Displaying and Customizing Keyboard Maps
18-12 Configuring and Managing 3270 Terminal Emulation (TN3270)
Selecting a Server-Wide Terminal Type and Keyboard Map for a Port
A port user who wants to establish a TN3270 session using a server-wide keyboard
map can do the following:
Note
Port users cannot customize access server-wide keyboard maps. The port users can
customize only the default keyboard maps. See the Customizing a Default Keyboard
Map for a Port section in this chapter.
Step Action
1
Check to see what terminal types (and associated keyboard maps) are
available with the following command:
Local>
SHOW TN3270 TERMINAL
Server: LAT_08002B26D0DE
Terminal Keymap
VT100 VT100
VT220 VT220
VT320 VT220
VT420 VT220
ANSI VT1000
PC_100_DCA NEW_KEYS
PC_220_DCA NEW_KEYS2
2
Choose a keyboard map for one of the terminal types (for example,
NEW_KEYS) and check its associated keymapping:
Local>
SHOW TN3270 KEYMAP NEW_KEYS
3
If the keymapping is what the users require for TN3270 applications,
they set up the port to use the access server-wide terminal type:
Local>
SET PORT TN3270 TERMINAL PC_100_DCA
4
The user can now confirm what terminal type and key assignments
TN3270 sessions will use at the port:
Local>
SHOW PORT TN3270 CHARACTERISTICS
Local>
SHOW PORT TN3270 KEYMAP
The port user has set up the port to use an access server-wide
customized set of keymapping assignments without any added
memory or complexity.
