4. USING THE TERMINAL

4.1 How To Setup The TERMINAL

The TERMINAL is compatible with most CPUs and application packages. A menu driven setup system is provided to select and save the settings required by the CPU and application. To control the CPU, or in this case the SERIMUX, a user must be familiar with the requirements of the SERIMUX in order to setup the TERMINAL.

4.1.1 Entering TERMINAL Setup

Hold down the [ALT] key and then depress the [Esc] key to enter Setup mode. When entering Setup, any text on the screen temporarily disappears, and the main SETUP directory appears (See Figure 31). When leaving the Setup mode, the main SETUP directory disappears, and any text that was on the screen will reappear.

4.1.2 Saving and Exiting Setup

The first menu seen when entering Setup serves as a directory to the other Setup menus. To exit Setup or any submenu, press

[F12]. Pressing [F12] will return the display to the main Setup directory and with another press of [F12] the user will exit Setup.

The highlighted field at the right of the screen gives the user the choice of saving or not saving parameter changes into

memory before returning the terminal to the normal operating mode. Settings changed will effect the operating environment until the TERMINAL is powered-down. Setting changes will only be restored at power-up if they are saved before exiting Setup.

Note: If settings are not saved before exiting Setup, any new selections will be lost when the RACKMUX is powered- down.

To save Setup selections, depress the Spacebar to change the save field at the right side of the screen from NO to YES before exiting Setup. (Table 2 describes your options for exiting Setup.)

Press [F12] to leave Setup and return to the normal display mode.

4.1.3 Setup Directory

The fields at the bottom of the screen show the various setup menus where the terminal's operating parameters can be changed and the function key to press to immediately display any menu.
