alphanumeric characters.
Operating Mode & Communication

Architecture (SNA).
Indicates that the current screen is a Network Virtual Terminal screen. This screen is displayed
when IBM 3270 mode is entered before a telnet session has been initiated with the remote host. It

Indicates that the current screen is an IBM 3270 screen. This screen will be displayed when
you have initiated a Telnet session with the host.
Indicates that you are currently communicating with the host operating system, not the
application.
Do Not Enter
A cross symbol will appear when input from the keyboard or mouse will not be accepted by the host
(except Reset and SysReq). Symbols to the right of this will indicate the reason. Pressing the Reset
key will remove some of these symbols from the status line.
Note that the emulation includes typeahead capability so that in most cases you can continue to enter
data without waiting for the Do Not Enter message to clear as the data will be stored until the host is
ready.
Indicates that a programming error in the data from the host has been detected,
possibly due to incompatible application software. Press the Reset or SysReq key to remove this
indicator and unlock the keyboard.
