You can program a message of up to 20 characters to identify the terminal to the computer. Enter the
message at the cursor position. Correct errors by pressing to delete characters or to clear
the message.
CONCEAL hides the answerback message, so it is not displayed in SETUP mode.
To save the message in nonvolatile memory, exit SETUP mode with the YES option.
This menu allows the terminal setup for Ethernet communication. Use of Ethernet communications provides
the additional ability to open multiple sessions (applications) on one or more hosts/servers at the same time.
Support of these extended features requires the creation of special files at the host computer(s) by the MIX
manager for your system. The settings selected by the MIX at the host(s) must also be entered in this menu for
proper communications.
Note: The Ethernet option in the F4 setup menu must be set to ON for the terminal to work in an Ethernet
environment.
Ethernet Node
ID Displays the serial number of the hardware Ethernet Interface device. This is a default value
of the manufacturer of the hardware device and should not be changed.
Local IP
Address
The IP address assigned to this terminal by the MIS manager. Each terminal must have a
unique IP address. The address is used to allow the host to identify messages from this
terminal and to allow the terminal to filter out return messages from the common Ethernet
cable. An example of this address is 192.168.123.211.
Netmask
The value generated by the system based on the IP address. The system administrator
would have this information. An example is 255.255.255.0
Remote IP
0…B Address
For any remote host, or devices, that the terminal will communicate with for a specific
session. These twelve remote IP addresses should all be identical if all communications
will be with only one host. If Multisession ON in the F4 menu has been selected, and here
is more than one host on your system, you must specify which host each session will
communicate with. To communicate with a different host for a future session, these
settings be changed.
Note: The multisession option allows 4 separate sessions. If any emulation other than
ECON-80 is selected. If ECON-80 emulation is selected, the Multisession option allows up to
7 separate sessions.
Gateway
This IP address is used to communicate with other networks. If a gateway is not being used
this option should be blank.
Term Type
Allows definition of the terminal with up to 40 characters. If Term is empty the default type
is sent to the host by the system.
