SETUP MODE
Setup mode interacts with other terminal modes and func-tions in various ways.
Host Communications. Communication to the host com-puter is suspended when the terminal is in Setup mode.
Data sent from the host is stored in an input queue and processed when the terminal leaves Setup mode. (The size of this queue is set by the QUEUESIZE command.)
GIN Mode. When the terminal enters Setup mode, GIN mode is suspended. The GIN cursor disappears and graphic input is not processed. When the terminal leaves Setup mode, the cursor reappears and GIN mode con-tinues. See the 4110 Series Host Programmers Manual and the 4110 Series Command Reference Manual for details on GIN mode.
Control Characters. In Setup mode, most control charac-ters are displayed rather than executed. Control characcharac-ters are displayed as two-character snoopy characters; for exam-ple, the Escape character is displayed as EC.
Programmed Keys. If the terminal is in Setup mode and you press a key that has a macro programmed into it, the macro is expanded as usual. (See the DEFINE command description later in this section.)
Local Mode. When the lights in both the SET UP and LOCAL keys are on, both Setup and Local modes are set.
Data is echoed locally only, instead of being sent to the host.
ESCAPE SEQUENCE COMMANDS
In this manual, the term setup command refers only to the English-style commands documented in this section. Only those commands that are most useful to a typical operator have English-style setup names. The terminal also responds to escape sequence commands, whether it is in Setup mode or not. These commands include equivalents for all of the English-style setup commands (in a different command format), as well as a large number of other com-mands to control the terminal.
Each escape sequence command begins with the ASCII Escape character EC , followed by a two-character op-code.
The command may include one or more parameters that define the exact action of the command. Appendix C con-tains a list of all escape sequence commands. The 4110 Series Command Reference Manual contains detailed descriptions of all such commands.
SETUP MEMORY
The terminal stores many setup command parameters in setup memory. When the terminal is turned on, it remem-bers these parameters. This saves you the trouble of reset-ting basic operareset-ting parameters each time you turn on the terminal.
The STATUS command will display one, some, or all of the setup command parameters. See the STATUS command description later in this section. (STATUS also works with escape sequence commands.)
Table 6-1 lists all setup commands by functional groups.
Included is the command name, the factory default settings of the parameters set by the command, and a brief descrip-tion of the purpose of the command. A superscript
n
follow-ing a command name indicates that the parameters set by the command are stored in setup memory and remembered when the terminal is turned off and back on again. In the command dictionary portion of this section, the notation (Memory) after the command purpose indicates the same thing.
SETUP COMMAND SUMMARY
Table 6-1 lists and briefly describes all setup commands. It also indicates the factory default parameter values, which commands are part of options to the terminal, and those commands whose parameters are stored in setup memory.
The factory default is shown for each parameter because that is the value the terminal assumes if the setup memory fails or is changed by the addition or deletion of a circuit board.
