TA6530 Emulation ANSI The emulation is operating in ANSI mode. BLOCK The emulation is operating in Block mode. CNTRL Display controls mode activated. In this mode, received control codes will be displayed but not actioned. CONV The emulation is operating in Conversational mode. HOLD Hold screen is activated. The emulation stops processing incoming data when the Ctrl + S keys are pressed in ANSI mode. To release the hold state and continue normal processing, press Ctrl + Q. INS Insert mode is activated. In Block mode, keyboard entered characters are inserted at the cursor position without overwriting already existing characters. LOCKED The keyboard has been temporarily locked by the application. NUM Num lock is activated. Num lock is toggled on and off by pressing the keys Alt + Num Lock. PROT Block Protect mode enabled. Refer to the Block Mode section on the next page for details. When the emulation detects an error, the status line will be temporarily replaced by an error line which will display one of the following messages: INVALID LANGUAGE SET REQUESTED You tried to use an invalid national character set. INVALID DATA You tried to enter an invalid character in the current field when in Block protect mode. Operating Modes The Tandem 6530 emulation operates in one of three main modes, Conversational, Block, or ANSI. Conversational and Block modes are normally used for applications running on a NonStop host system, and ANSI mode for applications running on the LXN host system. Conversational Mode In Conversational mode, characters are sent to the host as you type them. This is useful when applications need to interact with you on a character, word or line-byline basis. 20-2
