Terminal Type Codes

When dialing into DC/UCF, the system prompts the dial-up asynchronous terminal operator to type in the terminal identifier. The terminal identifier is a one-character uppercase terminal type code followed by a one- through seven-character name:

• The terminal type code varies according to device characteristics and PTERM statement parameters
• The name can be chosen arbitrarily

The following table lists the PTERM type, terminal type code, and device characteristics for asynchronous terminals.
