\section{The Set-Up Screens}
|
|
|
|
The Set-Up screens imitate the same functions on a real DEC VT100 terminal.
|
|
|
|
Use \texttt{F1} to toggle the help display which shows all keys. \\
|
|
Use \texttt{5} to advance to the next screen.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Set-Up A}
|
|
|
|
This page shows the tab stops and offers to toggle \textbf{80/132 columns} text display and also switching between
|
|
\textbf{online} and \textbf{local mode}.
|
|
|
|
In \textbf{online mode}, the terminal is connected to the computer via the serial port.\\
|
|
In \textbf{local mode}, the terminal can be used to connect directly to the modem using the \textit{Quick Settings menu} (see \vref{quicksettings}).
|
|
|
|
Use \texttt{Shift-S} (capital \texttt{S}) to save and \texttt{Shift-R} (capital \texttt{R}) to recall the settings from NVS.
|
|
|
|
\subsection{Set-Up B}
|
|
|
|
On this page, various configuration 'bits' can be set. Use the cursor to navigate above the bit and press \texttt{6} to toggle it. Use \texttt{Tab} and \texttt{Enter }to move quicker.
|
|
|
|
These bits are available:
