Other literature suggests that there is no cause and effect. Because the safety of our users is a great concern, it is important to take the precautions described in Table 1. If you experience pain or discomfort while using the terminal, take a substantial break and review the instructions for posture and work habits. If your pain or discomfort continues when you resume using the terminal, discontinue use and report the condition to your job supervisor or physician. vi Table 1 Recommendations for Proper Setup and Use ------------------------------------------------------------ Adjust So that your . . . ------------------------------------------------------------ Chair 1 Feet are flat on the floor or footrest, if needed. 2 Legs are vertical forming a right angle to the floor. 3 Weight is off your thighs and are in a horizontal position. Keep the back of your knees away from the seat so you do not compress the area behind them, which could restrict the blood flow. 4 Upper body is erect and your lower back is supported with a backrest. Keyboard 5 Wrists are straight and do not flex more than 15°. They may be supported but should not rest on sharp edges. Table 1 (Cont.) Recommendations for Proper Setup and Use ------------------------------------------------------------ Adjust To . . . ------------------------------------------------------------ 6 Keep your upper arms straight down at your sides, elbows close to your sides to support your arm weight. Forearms should be at a 70° to 90° angle. Head 7 Avoid neck strain. Your head should incline downward, but no more than 15° to 20°. Terminal 8 Keep eye level and the correct distance for proper vision. Eyes 9 Avoid eye fatigue, which can be caused by glare, image quality, uncomfortable furniture, eye height, and uncorrected vision. If you cannot read the screen at different distances, you may need special glasses. Relax your eyes periodically by looking at distant objects. Work Breaks Take periodic work breaks. Morning, lunch, and afternoon breaks meet most recommendations. Take advantage of work breaks to move around and do other movements. Lighting Avoid direct lighting or sunlight on the screen, which causes glare and reflections. The terminal screen has an antiglare treatment to reduce glare. Place lighting behind or to the side of your work area, and distribute the lighting evenly on your work area. Adjust the terminal brightness and the contrast controls as needed. Noise Keep background noise at a minimum. Background noise above 65 dBA is tiring. Sound-absorbing materials, such as curtains, carpeting, and acoustic tile, can help reduce background noise. Temperature 20°C to 23°C (68°F to 74°F) Humidity 30% to 70% Ventilation Provide adequate air ventilation for equipment operation and to avoid fatigue. Space between terminals More than 70 cm (28 in) center to center, preferably more than 152 cm (60 in). ------------------------------------------------------------ viii 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ Installation and Set-Up If desired, install the system box in its stand.

A session is an active connection between the terminal and a host system. See Figure 1-3. The VGB26 supports up to four sessions using virtual terminals. Each virtual terminal maintains the full keyboard and display state of a real physical terminal but shares a single keyboard and display with other virtual terminals. Before you can login using a virtual terminal, it must be connected to a host computer. VGB26 session virtual terminals can be connected directly to a host computer through any of the three serial communication ports on the back of the terminal. Since there are only three comm ports, this method alone can only support three sessions. To use a fourth session or to reduce the number of serial comm lines needed, more than one session must be connected through a single comm port. The VGB26 allows this using a session management protocol, called TD/SMP (Terminal Device/Session Management Protocol). TD/SMP allows two or more sessions to share a single comm line, as long as the other end of the comm line supports the protocol. To enable TD/SMP at the terminal, you simply assign more than one session virtual terminal to the same comm port in Set-Up. TD/SMP is available on most terminal servers or host systems with SSU software. If you are using a terminal server, check with its documentation to determine if it can run TD/SMP. Multiple Sessions 2-1 Multiple Sessions 2.2 Using a Terminal Server with TD/SMP 2.2 Using a Terminal Server with TD/SMP At the Local> prompt, enter the following command: Local> set port multi enable ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Continue with your login procedure. To permanently set a terminal server port to use TD/SMP, type: Local> define port multi enable ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.2.1 Using SSU Host Software If your VGB26 is connected directly to a host computer without a terminal server, you can still use TD/SMP by running the Session Support Utility (SSU) on your host computer. On a system that has SSU software, such as OSF/1 or OpenVMS, enable sessions as follows: $ SSU ENABLE ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Return ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 2.2.2 Opening Another Session Once TD/SMP is enabled, you can open a new session and switch between them as follows: 1. Press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ F4 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ (Session) key on a VT keyboard; or press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Caps Lock ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ kpd on a PC keyboard. 2. To go directly to a particular session, press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Caps Lock ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 1 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 2 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 3 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ or ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ on the numeric keypad. The session number for the current session is displayed at the lower left of the screen. 2-2 Multiple Sessions Multiple Sessions 2.3 Tips for Using Multiple Sessions 2.3 Tips for Using Multiple Sessions · You can display data from two sessions at the same time by dividing the screen into two windows. Press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ F4 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ (Session) or ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Caps Lock ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ kpd to change the window configuration. · When you choose Display . Framed windows, you can assign a 30-character name to each session for the window title bar. The first 12 characters of the session name become the session icon name. If the title is a valid host or service name, a terminal server will try to automatically open a connection to that service. · If you allow a session to be updated from the host, when new data is received that has not been displayed, the session icon at the top of the screen blinks. · To enable two or more sessions to use the same settings, configure either one, then use Copy settings from in the session menu to copy the desired settings to other sessions. · You can control the number of pages of display memory available to each session from Set-Up by using the Pages per session... dialog. The typical terminal has nine pages total. Before you increase pages in one session, you may need to reduce the pages assigned to other sessions. Any data on pages affected will be erased. · If the session context between the terminal and host is lost due to a power failure or other interruption, you can usually restore the previous session context without starting over by pressing ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ F4 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ or ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Caps Lock ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ 0 ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ kpd. · The terminal automatically enables session management when you assign more than one session to a single comm port.

