Setup 23
An exception to this is function/edit key and answerback message programming. Once edited in Setup, the
changes are saved regardless of the way in which you exit Setup.
Movement Inside Menus
F1 through F12
- Select the menu that corresponds to the function key. Access to the “EXEC” menu is available
using either the
(PC-style keyboards) or
F13
(ANSI keyboard) key. The keys are labeled at the top of each
menu.
Cursor control keys (
↑←↓→
)
- These keys control movement to parameters within the menu and is indicated by a
highlighted selection bar. This selection bar will wrap to the other side of the menu at the top, bottom and side
boundaries. For each parameter, there are at least two choices. As the parameter is highlighted, the available
choices appear in the area above the help bar.
Some parameters are action fields and have no choices. See the
Action Fields
section later in the chapter.
Enter and Shift-Enter
- Cycle “up” or “down” through the choices for a given parameter.
The following keystrokes are also available but are not documented in the Setup help bar.
Tab and Shift-Tab
- Move from menu to menu forward or backward without using function keys.
Space and Shift-Space
- Cycle through the list of choices. Same as Enter and Shift-Enter.
Parameters are changed and executed as soon as that field is exited. Page resets may occur when certain
choices are made in Setup, and the screen will temporarily become blank while the terminal processes.
Action Fields
Certain parameters are not selections but action fields. When the action field is highlighted and then selected,
the action is taken. A “WAIT” message may appear at the top right portion of the screen, and when the action is
completed, a “DONE” message will appear. These messages are cleared when the selection bar is placed on
another parameter.
Dual Session Mode
There are two “sets” of “session” setup parameters, if you are using the terminal in dual session mode. To toggle
between sessions while in or out of setup mode, press
Ctrl-Enter
(num). For a complete explanation of session-
dependent and terminal-dependent parameters, see the Glossary of Terms section at the end of this chapter.
