Extended Color
Extended Color provides seven colors, supported with an Extended Data
Stream by Extended Attribute Bytes. The colors available are red, white,
green, blue, yellow, pink, and turquoise. MCC supports seven color
“extended data streams.” If you require seven color support, set up the
MCC’s system.cfg file for model 2 or 3, and the CONSOLxx UNIT
parameter for 3279-2B or -3B. There is no seven color support for model 4
or model 5 terminals.

Table 3 Color Support Options
Note that the “suggested” CONSOLxx entry in the preceding tables can
always be replaced with 3270-X
8 . However, this results in the most color
possible, based on the EMULATION= operand. Setting 3270-X in the
CONSOLxx member for any attached EBUS console will result in 7-
colors, regardless of the EMULATION= operand setting.
8 The Control Unit (i.e. 3174) must support Read Partition Query. In addition, if you plan to substitute a
REAL terminal/device (for testing) in addition to plugging into the SCON, the terminal/device must
support Read Partition Query. The SCON has this support built in.
