13.3 Getting Into Set-Up (Configuration) Mode
To select options (configure) at the terminal, you must first enter "set-up" mode and then select options (i.e. configure) using menus stored inside the terminal and displayed on the screen. To do this, the terminal does not even need to be connected to a computer. How to get into set-up mode is covered in the terminal's manual, but here's some hints that may help:
If there's a "set-up" key try pressing it. Also try it shifted.
- Wyse: First try the shifted "Select" key; then substitute Ctrl for shifted in all of the above.
- VT, Dorio: F3 may be the set-up key. On VT420 and later models this key may have been programmed to do something else so turn off the power. When you turn on the power again, hit the F3 key as soon as you get an initial screen message.
- IBM: 3151: Ctrl-ScrollLock. 3153: Ctrl-Minus_on_Keypad (or like 3151)
To move around in the set-up menus, try the arrow keys. Use Return, Space, or a special key ("toggle" on old terminals) to select. To exit set-up mode select exit from a menu (or on some older terminals press the set-up key again).
