Chapter 1. Becoming Familiar with Your Display Station
Your display station is made up of three workstation elements: video, logic, and
keyboard elements. Each element can be easily disconnected and replaced if
you have operating problems.
The display station can attach
either of the following two types of keyboard
elements.
• 122/124-key Typewriter Keyboard (122-keyfor the U.S. and other countries,
124-key
for Japan).
• IBM Enhanced Keyboard (102-key for the U.S., 103-key for countries other
than the U.S., 104-key
for Japan).
This manual describes the functions and operations of the 3197 display station
using the U.S. English 122-key typewriter keyboard and the U.S. English 102-key
IBM enhanced keyboard.
For the key-top nomenclatures and keyboard layouts
for countries other than the
U.S., refer to Appendix
B, "Keyboard Layouts for Languages Other than U.S.
English."

Note: There are two different types of keyboards. Figure 1-1 shows the 122-key

Warning: An improperly wired outlet or plug can place
hazardous voltages on accessible metal parts of this
display
station. The power cord and plug (when supplied) on your display
station have been approved for use with this display station and
meets'the necessary testing
laboratory/test house standards. For
your safety, the power cord and plug must be connected to a
properly wired and grounded outlet. The customer is responsible
for the outlet and plug wiring.
If it becomes necessary to change the power cord or plug or if the
outlet is
improperly wired, have the change made according to
local
or national code. A new power cord may be ordered from
your IBM sales representative.

Security Keylock
The function of each switch or control is described below.
When the switch lever is moved to the right (toward I), the display station's
power is turned on. Moving the lever to the left (toward
0) turns the display
station's power off.
When you power
on the display station, tests will run to make sure all elements
are operating as they should. If there are any problems during these tests, an
error code appears on the operating status line (see Figure 1-2), and an alarm
may sound. See Appendix A, "Error Codes and Recovery Procedures" for a
description of the
error codes.
When the power switch is set to I(on), this indicator lights.
Turning this knob counterclockwise dims the screen. Turning it clockwise
brightens the screen.
When the security key is in the locked position, the security keylock prevents
anyone from entering
or viewing data on the display screen and a)( ~, symbol
appears on the operating status line (bottom line of the display screen.)
When a printer is attached to the display station and is in operation, even
if the
security key is locked, the
printer can receive and print data from the host
system.
To unlock the keylock and operate the display station, insert the key and turn
it
clockwise until it stops. The key can be removed from the keylock in either the
locked or the unlocked position.

Adjusting Keyboard Slope
You can select two keyboard angles for both types of keyboards.
To adjust the keyboard to the highest angle, turn the keyboard
over and flip the
legs down from the underside of the keyboard. The legs lock into place.
With the legs locked into the keyboard, the keyboard sits at the minimum angle.

Display Screen
Data Area
Separator Line
Operatina Status
-----------------~---
Your display screen is divided into two basic areas: data area and operating
status area.
The data area is used to display the data received either from
your keyboard or
the host system. The data area can display up to 1920 characters (24 lines of 80
characters). and also includes a message line at the bottom of the area. The
message line is used to display messages from the host system
or to display the
error codes.
The area below the separator line is the operating status line and indicates the
status of your display station
or the attached printer.
Figure
1-2 shows the standard format (1920 characters) of your display screen.

Symbols on the Operating Status Line
The various symbols appearing on the operating status line are used to indicate:
• Operational status of the display station
• Operational errors or machine failures detected by your display station
• Selection of the available functions.
The symbols available
for the operating status line vary depending on the
modes: normal communication, setup, record/play and printer setup. The
following sections describe the location and the meanings of the symbols in
normal communication, setup, and printer setup modes.
For the symbols in record/play mode, refer to "Record/Play Operation" in
Chapter 3
