HP NetRider manual Defining New Server-Wide Terminal Types and Keyboard Maps

Displaying and Customizing Keyboard Maps

Default Server-Wide Terminal Type and Keyboard Maps

The following table shows the default keyboard map and the associated terminal type:

Predefined Terminal Type	Default Keyboard Map
ANSI	VT100
VT100	VT100
VT220	VT220
VT320	VT220
VT420	VT220

These particular associations between terminal types and keyboard maps are fixed. You cannot reassign any of the five default terminal types to different keyboard maps. You cannot customize any of the individual key assignments for either of the two default keyboard maps on an access server-wide basis. These default terminal types and keyboard maps are intended for users who do not need any customization.

You can display the key assignments for the default keyboard map (VT220, in this example) with this command:

Local> SHOW TN3270 KEYMAP VT220

Defining New Server-Wide Terminal Types and Keyboard Maps

The privileged user can set up new terminal types and keyboard maps; up to six of each. New terminal types can be associated with one of the default keyboard maps or with a new keyboard map that has customized individual key assignments.

The first of the following two commands below creates a new terminal type called PC_100_DCA and associates it with the default VT100 keyboard map. You might want to do this, for example, if you have PCs that emulate VT100 terminals. The key assignments for the PC_100_DCA terminal type would look exactly like those for the VT100 keyboard map.

The second command reassigns PC_100_DCA to an entirely new keyboard map, called NEW_KEYS. NEW_KEYS starts out looking like the default VT100 keyboard map until you customize the key assignments (if you choose to do so). Customizing Server-Wide Keyboard Maps, in this chapter, discusses customization.

Note

You cannot customize the predefined VT100 keyboard map that you set up with the first command.

Local> CHANGE TN3270 TERMINAL PC_100_DCA KEYMAP VT100
