Appendices 105
Appendix C: Serial Console Viewer Terminal Emulation
The Serial Console Viewer supports several terminal emulation modes. This appendix lists the
supported terminal emulation control characters and byte sequences for the modes.
Encode refers to how the client application processes typed keys. Decode refers to how the client
application processes data coming from the server.
VT terminal emulation
In the VT terminal emulation modes, when a key on the keypad is entered, it is treated as its label.
For example, is you press the
7
on the keypad, it is encoded as a 7. Pressing the key containing a
period causes a period to be encoded.
VT100+ terminal emulation
The VT100+ emulation mode provides compatibility with the Microsoft headless server EMS
serial port interface. The Serial Console Viewer VT100+ terminal emulation works identically to
VT100, with the exception of support for the function keys listed in Table C.1.

* ASCII, VT100 and VT102 modes send hex 7F when the Delete key is pressed.
** VT100 and VT102 modes map the F1 through F4 keys to the PF1 through PF4 keys.
