This chapter describes a category of terminal functions called terminal manager
operations.
• Press ENTER and 7 keys at the same time and enter the password to open the
Verix Terminal Manager (VTM). See Entering Verix Terminal Manager.
• Since files are loaded into specific groups, VTM users can view files, delete
files, and manage configuration variables. See File Groups.
• Use the system and file group passwords to secure applications and
information on the terminal. See Passwords.
• Use the terminal manager menus and submenus to configure terminals;
download and debug applications; perform diagnostics such changing console

deploying, and managing on-site VX 675 terminal installations.