All modifier key combinations are supported. There are two operation states--Latch and Lock. The Latch state affects only the next key pressed. When in the Lock state, all keys pressed are affected by the modifier until you press the same modifier key again or press any other modifier key twice. A small icon indicating the state is displayed on the Keyboard Indicator Line or the Status Line. To enable: Press any modifier key five times. Latch state: Press any modifier key once. Lock state: Press any modifier key twice. To disable: Press and hold a modifier key while you press another key. Review previous lines In Set-Up or through software, you can allocate the pages are assigned to each session, up to a total of nine pages. When Review previous lines is selected, the page memory allocation for a session becomes a single page and a scroll back buffer. You can then use ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ * ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ and ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ + ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ keys to scroll up or down to review lines previously scrolled off the screen. (Note: When this feature is enabled, the host cannot write to specific pages, and control codes from the host are ignored.) 3-6 Desktop Features 4 ------------------------------------------------------------ Defining Keys 4.1 Define Key Editor Overview This terminal provides a powerful Define Key Editor that allows you to modify the function of keys on your keyboard. Since keystrokes can perform many different functions, it will take some practice to understand how the keys work. This section is an introduction to customizing your keyboard. Moving Standard Functions The simplest way to re-program a key is to copy the behavior of another key. The following method allows you to move factory default key functions to any position on the keyboard: 1. From the Keyboard menu item, select the Define key . . . function, and the Define Key Editor menu will appear. 2. Press the key you want to define. 3. Choose Copy of key default and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Enter ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . 4. Press the key you want to copy. 5. Choose the OK or Apply button and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Enter ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . Names are displayed in the Set-Up language selected (not according to the keyboard language). They are truncated to 12 characters in the definition field. The ± symbol indicates a toggle feature. Copying does not affect the function of the key being copied. The terminal always copies the standard function of the chosen key, even if you have redefined that key. You can undo a mistake by copying the default values of a key to itself. Defining Keys 4-1 Defining Keys 4.1 Define Key Editor Function Keys Function keys are used to transmit function key sequences or to perform local terminal functions such as the arrow keys ( *, +, ), (), the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Shift ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ modifier key, or the key that calls up the Set-Up menu (F3). A User Defined Key (UDK) is a special function key. Modifier Keys A modifier key is a key that modifies the behavior of other keys when it is pressed and held down. For example, pressing an alphanumeric key in combination with the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Shift ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ modifier key will normally send the shifted or uppercase characters for that key. Modifier keys are treated as a special kind of local terminal function. The function modifier keys are: ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Shift ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Ctrl ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , and ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Alt ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . Alphanumeric keys can also be modified by pressing ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Group Shift ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ( ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Alt Gr ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ on enhanced PC keyboards) and ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Alt ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Shift ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ (Shift-2). Modifier keys themselves cannot normally be modified by other keys. A key assigned to act as the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Shift ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ modifier, for example, cannot transmit a function sequence when pressed in combination with the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Alt ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key. Defining a key as a modifier key makes all assignable combinations of that key act as a modifier. Example: Changing the < ------------------------------------------------------------ x ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key to delete when unshifted and to backspace when shifted. 4.1.1 Creating a New Function To define a new function key within the Define Key Editor: 1. From the Keyboard menu item, select the Define key . . . function, and the Define Key Editor menu will appear. 2. Press the key you want to define. 3. Choose the Function button and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Enter ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . A screen similar to Figure 4-1 is displayed. 4. Press the modifier key sequence you want to define (unshifted, shifted, control, and so on) and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Enter ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . 5. Choose the desired function from the Select function scroll box and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Enter ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . 4-2 Defining Keys Defining Keys 4.1 Define Key Editor Figure 4-1 Define Key Editor, Select Function 6. Repeat steps 4 and 5 to define other modifier sequences. 7. Choose the OK or Apply button and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Enter ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . Example: Disabling the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Compose ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Break ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ , or ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Set-Up ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key by assigning them to have no function. 4.1.2 Creating a Key Sequence To define a key sequence: 1. From the Keyboard menu item, select the Define key . . . function, and the Define Key Editor menu will appear. 2. Press the key for which you want to define. 3. Choose the UDK button at the upper left and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Enter ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . 4. Choose the modifier sequence you want to define (unshifted, shifted, control, and so on) and press ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ Enter ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ . Defining Keys 4-3 Defining Keys 4.1 Define Key Editor 5. Enter a key sequence, such as a print queue. Example: Print my file 6. Press the ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ + ------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------ key to select where the sequence is to be sent:  Normal To video screen and/or host depending on communica- tion setting (on-line, half-duplex, local).  Terminal only To video screen only.  Host only To central host computer. 7. Choose the OK or Apply button. ------------------------------------------------------------ NOTE ------------------------------------------------------------ Pressing the Set-Up key to exit Set-Up will activate the OK button to keep any changes you have made. If you redefine a key, you can always restore the default key functions from the Actions menu in Set-Up. ------------------------------------------------------------ 4-4 Defining Keys A ------------------------------------------------------------ Maintenance and Troubleshooting A.1 Cleaning your Video Terminal Cleaning the Screen Before cleaning the screen, set the terminal power switch to the off position and wait 20 seconds to let static electricity dissipate.
