Introduction
This terminal can emulate a
number of ASCII and ANSI
terminals, including PC-Term.
The keyboards supported by
the terminal are the 101/102
key extended PC (EPC), the
106/107 PC/+, and the
VT220™-style ANSI keyboards.
Clock, calendar, calculator,
ASCII chart, and diagnostic
desk accessories are
provided. Another feature is
the selectable overscan
border which can provide bezel-to-bezel video.
This terminal also features an easy-to-use Setup menu that is
configuration dependent—only the options that are valid for a
given emulation or hardware configuration are presented.
Setup also has a “Quick” menu that summarizes the options
most critical to the operation of the terminal. Travel between
menus is facilitated by function keys that are listed at the top of
every menu.
