• Setting the node to forward packets of data to the LinkUp 5294 after receipt of a control code hex
value of 00 through 1F and 7F from the he terminal.
• Setting the node to forward packets of data to the LinkUp 5294 after a specified time (in
milliseconds) of terminal inactivity has transpired.
For example, in this PAD-configured environment, the LinkUp 5294 could support the System/3X field
auto-exit capability. When a PAD echoes characters, the LinkUp 5294 is unable to move the cursor
according to this standard 3X facility unless it is notified in some way to do so. Setting the PAD with
either of these options will succeed in notifying the LinkUp 5294.

LinkUp 5294. Once established, you can select which mode you want to access next.
NOTE
Depending on your operating criteria, you may restrict your terminal operators from
ever encountering this mode. If restriction is desired, then you must define the LinkUp
5294 configuration parameter values (found in Configurator Mode) as non-overridable.
