Reports
The wireless station sends reports in response to host com-
puter requests. Reports provide identification (type of ter-
minal). Two categories of reports are available: primary
and secondary device attributes, and device status reports.
Device Attributes (DA)
Table 8-27 shows the action taken by the wireless station
when it receives primary and secondary device attribute
exchanges. During a primary exchange, the host asks for
the wireless station’s service class code. The wireless sta-
tion responds with “I am a service class 2 terminal.” Dur-
ing a secondary exchange the wireless station responds
with “I am a VT220 (identification code of 1) family termi-
nal.”
