IBM 3153 ASCII Terminal Display - Does not display application correctly

Applicable to: World-Wide

Symptom:
3153 does not display application menus properly.

Background:
The following items will cause the application not to display correctly:
- Emulation selected in 3153 Does Not Match Host Emulation:
- The 3153 supports many ASCII terminal emulations (IBM 3151, DEC VT200, WYSE 50, WYSE 60). If the host operating
system or application is expecting DEC emulation and the 3153 is configured for IBM 3151 emulation, the 3153 will not display the application correctly. IBM 3151, DEC VT200 and WYSE 50 commands are different. The emulation selected in the 3153 must match the host operating system or application program.

3153 Setup Menus:
- Many 3153 setup parameters affect the display of an application: 3153 setup parameters include:
- Auto Wrap, Rows, Columns, Scroll, Page Length, Recev <CR>, Character Set, Code Page.

Persons need to know what the host operating system or application program expects. These setup values must match the host operating system or application. Review the 3153 setup menus for accuracy.

Recommended Solution:
This is a common problem for 3151, 3153 and other ASCII terminals. Persons must need to know host operating system or application program requirements. Persons should contact their systems administrator or application programmer. The Background Information above, may offer some guidance.

If there is a nearby 3151, 3153 that is working correctly, recommend looking at its setup values and compare to the
not working 3153 setup values.
