Configuring
the
Terminal
INTRODUCTION
3
Configuration
parameters
may
be
changed from
the
keyboard
via
configuration
menus
or,
in
some cases, programmatically,
by
escape sequences.
A
menu
isa
list
ofconfiguration
parameters
which
are
displayed on
the
screen.
Each
parameter
has
an
associated space for a
value
which you select. Many of
the
parameters
have
a system-
defined
list
of
values.
For
others, you
must
enter
the
value from
the
keyboard.
For
parameters
with
system-definedvalues, two function keylabels
are
displayed
with
the
menu
t6
enable
you
to
scroll forward
NEXT
CHOICE
or
backward
PREVIOUS
CHOICE
through
the
list
of values.
NONVOLATILE MEMORY
The
terminal
contains
a battery-powered portion of memory, called nonvolatile memory,
in
which a
set
of
values
is
preserved
for
all
configuration
menus
and
the
User
Key
menu
when
power
to
the
terminal
is
shut
off.
The
set
stored is
the
one
last
stored by
the
user.
If
none
has
been
stored
by
the
user,
the
default
set
is stored. When a
menu
is displayed,
the
values
currently
active
are
displayed. When
the
terminal
is powered up,
the
set
of
values
stored
in
nonvolatile
memory
becomes
the
active set.
CONFIGURATION FROM THE KEYBOARD
The
sequence for
changing
a
set
of
configuration values is to display
the
menu,
make
the
desired changes,
and
store
the
values
in
nonvolatile memory.
The
act
of
storing
the
value~
in
nonvolatile
memory
also
makes
them
the
active set.
Some
of
the
content
of
these
menus
may
also be
altered
from a
program
executing
in
a
host
computer
through
the
use
of
escape sequences.
The
changes
made
by
the
host
computer
are
temporary
and
will be lost
through
hard
reset
or
powerdown.
That
is,
the
changes
are
not
saved
in
nonvolatile memory.
