3.5 Manager-Defined Terminal Configuration
When a user logs on after a cold start, Router requests selection of a
Terminal Type. Option 5 of the menu allows the terminal characteristics
to be defined to match the terminal in use. This is only necessary if you are
not using one of the predefined terminal types.
The process used to define the terminal type is carried out in a TTY
'question and answer' mode as follows. The information highlighted in
bold shows an example for a VT100 type terminal.
Define Terminal Profile 5 - MgrDefined
Input Parameters
Enter Cursor Left Sequence : ^[[D
Enter Cursor Right Sequence : ^[[C
Enter Cursor Up Sequence : ^[[A
Enter Cursor Down Sequence : ^[[B
Output Parameters
Enter Initialise Device sequence : ^[C
Enter Clear Screen & Home sequence : ^[[2J^[[1;1H
Enter Clear Line Sequence : ^[[2K
Enter Cursor Position Type : ASCII
Enter Cursor Position Offset : 1
Enter Cursor Position String : ^[[%r;%cH
Is the above correct? : (Y,N,Q)
Control characters are symbolised by a preceding carat (^), for example ^[ is
equivalent to an ESC character (see Appendix D). Entering two carats (
^^)
represents one actual carat character and not a control sequence.
%r
indicates the row address, and %c the column address.
When the complete definition is entered, type
Yes to confirm the
configuration. Router stores these parameters in Terminal Profile 5 with
the name
MgrDefined. The manager then uses these characteristics from
the newly-configured Terminal Profile 5. If
Yes is not entered, then the
whole process is repeated.
Once Terminal Profile 5 is configured and entered, the
Define option will no
longer be presented, and future logons are given the option of
MgrDefined,
i.e. the name of Terminal Profile 5.
