Overview of the Terminal

This chapter provides an overview of the terminal’s hardware and

connectors, operating features, and site requirements.

You can use the terminal to:

• Connect to an Ethernet network through the terminal’s ThinWire

port.

• Connect directly to a computer through one of the terminal’s two

serial ports, like a traditional terminal.

• Display multiple video terminal (VTE) windows and applications over

both the Ethernet and serial lines at the same time.

• Interact over an Ethernet network with multiple VTE window,

DECwindows, and X window applications running under the VMS,

ULTRIX, or UNIX operating system.

• Support the local area terminal (LAT) protocol for VMS systems

and the transmission control protocol/Internet protocol (TCP/IP) for

ULTRIX and UNIX systems.

NOTE

To identify the terminal’s hardware conﬁguration, see Section 3.1.
