Network Virtual Terminal Mode Network Virtual Terminal (NVT) mode allows the operator to communicate with a network gateway (in ASCII) for routing, logon, etc., before the full IBM terminal emulation protocol is established. NVT mode is indicated by the absence of the symbol in the status line along the bottom of the window. NVT mode displays an unformatted screen for data entry, allowing basic keyboard functionality as a simple ASCII terminal. In addition to data keys, other recognized keys are: Clear Enter Newline Backspace Tab clears the screen sends a CR to the host sends a CR to the host sends a BS to the host sends an HT to the host Once the appropriate details have been entered to establish an IBM host session (which may be automatic), the screen is cleared and switched into full IBM 5250 terminal emulation mode, as indicated by the symbol in the status line. The Status Line The last line in the window is used to display status information in the form of symbols and alphanumeric characters. A colored line separates status information from the rest of the display. Information displays in any of six regions within the status line as listed below.
