H. Asynchronous Terminal Operation

Using Asynchronous Terminal Screens

There are three types of async terminal screens.

TMenu screens list selections available through the menu system.

Input screens allow you to edit or change information on a screen using screen function keys (Table H-1, Screen Function Keys) or keyboard keys

T(Table H-2, Keyboard Keys).

Display screens show the results from a data collection operation or they display device-specific information.

The async terminal supports character matching for entering values in fields. For example, if the values for a field can be DTE, NET, or PORT and you enter a D and press Return (Enter), then the field automatically populates with the value DTE.

Once an operation is initiated, status messages appear in the last row of the screen. These include Please Wait (when a command takes longer than five seconds) and Command Complete.
