Keyboard
Important: To suspend Smart echo mode if, for example, you are
entering a password, press <ALT> and type ‘.’ (period).
Characters will be replaced with a series of periods until
you press the <ENTER> key.
Local: In this mode, any character entered using the keyboard is displayed before
being sent to the host. Certain keys cause additional action at the terminal,
as shown in Table 7.2 on page 157.
Host: In this mode, the terminal sends all keyboard entries to the host and
displays only data received from the host.
Table 7.2 Function Of Special Keys In Local Echo Mode
DEL Key
This parameter determines which character is sent to the host – DEL (delete) or BS
(backspace). The host interprets how it will respond to the code. The selection made
at this parameter does not affect how the <DEL> key operates at the terminal.
PrintScreen Key
This parameter determines the “hot-key” that will print the screen contents through
the terminal serial port. The default is
16
or <CTRL> P.
Note: The terminal’s serial port must be set for ‘Print’. Refer to “Serial 1 And
Console 2 Peripheral Options” on page 176.
