Power On Self-Test (POST)
The terminal enters a Power On Self-Test (POST) mode after power-up and runs
several internal tests for a few seconds. The terminal application starts and
is displayed when the tests are completed successfully.
Introducing the Setup screen
The Setup screen is an interactive feature that helps you set the operating
parameters of the terminal. You do this by touching selections on the screen (or,
if you have an optional keyboard, by pressing keyboard keys).
Some parameters are tailored to user preference, such as the choice of cursor type
and background. Others, such as Baud Rate and Parity Sense, determine how the
terminal communicates with the host computer.
Before operating the terminal, you may need to configure some of the parameters
so that the host computer can communicate with it.
