Management Menus

Omega can also take advantage of selected special control (escape)

sequences that the terminal may use for screen control. Table 3 lists these

special sequences.

Any changes to the conﬁgured terminal characteristics, terminal type, and

half/full duplex, take effect immediately. For example, changing from half

duplex to full duplex causes the management agent to begin echoing your

input immediately. The software saves all changes and retains them

during a power failure.

Any changes to serial interface options (data bits, stop bits, parity, data

rate) are saved but do not take effect until the next management agent

session; i.e., you must select Quit from the main menu and then press

Return to begin a new session. When you are connected to the

management agent through a virtual circuit connection over the network,

these serial interface options have no effect; however, they will affect any

later session with a directly connected terminal.

ANSI or DEC VT-100 Terminal. The ANSI option auto conﬁgures the

management agent for the characteristics of an ANSI-standard terminal

(essentially the same as a DEC VT-100 or similar). If you want the control

codes in Table 2 and Table 3, select this terminal conﬁguration option.

Generic or “Dumb” Terminal. The Generic terminal option, the

default, conﬁgures the management agent for the simplest possible

terminal type. The control codes available to you are those in Table 2 only.

In this conﬁguration, the management agent makes very few assumptions

about the terminal’s capabilities and is compatible with almost all

terminal types.
