Terminal Type Maintenance |
Last Revised: 05/23/14 |
This program is used to configure characteristics of terminals, PCs, etc.
Although today most Dynamo operators use either a PC running FacetWin, or an Axel terminal, Dynamo is still used with Wyse 60/160 terminals, and IBM 3151/3153 terminals. Some older terminals are also supported.
The Terminal Type Maintenance Screen
Wyse 30
This terminal has only 4 physical function keys labeled F1 through F4. However, by holding the Ctrl key down, these same keys are F5 through F8. Likewise, holding the Shift and Ctrl keys down represent shifted F5 through F8.

Wyse 50
The most popular keyboard used on a Wyse 50 includes 16 function keys, a numeric keypad, and a few editing keys located above the keypad and to the right of the alpha keys. All 16 function keys are supported. The editing keys are listed below with the related function.
| wYSE 50 | |
|---|---|
| Del | Same as Delete on standard keyboard, also acts as Delete when shifted |
| Send/Print | Key disabled |
| PAGE Next/Prev | Same as PageUp and PageDn on a standard keyboard. Shift for PageUp |
| Home | Same as Home on standard keyboard. Shifted function is same as End |
| ArrowLf | Unfortunately, on the Wyse 50 backspace and arrow left keys send the same sequence to the computer. Thus we cannot detect the difference. So the backspace and ArrowLf keys will cause a destructive backspace, i.e., deletes the current character, then moves left. To move left without deletion, you must use Ctrl+V. |
| INS Char/Line | Key disabled |
| DEL Char/Line | Key disabled |
| CLR Line/Scrn | Key disabled |
| Ins/Repl | In unshifted mode this key acts like Insert which toggles between Insert and Replace (Typeover) modes The shifted key is disabled |
| To turn the keyclick on/off on a Wyse 50 press Ctrl+Enter. | |
