Operating the AUATC
Screen Layout
The AUATC produces eight-color video at 800 x 600 resolution, which can accommodate 32 lines of 80
text characters each. A typical ASCII terminal uses 24 lines, so the AUATC uses the eight extra lines to
provide system-status and help information. These eight lines are divided so that four are at the top of the
screen and four are at the bottom.
Figure 64 AUATC screen layout (On-Line Mode)
• In line 1 of the top pane, the AUATC’s firmware version is displayed at the right.
• In line 3 of the top pane, the cursor position and buffer-page number are displayed at the left and the
terminal type and data rate are displayed at the right.
• In line 4 of the top pane, the communication status is displayed. This status can be:
− On Line: The AUATC is communicating with the server and displaying the interactions in its
terminal-screen area
− Help: If you press [Alt] + [F1], the Help screen will appear
− Set Up: If you press [Alt] + [F2] or [Alt] + [F3], the AUATC enters Setup Mode
− Buffer Edit: If you press [Alt] + [F4], the AUATC enters Buffer Edit Mode
• In addition, the access type is shown at the right of line 4 of the top pane. The access type can be LOC
(the local keyboard/monitor user station is active), RMT (a remote Paragon user station is active), or
NO (there is no current user-station activity – the AUATC is idle and will grant keyboard and mouse
control to the first user station that attempts to assert it).
• The four lines in the bottom pane display command keys specific to the current screen.
