Chapter 6: Mini-Controller Configuration
3274/Telnet
Is Host Fujitsu
If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller expects the data from the host
to contain commands, etc., native to a Fujitsu host. Enabling this parameter causes
the standard IBM formatting codes (for start of field, setting buffers, etc.) to be
replaced by the codes used by Fujitsu host computers.
Use International EBCDIC
If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller uses the International
EBCDIC character set, swapping the positions of the ! and ] characters.
Alarm
When this parameter is enabled, terminals beep when the word “ALARM” appears
on the application screen in the location specified by the Command Region parame-
ter (see page 160). The word “ALARM” should be a display-only field.
Note: The Command Region parameter must be enabled for this
parameter to work.
Clear
If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 mini-controller creates an empty entry field
for an entry field that is filled with spaces.
Some host applications rely on the video attributes of displayed characters to high-
light fields, particularly entry fields. For example, the application screen may define
all entry fields with reverse video and fill the field with spaces. This is effective on
terminals that support reverse video, but on terminals that do not, it can make the
field invisible since it is made up entirely of spaces.
By default, all empty entry fields displayed at the Teklogix terminal are highlighted
by the “entry character” chosen in the terminal’s configuration (not all Teklogix ter-
minals support video attributes).
Note: This operation is only performed on screens received from the host. Data
sent to the host remains unaffected.
Passthru
If this parameter is enabled, the 9150 allows the host to send data directly to the RF
terminal’s serial port. This is most commonly used for printing.
