5250 REMOTE EMULATOR CARD
You can set these options under this menu:
• Monitor Type: Select the type of monitor connected to the PC. The
options are Monochrome
, Color, or Color (IBM). To make a selection,
move the highlighted block to your monitor type. Only select Color
(IBM) if you are using a CGA monitor and snow appears on the screen.
• Emulator Startup: After you start emulation, either a DOS screen or a
host screen will appear. To start emulation with a DOS screen, which
you must do if you’re running emulation under PC Support/38, select
DOS
. From DOS, you can “hotkey” to enter the host session. To start
emulation with a host screen, select 3X Emulation
. From host sessions,
you can hotkey to enter DOS.
• PC Keyboard: Identify which keyboard style is attached to the PC: an
A
T style (84 keys), PC/XT style (83 keys), or Enhanced style (101/102
keys). Move the cursor with the arrow keys and select the keyboard type
you have attached to your personal computer. If you don’t know which
keyboard you have, look at the keyboard templates in Appendix C.
• Emulated Keyboard: Select the keyboard type to emulate. Keyboards
used with a PC
/XT or AT have the same number of keys as the IBM
5250
terminal keyboard; however, they have different key layouts and
scan codes.
For experienced host-system users, the 5250 layout may be more
comfortable. This selection uses the same general layout as a keyboard
used on the host. For PC users, the PC layout may be the best. (See
Appendix D for the keyboard templates.) The normal PC keyboard
layout is restored when DOS is active.
• Key Click: The key click can be turned ON
or OFF. If it is ON, you will
hear a clicking sound each time you press a key.
• File Transfer: Select Y
es to enable the FTP API used by all file transfer
utilities. Select No
to disable the FTP API.
• Virtual Disk: This option defines which disk drive is used by PC
Support/38 as the virtual disk drive. If you’re configuring the Card and
software to run under PC Support/38, select the letter designation of
your diskette drive (normally A:
). If you are not using PC Support/38,
ignore this option.
• Direct Hot Key: With the direct hotkey sequences, [ALT][1] through
[ALT][7], you can jump directly from one session to another rather
than jumping sequentially through the sessions (see Section 7.4). This
