ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 1. Help for ANSI Video Definitions ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
These options let you set default values which affect the appearance and
behavior of the display.
For more information, select:
Cursor Type
Image Size
Auto-line Wrap
Page Mode
CR after LF
LF after CR
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Cursor Type ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The cursor displayed during online terminal emulation may be Underline, Partial
Block, Half Block Top, Half Block Bottom, Centerline, or Full Block.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Image Size ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select 24 rows x 80 columns to initialize the emulation in 80-column mode.
Select 24 rows x 132 columns to initialize the emulation in 132-column mode.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Auto-line Wrap ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Note: This parameter also is known as Automatic New Line.
When enabled, this option specifies that the cursor should automatically move
to the first character position in the next line when data is entered in the
last position on the current line. If the current line is the last line on the
screen and scrolling is enabled, the screen will scroll.
If this option is disabled, the cursor will stick at the last position of the
current line. Additional data entered or received will overwrite the display
position until a cursor movement command, such as a carriage return, is
processed.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Page Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option sets the scrolling mode of the terminal. When Page Mode is
enabled, scrolling is disabled and functions which normally cause scrolling
will cause a wraparound to the top row.
When Page Mode is disabled, scrolling is enabled and the cursor will continue
to scroll down one line at a time, each time the cursor is sent past the column
limit on the last line of the displayed screen area.
Note: Page Mode is dependent on the Auto-line Wrap option being enabled.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> CR after LF ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is enabled, Softerm automatically performs a carriage return
function (cursor to first display position) in addition to a linefeed function
(cursor down one line) whenever a linefeed character (0A hex) is received. If
this option is disabled, no additional processing is performed for linefeed
characters.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> LF after CR ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If this option is enabled, Softerm automatically performs a linefeed function
(cursor down one line) in addition to a carriage return function (cursor to
first display position) whenever a carriage return character (0D hex) is
received. If this option is disabled, no additional processing is performed
for carriage return characters.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 2. Help for ANSI Operating Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Operating Mode determines whether the emulation can display only the
standard 128 ASCII character codes or the entire 256-character set.
Note: The Communications Parameters must be set for 8 data bits and no parity
for 8-bit mode to be fully operational.
For additional information, select:
Operating Mode
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Operating Mode ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Select either 7-Bit or 8-Bit for the operating mode of the emulation.
If 7-Bit operating mode is selected, the characters displayed are limited to
the standard 128 ASCII character codes.
If 8-Bit operating mode is selected, the characters displayed can include the
entire 256-character set of the personal computer including graphics
characters.
Note: The Communications Parameters must be set for 8 data bits and no parity
for 8-bit mode to be fully operational.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 3. Help for ANSI Status Line Definition ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Determine the default setting for whether or not an information status line
will be displayed when in the Session Window (online terminal emulation).
If a status line is to be displayed, determine the default setting for the date
and time format to be used; and determine whether the ANSI 3.64 Status Line or
the standard Softerm Status Line will be displayed.
For additional information, select:
Status Line Preference
Status Line Time Format
Status Line Display
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Status Line Preference ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
If the ANSI 3.64 Status Line is selected, the status information displayed will
include cursor position; host-initiated modes; host messages; edit area; and
keyboard lock status.
The standard Softerm Status Line displays some or all of the following:
o Online or Local mode
o Connect status
o Duplex setting
o Capture status
o CapsLock state
o NumLock state
o Date and Time or Connect Time
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Status Line Time Format ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
Date/Time
Choose this setting for the status line to display the current date and
time.
Connect Time
Choose this setting for the status line to display the length of time the
connection has been established.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Status Line Display ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
On The status line will be displayed when you are in the Session Window
(online terminal emulation mode).
Off The status line will not be displayed when you are in the Session
Window (online terminal emulation mode).
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ 4. Help for ANSI Device Settings ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
The Device Settings let you specify how Softerm is to identify itself when
queried.
For additional information, select:
Terminal Device Attribute Code
Printer Device Attribute Code
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Terminal Device Attribute Code ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option lets you specify Device Attributes by which your Terminal may be
identified. To use this, you must enter a numeric value as defined by the ANSI
standard. Softerm then will send the following string in reply to a device
attribute function:
ESC nn c
where nn = the numeric value that you entered.
ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ <hidden> Printer Device Attribute Code ΓòÉΓòÉΓòÉ
This option lets you specify Device Attributes by which your Printer may be
identified. To use this, you must enter a numeric value as defined by the ANSI
standard. Softerm then will send the following string in reply to a device
attribute function:
ESC nn c
where nn = the numeric value that you entered.
