Customizing Terminal and Printer Type Files with the Workstation Configurator (32022-90031)

Chapter 3 39

Using a New Terminal or Printer Type File

Using Terminal Type Files in Logon Strings

A terminal type ﬁle can be speciﬁed in the logon string. When a

terminal type ﬁle is speciﬁed in the logon string, the ﬁle is associated

with the ldev number for the duration of the session. The :HELLO

command accepts either a terminal type number or a terminal type ﬁle

name with the ;TERM=parameter. For example, the following logon

allows the terminal user called TEMPUSER.TEST to use the terminal

type ﬁle called MYTERM.

:HELLO TEMPUSER.TEST;TERM=MYTERM

If a terminal type ﬁle is speciﬁed in the logon string, that ﬁle remains

active until the :BYE command is entered. Unless a terminal type ﬁle is

speciﬁed in the logon string, the conﬁgured terminal type ﬁle associated

with that ldev number is used until the :BYE command is entered.
