46 CHAPTER 4: USER INTERFACE CONFIGURATION
n
The system supports two types of terminal display: ANSI and VT100. If the
terminal display of the device and the client (for example, hyper terminal or Telnet
terminal) is inconsistent or is set to ANSI, and if the total number of the characters
of the currently using command line exceeds 80, anomalies such as cursor
corruption or abnormal display of the terminal display may occur on the client.
Therefore, you are recommended to set the display type of both the device and
the client to VT100.
