User's Manual

This specifies the particular VT Series terminal to emulate. Select from the following:
◦
AIXTerm
Provides compatibility with software designed to drive an X terminal using X Windows.
◦
Ansi BBS
This emulation is a derivative of the ANSI device driver ANSI.SYS supplied with all DOS
based PCs and which provides the screen management for the DOS console screen. PC
based UNIX systems and Bulletin Board Systems (BBS) often rely on the ANSI emulation when
being accessed by a PC. In ANSI BBS mode the screen size is adjusted to 25 lines and the
preferred character set is set to ANSI.
◦
AT 386
Provides compatibility with software designed to drive the AT&T AT 386 terminal.
◦
ATT4410
Provides compatibility with software designed to drive the AT&T Dataspeed 4410 terminal.
Refer to the section
AT&T 4410 Emulation on page 82 for details.
◦
Sco Console
This is an emulation of the SCO UNIX box.
◦
VT PCTerm
Provides compatibility with software designed for the PC Term mode supported by DEC.
◦
VT52 and VT100
These emulations enable you to run applications written for the DEC VT52 and VT100
terminals, respectively.
◦
VT100+
This emulation is an enhanced version of the VT100 emulation that provides additional
functionality such as colours. It is the same as the VT-UTF8 emulation except that it only
supports ASCII characters 0-127 (decimal).
◦
VT+HP220
This emulation is based on the VT500 terminal series and includes the HP function keys F1 -
F8 (not user programmable). The terminal ID is set to VT220.
◦
VT510 7-Bit and VT510 8-Bit
These emulations enable you to run applications written for the DEC VT320 terminal, the
difference is in their treatment of 8-bit control codes. When VT510 7-Bit is selected, all 8-
bit codes are converted to their 7-bit equivalents, whereas VT510 8- Bit leaves 8-bit codes
unchanged. If you are using VT200 applications, select VT510 7-Bit.
◦
VT-UTF8
This emulation is an enhanced version of the VT100 emulation that supports non-English and
drawing characters. It supports localization of the single-byte and double-byte character sets
