Re: Dumb Terminal Address

On my Praim 5488, I hold the spacebar when starting it, it displays a
character test screen, and I press <shift+esc>, which is labeled <Attn> on
my keyboard. This gets me to the offline setup menu, and there is an option
to change each of the Twinax locations (my terminal supports 4 parallel
sessions). I can also get to a different setup menu with the same key when
starting the terminal normally. Hope that might give you some clues for
your terminal.

Jerry,

Try pressing down the space bar when powering up the terminal. Some
terminals did that to get into config mode. I don't recall if LinkLyte was
one of them, but it's worth a shot.

I have a Lynklyte dumb terminal that emulates a 3197. I need to connect
it to a System i, but (supposedly) its address is '0' and I need to change
it. However, I cannot figure out how to do that. With some dumb
terminals, as I recall, one simply presses the 'Setup' key and that is one
of the options. Or there are dip switches.

The 'Setup' key on this one only has things like Brightness, Ruler style,
etc. No command key to go to the next panel; just F3=End. Nor can I find
any dip switches, and I have turned this puppy every which way but loose.

Neither a Midrange nor a Google search has turned up anything.

Thanks.
