Setup Menus Terminal ID Factory default: VT340 This specifies what is reported back to the host in response to a terminal identification request. (Note that not all features of the specified terminal may be supported.) The M2200 setting enables TeemTalk to be treated as a Microcolour M2200 series terminal. Selecting VT420 enables the VT420 functions to be supported. Preferred Font Factory default: DEC MCS This enables you to select the type of character sets used for displaying characters. The DEC MCS, ISO Latin-1, ISO Latin-2, ISO Latin-5 and ISO Latin-9 settings enable you to specify the 8-bit character set that is used within VT320 mode when the Multinational Mode option is selected. The DEC MCS and ISO Latin character sets consist of two tables of characters. The first table, ASCII 7-bit, is common to all sets and provides standard alphabetic, numeric and symbolic characters, and control codes. The second (8-bit) table differs between the sets and provides various special and multinational characters and additional control codes. The Alternate setting is used when emulating a Microcolour M2200 terminal to ensure that the correct character sets are used. The ANSI-BBS setting will use the PC (ANSI) character set specified by the ANSI Codepage option. The ANSI-BBS emulation will use this character set by default. ANSI Codepage Factory default: 437 This option specifies the character set used for display when the Preferred Font option is set to ANSI-BBS. The four character set mappings (code pages) supported are 437 for normal usage (default) and 850, 852, 858 or 1250 for multinational usage. Each set consists of two tables of characters. The first table is the standard ASCII character set. The second table contains special characters which differ between the four sets. Refer to the Character Sets appendix in the Programmer's Guide for details. Keyboard Language Factory default: North American This option enables you to specify the nationality of the keyboard being used. It is important that this is correct otherwise the characters displayed may not match the key legends. Unlike the original terminals, the keyboard nationality does not directly affect the keyboard, which is defined instead by the X server configuration. 6-30

Setup Menus
Terminal ID
Factory default: VT340
This specifies what is reported back to the host in response to a terminal identification
request. (Note that not all features of the specified terminal may be supported.) The
M2200
setting enables TeemTalk to be treated as a Microcolour M2200 series termi-
nal. Selecting
VT420
enables the VT420 functions to be supported.
Preferred Font
Factory default: DEC MCS
This enables you to select the type of character sets used for displaying characters.
The
DEC MCS
,
ISO Latin-1
,
ISO Latin-2
,
ISO Latin-5
and
ISO Latin-9
settings
enable you to specify the 8-bit character set that is used within VT320 mode when the
Multinational Mode
option is selected. The DEC MCS and ISO Latin character sets
consist of two tables of characters. The first table, ASCII 7-bit, is common to all sets
and provides standard alphabetic, numeric and symbolic characters, and control codes.
The second (8-bit) table differs between the sets and provides various special and
multinational characters and additional control codes.
The
Alternate
setting is used when emulating a Microcolour M2200 terminal to
ensure that the correct character sets are used.
The
ANSI-BBS
setting will use the PC (ANSI) character set specified by the
ANSI
Codepage
option. The ANSI-BBS emulation will use this character set by default.
ANSI Codepage
Factory default: 437
This option specifies the character set used for display when the
Preferred Font
op-
tion is set to ANSI-BBS.
The four character set mappings (code pages) supported are
437
for normal usage
(default) and
850
,
852
,
858
or
1250
for multinational usage. Each set consists of two
tables of characters. The first table is the standard ASCII character set. The second
table contains special characters which differ between the four sets. Refer to the
Character Sets
appendix in the
Programmer's Guide
for details.
Keyboard Language
Factory default: North American
This option enables you to specify the nationality of the keyboard being used.
It is
important that this is correct otherwise the characters displayed may not match the key
legends. Unlike the original terminals, the keyboard nationality does not directly affect
the keyboard, which is defined instead by the X server configuration.
