Terminal
Interface This chapter describes the screen structure and menu controls for the Verilink
PRISM 4051 terminal interface. The interface is an embedded firmware
application program.
It requires an ANSI-compatible VT100 terminal (ASCII), or a computer running
an ANSI terminal emulation program. The terminal interface uses ASCII break
and escape functions, which are implemented differently with the various terminal
emulation programs.
Screen
Components
Terminal interface screens have several components common to all screens
(Figure 4 -1).
