Terminal Setup Overview

The system administrator needs to define defaults for all terminals, or computers, connected to the host system. These defaults define the interface between the terminal and the system. For example, you can define a port ID for a terminal. The port ID determines how the terminal connects to the host system and identifies the printers to use as its local printers. The printers and terminal are connected to the same port. Terminal settings also affect printer defaults for a particular computer.

Eterm, the terminal emulator, can be installed and used on terminals supported by DOS or workstations running Windows.
