If you are planning to install terminals, this book helps you decide which kinds of terminals to use in your installation. If you use a variety of terminals, this book tells you how to gain access to and use VM/SP with these terminals. This book does not include detailed instructions on particular terminals, nor does it describe all terminals that you use with VMjSP. For a list of terminals and consoles that are used with VMjSP, and the books that describe them in detail, see Appendix A. Many kinds of terminals are available to the VM/SP user. Devices that are equivalent to those explicitly supported by VM/SP may also function satisfactorily. However, it is your responsibility to determine the equivalency. IBM cannot assume ( any responsibility for the effect that any changes to IBM-supplied products or programs may have on such terminals or consoles. How This Book Is Organized This book contains six major chapters, and four appendices: Chapter 1: Getting Acquainted with Your Terminal (I This chapter discusses the characteristics of terminals in general. Chapter 2: Using Your Terminal with VM/SP This chapter tells how to use terminals to control VMjSP. Chapter 3: Working Session Examples This chapter gives examples of simple and complex working sessions from signing on to signing off. Chapter 4: Some VM/SP Terminals This chapter discusses the general characteristics of a number of different terminals that are supported by VM/SP. Chapter 5: EBCDIC Devices This chapter discusses the physical characteristics of a number of EBCDIC devices that are supported by VM/SP. Chapter 6: ASCII Devices This chapter discusses the physical char~cteristics of a number of ASCII devices that are supported by VM/SP. c Appendix A: Terminals and Consoles Supported by VM/SP This appendix lists VM/SP-supported terminals and consoles, and their descriptive documentation. Preface iii Appendix B: Summary of Status Action on Display Terminals This appendix contains a table showing the different states, or status, that a display c terminal can be in, and how to change that status. Appendix C: ASCD Translate Tables for Graphic-Hexadecimal Substitution This appendix shows the relationship of hexadecimal codes to graphic characters for some terminal keyboards. Appendix D: Entry Assist This appendix discusses the Entry Assist feature. Entry Assist is a customizable feature available for 3274 control units. c: iv VM/SP Terminal Reference Contents Chapter 1.
