4.1.3.a Term:

The field TERM was added to the Set-up Menu to enable physical locations to be identified. All Telnet connections to a host computer are assigned a pseudo TTY as the connection is made, thus the same terminal is not always the same TTY. We have added the field TERM as a means of addressing this issue.

During a Telnet connection the content of the Unix TERM variable is sent to the host from the SpotLine M110 terminal as defined in the emulation field on the Sessions menu.

i.e.;

Ansi SCO	sends ansi
VT100	sends vt100
VT220	sends vt220
and so on....

Adding the field TERM in the Sessions menu allows a method to always identify that session in Unix.

i.e.;

If you are using SCO UNIX and want Session 1 to be known as Terminal 15 then you must do two things:

a)Change the TERM field from DEFAULT to ansi 15

b)In the Unix host, modify the .profile file for this user as follows; set ‘echo $TERM‘

TERM=$1 TNB=$2

export TERM TNB

Now any application can read the Unix variable and know this is terminal 15

CAUTION: If you modify the .profile file but do not change the field no harm is done only the application won’t know the terminal number, but if you change the TERM field from DEFAULT to ansi 15 and do not modify the .profile file for this user, then Unix will not recognize the terminal type.
