Teklogix 7035, 8255 & 8260 Terminals User Manual
Dev Attr
This parameter specifies a device attribute string. This string can be up to 39
characters long. The terminal sends this string to the host when it receives a DA or
DECID control. Whether or not this parameter is set is dependent on the
requirements of the host computer.
Auto-Answer
This string can be up to 39 characters long and is sent by the terminal as a reply to
an “ENQ” character from the host. The “Auto-Answer” string is programmable in
the same manner as the keyboard macros. For example, this string can be used to
automatically send the user name and password when logging into the host. Refer to
"String Entry Parameters" on page 115 to 116 for detailed information.
7 Bit
If this parameter is set to ‘Y’, the terminal transmits 7-bit controls. When set to ‘N’,
the terminal transmits 8-bit controls. ‘7 Bit’ is set to ‘Y’ by default.

Echo Mode
The available echo modes are:
Smart: This mode reduces or eliminates the delay between typing a character on
the keyboard and displaying the character echoed by the host computer.
The terminal displays all printable characters on the screen before sending
them to the host. The terminal compares the characters echoed by the host
to the characters placed on the page and alters the display if the host
echoes are different.
The maximum number of characters waiting for echo is 25. Any addi-
tional characters are sent to the host but are not displayed. When the
terminal is in insert mode, smart echo is disabled.
