IBM 3153 ASCII Terminal Display - Enter key not working
Applicable to: World-Wide
Symptom:
3153 Enter Key is not working.
Background Information:
When the 3153 is configured for IBM 3151 emulation, the user or the host can determine the operation of the Enter Key
(numeric keypad).
The 3153 Enter Key is the bottom right key on the numeric keypad and is labeled 'Enter'. Note: The key above the right shift key is the 'Return Key'.
IBM 3151 emulation supports:
- Enter Key = Return (3153 factory default setting)
- Enter Key = Send
Enter Key = Return:
Every time the Enter Key is pressed the 3153 performs Return Key operation. Note: The Return Key can be set to New Line or Field.
Enter Key = Send:
Every time the Enter Key is pressed the 3153 performs Send Key operation. Note: The Send Key can be set to Page or Line.
The Enter Key can be selected by the:
- User by entering 3153 setup menu, and selecting 'F5 Keys' setup menu.
- Host Application by using the IBM 3151 Set/Read Control 2 Command. Refer to IBM 3153 or IBM 3151 Programmers Reference Manual.
Recommended Solution:
If the Enter Key (numeric keypad) is not working, using the 3153 setup menus change the 'Enter Key' setup parameter from 'Send' to 'Return'; or 'Return' to 'Send'.
If the Enter Key (above the right shift, which is the Return Key) is not working, using the 3153 setup menus change the 'Return Key' from 'Field' to 'New Line'; or 'New Line' to 'Field'.
Notes:
For 3153 attachment to RS/6000, the preferred 3153 setup value for 'Enter Key' = 'Return' and 'Return Key' = 'New Line'. For 3153 attachment to AS/400, the preferred 3153 setup value for 'Enter Key' = 'Send' and 'Return Key' = 'New Line'
