You may make a mistake when you enter commands and data. If you need to delete text, you
can use backspace to move the cursor to the error and type over to correct it, or you can press
the delete key repeatedly to back the cursor up to the error location. When you use the delete
method, the system inserts a slash and prints the characters in reverse order from the way they
were entered. When you reach the error location, press the correct character. The system
inserts another slash and you can continue typing the correct string. For example, if you typed
“PRUNT DATE”, pressing delete repeatedly back to the error and then typing the correct
string will display text similar to the following:
Signing On to the Terminal
Once your data terminal is connected to the KE200, or your phone modems are in place, you
can communicate with your system. To guard against unauthorized access, the system requires
a sign-on password before you can enter commands on the system.
To sign on to the terminal, proceed as follows:
1
Turn on the power to your data terminal.
2
If you are using phone modems, dial and establish a connection with the site modem. If you
are using a computer, follow the instructions of your interface program.
3
The system should display “SIGN ON:”. If it does not, press RETURN. “SIGN ON:” will
then appear.
4
Type a 1 to 16-character alphanumeric password and press RETURN. The password is not
displayed as you type it. When the correct password is entered, an asterisk prompt (*) appears
and you can enter commands.
If you are signing on for the first time, the password is “GASBOY”, which needs to be typed
in uppercase.
To change the password, use the “LOad SIgn-on” command.
If you enter the password incorrectly, the system returns to the “SIGN ON:” prompt. Repeat
