-UX prompt.
