Key 3153 Setup Values for RS/6000 Attachment:
- Auto Wrap determines what the cursor does when it reaches the right margin:
- Recommend Auto Wrap=On.
- If Auto Wrap=Off, the cursor will not move to the next row, first column. The 3153 displays a single row of data. - Recv <CR> determines what the cursor does when it receives a <CR> character:
- Recommend Recv <CR>=<CR>
- If Recv <CR>=<CR><LF>, the 3153 will have extra blank lines, rows of data.
- Enter Key (numeric keypad) determines what the Enter does:
- Recommend Enter Key=Return
- If Enter=Send, the Enter Key performs that same function as the Send (key below the right shift).
- Turnaround Character determines what character is used in conjunction with various Function Keys (F1, F3, F12).
- Recommend Turnaround Character=<CR>
- If Turnaround Character=<ETX> or <EOT> or <DC3>, many of the function keys will not work.
