For each of the supported Emulation Protocols there is an available set of terminal types available for selection.

 

Terminal types are used in conjunction with the Screen Rows, Screen Columns, Alt Screen Rows and Alt Screen Column settings in order to configure the terminal capabilities and screen size(s).

 

Note that the standard row and column configuration in all cases is generally 24 x 80.  In the terminal descriptions, the alternate row and columns are listed with the terminal type.

 

 

TN3270 Terminal Types

The following terminal types are available for TN3270 emulations.

 

•IBM-3278-2 (24 x 80)  - Most basic terminal type, recommended for all application integration situations where presentation is not needed for extra colour and other characteristics

•IBM-3278-3 (32 x 80)  - Basic, but assumes alternate screen size of 32 rows, 80 columns

•IBM-3278-4 (43 x 80) - Basic, with alternate screen size of 43 rows, 80 columns

•IBM-3278-5 (27 x 132) - Basic, with alternate screen size of 27 rows, 132 columns

•IBM-3278-2 EAttrs (24 x 80) - Supports Extended attributes and COLOUR.  Colour is only needed for pass-through environments that have support in the screen-to-html logic for colour

•IBM-3278-3 EAttrs (32 x 80) - Extended attributes, alternate screen size of 32 rows, 80 columns

•IBM-3278-4 EAttrs (43 x 80) - Extended attributes, alternate screen size of 43 rows, 80 columns

•IBM-3278-5 EAttrs (27 x 132) - Extended attributes, alternate screen size of 27 rows, 132 columns

 

TN5250 Terminal Types

Here are the terminal type for TN5250 connections:

 

•IBM-5251-11 (24 x 80 mono) - Basic 24 by 80 monochrome display

•IBM-5292-2 (24 x 80 colour) - Also straight 24 x 80 but with additional support for colour highlighting.  For the screenscraping environment there is not much difference between the mono and colour terminals, as the same attribute bytes are typically used.

•IBM-3180-2 (27 x 132 mono) - 27 rows, 132 columns for alternate screen size

•IBM-3477-FG (27 x 132 colour) - 27 rows, 132 columns in colour

 

VT100/VT220 Terminal Types

The TNVT terminal types will, in many cases, alter the level of support for more sophisticated features by the host.  For application integration, the VT220 probably offers the best mix of efficient datastreams without introducing additional character formatting which may not be used.

 

•DEC-VT100 / vt100 - Most basic of the VT terminal types with broadest support

•DEC-VT220 / vt220 - Adds highlighting of data as well as more efficient cursor positioning sequences

•DEC-VT320 / vt320 - Builds on the VT220 with additional protocol features

•scoansi / ansi - Based on the SCO Terminal family and is a protocol similar to VT220

•viewpoint / vp90 - ADDS-Viewpoint protocol which is compatible with many applications originally created using the PICK operation systems and derivations

•wy50 / wyse50 / Wyse 50 - Wyse 50 terminal emulation.  Like viewpoint, may be required for compatibility with older applications

•wy60 / wyse60 / Wyse 60 - Wyse 60 terminal emulation.  Some slight differences from Wyse50.
