RS/6000
The default terminal type for AIX on the RS/600 machine is “dumb”.
However, the MCC only supports VT100 emulation, which can cause
display and key problems. Ensure that any user who wishes to log on to
AIX from the MCC has the TERM variable set to VT100 by their login
profile. (Generally, in the file ~/.profile, but this can depend upon the shell
set for that user.)
MVS Console Models/Colors
Three types of color support are provided:
ƒ Monochrome (MONO)
ƒ Base Color (4-color)
ƒ Extended Color (7-color)
Monochrome
Monochrome displays data in ONE basic color (most vendors used green,
Visara recommends blue as easier to view). MCC supports a minimum of
three colors:
ƒ Blue – standard messages
ƒ White – high-intensity messages and WTORs
ƒ Green – the command input area at the bottom of the screen.
Monochrome mode provides a mixture of 3278-3279 features.
Consequently, the MCC’s system.cfg file must be set for model 2, 3, 4, or
5. The CONSOLxx UNIT parameter must be set for -2, -3, -4, or -5
(EBUS). See Table 3 for details.
Base Color
Base color provides four colors, supported with standard 3270 attributes
(high and low intensity mixed with protected and unprotected). For four
color displays (red, white, green, and blue), set up the MCC’s system.cfg
file for model 2 (only), and the CONSOLxx UNIT parameter for 3279-2A
or 3279-3A. There is no four color support for model 4 or model 5
terminals.
