Chapter 5: TESS Operations
Configuration
TESS (Teklogix Screen Subsystem) is the normal operating mode of Teklogix
terminals. Teklogix protocol emulation software resident on network controllers or
a Teklogix Software Development Kit (SDK) installed in the host converts host
screens to TESS commands. The 9140 Wireless Gateway and the 9150 Access Point
are also equipped with protocol emulation software.
Note: If the message “RESET: Press Enter” flashes at the bottom of the TESS
screen when you turn on the terminal, press the <ENTER> key once.
5.1 Configuration
Note: Each TESS session must have a unique name assigned to it. Refer to
“Applications” on page 146 for more details.
The process of renaming an existing TESS session and adding a new session is
described in the section titled, “Applications” on page 146.
A unique terminal number must be assigned in the “Terminal #” parameter for each
TESS session. Refer to “Terminal #” in the section titled “TESS Settings” on
page 159 for details.
5.2 Working With Multiple Sessions
When Tekterm is launched, the first configured session will appear in the screen
area. To cycle through each session in Tekterm when multiple sessions are running:
• Press <ALT> <F6>.
Each time this key combination is pressed, the next session window becomes active.
To display a specific, configured application:
• Press the <ALT> key followed by the application number.
For example, press <ALT> 1 to display application number 1,
<ALT> 2 to display application number 2, and so on.
