DOT (Duplication Option Terminal), on the back of cabinet A. At any time, the
terminal may be disconnected from the Duplication Interface circuit pack A and
connected directly to the active processor circuit pack by attaching the terminal
to the connector labeled TERM. This connection should be made only if the
terminal fails to function, since a problem with the Duplication Interface circuit
pack A may be present.
Typical tasks that can be performed at the terminal are shown below.
■ Display Error and Alarm logs
■ Test circuit packs
■ Test system functions
■ Busyout and release system equipment
■ Reset the system
■ Monitor the system
■ Check status of maintenance objects
■ Check system translations
Most maintenance functions performed at the local administration terminal can
also be done remotely at the INADS (Initialization and Administration System).
Terminal Keyboard
The keyboard is equipped with cursor keys, editing keys, and transaction keys.
The three types of keys are described here.
Cursor Keys: Cursor keys are used to move the cursor between fields and
pages on a screen form. The cursor must be positioned on a field before the user
can add or change information in that field.
Editing Keys: Two editing keys, BACKSPACE and Clear, are provided. BACKSPACE is
used to erase the character at the current cursor position. The cursor moves one
position to the left each time the key is pressed. If the cursor is at the first position
of the data entry field, it erases the character at the first position.
Clear when
pressed simultaneously with the
Shift is used to clear all data in a field on a screen
form. The cursor must be positioned at the field the user wants to clear before
Clear is pressed.
Transaction Keys: Three transaction keys, Cancel, Enter, and Help, are provided.
CANCEL is used to erase a form or command. Once the key is pressed, the
system returns the user to the command (tasks request) level and asks for a new
command.
Enter is used to store the data entered on a screen form in the
system’s memory.
Help displays information on the type of data that can be
entered into the field associated with the current cursor position. The system
displays all the permissible entries the user can input for that field. This key can
be pressed at the ”enter command” level to obtain a list of all commands.
