- comp.terminals unofficial FAQ
- 19-DEC-1991 Modifed Q. 2 (Interesting DEC escape sequences)
- Added d) (printer on/off)
- 22-NOV-1991 Added Q. 7 (Concept 108 bps rate)
- 20-NOV-1991 Added Q. 6 (VT125 setups) and changed Q.1 to point to Q.6
- 1-NOV-1991 Added Q. 5 (cursor on and off)
-
- 1) How do I save my VT100 setups? -- see question 6
-
- 2) What are interesting DEC escape sequences?
- a) ESC [ ? 5 h :(white on black) or ESC [ ? 5 l (black on white).
- b) ESC [ ? 6 7 l :to make <=] send DEL; ESC[?67h to make it send BackSpace.
- c) ESC [ ? 2 5 h :Cursor visible; ESC [ ? 2 5 l --- Cursor Invisible
- d) ESC [ <nnn> i :Printer control, possible <nnn> values are
- 0=print screen 5=turn on printer controller 4=turn off..
- ?0=print graphics screen ?5=turn on auto-print ?4=turn off..
-
- 3) What are the DIP switches for an H19 (or Z19)?
- Switch S402
- 0 cursor is 0=underscore 1=block
- 1 keys 0=will 1=wont click
- 2 lines 0=wont 1=will wrap
- 3 Auto LF on CR is 0=off 1=on
- 4 Auto CR on LF is 0=off 1=on
- 5 Terminal mode is 0=Heath/Zenith 1=Ansi
- 6 keypad 0=normal 1=shifted
- 7 refresh 0=60Hz 1=50Hz
- Switch S401
- 0..3 = Data rate, on of N/A 110 150 300 600 1200 1800 2000
- 2400 3600 4800 7200 9600 N/A N/A N/A such that if all
- switches are ZERO except switch 0, terminal is 300 bps
- 4 Parity is 0=off 1=on
- 5 Parity is 0=even 1=odd
- 6 Parity is 0=normal 1=stick
- 7 Duplex is 0=half 1=full

- Q: How can an application set the Backarrow (the key at the north east
- side of the keyboard which is supposed to erase the previous char.
- The icon on it is something like <=] partkey of vt320 to send backspace? DEL?
-
- A: Send ESC[?67l to make <=] send DEL
- Send ESC[?67h to make it send BackSpace.
-
- The following CSH script in unix may turn useful for switching
- between the two modes.
-
- if ($?DEL) then
- stty erase "^?"
- echo "[?67l"
- else
- stty erase ""
- echo "[?67h"
- endif
-
- 5) How do I turn my cursor on and off?
- ESC [ ? 2 5 h --- Cursor visible
- ESC [ ? 2 5 l --- Cursor Invisible
- Many "ANSI" terminal implement this, including all DEC VT100 and
- higher, the Kermit terminal emulator, etc, but not all.
-
- 6) What are the VT1xx setup items?
- Storing SETUP -- go into SETUP-A mode and press 'S'
- Recalling SETUP -- go into SETUP-A mode and press 'R'
- Resetting to factory default -- go into SETUP-A mode and press 'reset'
- Screen brightness -- go into SETUP-A mode and use up/down arrow keys.
-
- SETUP B
- Bank 1
- Scroll is 0=jump 1 =smooth
- Auto repeat 0=off 1=on
- Screen background is 0=dark 1=light
- Cursor is 0=underline 1=block
-
- Bank 2
- Margin Bell is 0=off 1=on
- Key click is 0=off 1=on
- Terminal is a 0=vt52 1=ansi (vt100)
- Auto XON is 0=off 1=on
-
- Bank 3
- Character set is 0=us 1=uk
- Auto wrap is 0=off 1=on
- Line feed/new line is 0=off 1=on
- Interlace is 0=off 1=on
-
- Bank 4
- Parity sense is 0=odd 1=even
- Parity is 0=off 1=on
- There are 0=7 1=8 bits/char
- Power supply is 0=60 1=50 hz
-
- Bank 5
- Reserved = 0
- Aux. Port has 0=7 1=8 bits/char
- Aux port speed is 00=300 01=1200 10=2400 11=9600
- Aux port speed second bit
-
- 7. How do I change the data rate of my Concept 108 terminal??
-
- According to the manual...
- 3.Display the status line by typing the STAT key. If the
- terminal is not in Remote mode (Field g), select Remote mode
- by typing the two keys MULT CODE 9. If the terminal is not in
- Programmer mode (Field h), select Programmer mode by typing
- the two keys MULT CODE U (note - upper case U)
- 4.Select the appropriate duplex setting (Field c). The factory
- default is Half Duplex. If this setting is correct proceed to
- step 5. Change the duplex by one of following [sic] two key
- sequences:
- MULT CODE 8 (Full Duplex)
- MULT CODE * (Half Duplex)
- Hint--the following manufacturers are usually Half Duplex ....
- [list of bankrupt manufacturers omitted]
- 5.Select the appropriate parity setting (Field e). The factory
- default is none (no parity bit is sent). If this is
- correct proceed to step 6. To change the parity, type one of
- the following three key sequences:
- MULT CODE P Space (none)
- MULT CODE P ! (Even)
- MULT CODE P " (Odd)
- MULT CODE P # (Mark)
- MULT CODE P $ (Space)
- 6.Select the appropriate Data Rate setting (field b). The
- factory default setting is 300 bps (bits per second). If this
- setting is correct proceed to step 7. To change the data rate,
- type one of the following three key sequences:
- MULT CODE O Space 50
- MULT CODE O ! 75
- MULT CODE O " 110
- MULT CODE O # 135
- MULT CODE O $ 150
- MULT CODE O % 300
- MULT CODE O & 600
- MULT CODE O ' 1200
- MULT CODE O ( 1800
- MULT CODE O ) 2000
- MULT CODE O * 2400
- MULT CODE O + 3600
- MULT CODE O , 4800
- MULT CODE O - 7200
- MULT CODE O . 9600
- 7.Select the appropriate stop bit setting (Field d). The factory
- default setting is two stop bits. If this is correct proceed
- to step 8. To change the number of stop bits type one of the
- following four key sequences:
- MULT CODE Space < ! (One stop bit)
- MULT CODE Space < " (Two stop bits)
- Stop bits are usually set to two for data rates below 300 bits
- per second; any faster speed uses one stop bit.
- 8.Once you have achieved communications you can store these
- setting permanently in the terminal by typing the three
- character sequence MULT CODE Space C
