APPENDIX A: Remote Terminal Information 

Most terminal emulation programs
(for example, ProComm

®

) require

that you set the program to ANSI
mode.

A true VT102™ terminal will be set
by the 232 Monitor Plus to ANSI
mode. If it is not in ANSI mode, the
function keys F3-F8 will behave
unpredictably.
