VMS Help  —  TCPIP Services, TELNET  TN3270  Terminal Setup
    When you use TELNET and specify IBM 3270 model terminal emulation
    (TN3270), the image displayed on your screen depends on the
    type of terminal you use (or that your PC is emulating) and the
    features you set on it.

    o  VT200 Series Terminals

       To set up a VT200-Series terminal for emulation, follow these
       steps:

       1. At the Set-up Directory menu, select the keyboard type
          that corresponds to the keyboard layout you are using (for
          example, North American).

       2. At the Display Set-up menu, select the following:

          o  Interpret controls

          o  Light text, dark screen

          o  Cursor (visible)

       3. At the General Set-up menu, select the following:

          o  VT200 or VT100 mode (if VT100 mode, set VT100 ID)

          o  7-bit or 8-bit controls

          o  Multinational/national

          o  Normal cursor keys

          o  No new line

       4. At the Communications Set-up menu, select the following:

          o  XOFF at 64 or XOFF at 128

          o  8-bit communication line

          o  8-bit (any) parity

          o  No local echo

       5. At the Keyboard Set-up menu, select warning bell ON.

       At the DCL prompt, enter the following command:

        $  SET TERMINAL /INQUIRE

       The software determines the terminal's characteristics and
       sets the appropriate parameters.

       If you select National character mode, enter the following
       command:

       $ SET TERMINAL /NOEIGHTBIT

    o  VT100 Series

       To set up a VT100-Series terminal for emulation, follow these
       steps:

       1. Set your terminal to ANSI mode (see the user's guide for
          your terminal).

       2. Enter the following command at the DCL prompt:

          $  SET TERMINAL/INQUIRE

          This command causes the terminal to be questioned about
          its characteristics. The appropriate parameters for the
          terminal are set up according to its response.

       TN3270 requires terminal windows that support at least 24
       lines and 80 columns.
