13 Task Usage
The terminal runs a multi-tasking operating system. A list of processes or tasks running in the
terminal is listed in this menu. If any task runs out of space, the terminal will cease to operate
correctly.
Tick Task - The Timer task that runs every 10 milli-seconds. Used for timing events and processes
that must run frequently
Comms Task - Sends and receives comms messages on behalf of the user. (Verify and Unloads
and Acknowledgments)
Aux Task - Runs any device on the Aux port
NetPoll Task - Sends a poll to Supervisor Net every 10 seconds and also does scrolling of the
display.Triggered by the Tick task
TCP Main Task - Receives messages from the Terminal Server and passes them to the Comms
task
Net Recv Task - Waits for messages from other ports, (i.e. not from the Terminal Service)
Net Timer Task - Runs IP Stack functions to process buffers etc
UDP Status Task - Receives UDP messages on the Status port mostly from the Ip Terminal Utility

14 Hub Status
This menu item was introduced into the Version 6 hardware platform to provide diagnostic
information on the internal hub chip.
Term Packets Rx=00046 Tx=001EF
The number of Receive and Transmit packets between the Terminal (Internal LAN IC) and the Hub
IC
Main Packets Rx=00219 Tx=0004B
The number of Receive and Transmit packets between the Lower (Main) Hub connector and the
Hub IC
Aux Packets Rx=00000 Tx=00000
The number of Receive and Transmit packets between the Upper (Aux) Hub connector and the Hub
IC.
If for instance this port is connected to a printer, then the traffic, in packets, flowing between the
hub and the printer is displayed here.
