Overview of the Terminal

1.1.3 Keyboard
The terminal uses the LK400 series keyboard. It has four groups of keys,
two LED indicators, and two audible indicators—a keyclick and bell.
The LK401-XX is the standard version, and the LK402-XX is the word
processing version.
1.1.4 Mouse
The mouse is a three-button pointing device. The mouse lets you choose
items from screen menus or move the cursor to different points on the
screen.
1.2 Operating Features
This section briefly describes terminal sessions, network protocols, and
how to control feature settings on the terminal.
1.2.1 X Window Sessions and Video Terminal Sessions
The terminal lets you open two types of sessions on host computers:
Video Terminal Session
The terminal has a video terminal (VTE) window that lets you log into a
host as you would on a conventional video terminal. The terminal’s VTE
window works like Digital’s VT320 terminal.
X Window Session
The terminal lets you open X window sessions. To run an X window
session, you log into a host and use that host’s X window software.
You can open one X window session and several VTE sessions at the
same time. Within the X window session, you can run multiple X window
clients. Each X window client and VTE session appears in a separate
window.
1.2.2 Network Communication Protocols
You can use the terminal with the VMS, ULTRIX, or UNIX operating
systems. You can run video terminal sessions and X window sessions on
any of these operating systems.
For VMS systems:
The local area transport (LAT) protocol is the
communication protocol.
