+<H1 ID="S1"><SPAN CLASS="chapnum">1</SPAN> Operating Information</H1>
+<H2 ID="S1.1">General</H2>
+<P>This chapter provides an overview of how the VT102 video terminal operates.
+The text describes all controls, indicators, and general operating
+procedures. Detailed operating information depends on the computer and
+its application software.</P>
+<H2 ID="S1.2">Terminal Operation</H2>
+<P>The terminal operates either on-line, off-line, or in SET-UP. You select on-line
+and off-line in SET-UP. <A HREF="chapter3.html">Chapter 3</A> describes SET-UP and provides information
+about selecting on-line and off-line.</P>
+<P>When the ON LINE indicator is on, the terminal can communicate with the
+computer. When on-line, the terminal serves as both an input and output
+device of the computer. <A HREF="figure1-1.html">Figure 1-1</A> shows a general block diagram of the
+terminal while on-line.</P>
+<P>As an input device, the terminal places keyboard-generated characters in
+a keyboard character buffer. The characters are then taken from the buffer
+and transmitted to the computer.</P>
+<P>As an output device, the terminal places received characters in the input
+character buffer for processing. When processing, the terminal removes
+the received characters from the buffer and either displays or prints them.</P>
+<P>When the OFF LINE indicator is on, the terminal cannot communicate with
+the computer. Characters typed on the keyboard appear on the screen.
+<A HREF="figure1-2.html">Figure 1-2</A> shows a general block diagram of the terminal while off-line.</P>
+<P>An optional serial printer connects to the terminal's printer interface.
+Therefore, you can produce printed copy without a separate communication
+line and interface to the computer. The printer can print when the
+terminal is on- or off-line.</P>
+<H2 ID="S1.3">Controls and Indicators</H2>
+<P>The terminal has five groups of controls and indicators: monitor controls,
+communication switches, keyboard controls, visual indicators, and audible
+indicators.</P>
+<H3 ID="S1.3.1">Monitor Controls</H3>
+<P>The terminal has two controls on the monitor backpanel, the voltage selection
+switch and the power switch (<A HREF="figure1-3.html">Figure 1-3</A>). The following paragraphs
+describe these monitor controls.</P>
+<H4 ID="S1.3.1.1">Voltage Selection Switch</H4>
+<P>This switch allows the terminal to operate
+with available ac input voltage range. If you change the switch position,
+you must also change the fuse. The switch position and fuse are selected
+when the terminal is installed. See <A HREF="chapter7.html">Chapter 7</A> for more information about
+installing the terminal.</P>
+<P CLASS="note">CAUTION: You may damage the terminal if you set the voltage selection
+switch to the wrong position and use the wrong fuse.</P>
+<H4 ID="S1.3.1.2">Power Switch</H4>
+<P>This switch controls ac power to the terminal. When ac
+power is on, either the ON LINE or OFF LINE indicator is on. See <A HREF="#S1.3.4">Keyboard
+Indicators</A> in this chapter for more information.</P>
+<P>Turn the terminal on (power up) by using the following procedure.</P>
+<OL>
+<LI>Turn the power switch to the on (1) position (<A HREF="figure1-3.html">Figure 1-3</A>). The terminal
+automatically runs a power-up self-test to verify terminal operation.
+The test provides the following indications:
+<UL>
+<LI>All indicators come on and go off; either the ON LINE or OFF LINE
+indicator stays on.
+<P CLASS="note">NOTE: The on or off state of other indicators depends on the
+communication signals received and terminal features selected.</P></LI>
+<LI>A bell tone sounds.</LI>
+<LI>The cursor appears in the upper-left corner of the screen.</LI>
+</UL>
+<P>If the test finds an error, the terminal provides one of the following
+indications.</P>
+<UL>
+<LI>Does not perform the above sequence</LI>
+<LI>Displays character(s) on the screen</LI>
+<LI>Sounds several bell tones</LI>
+</UL></LI>
+</OL>
+<P>See <A HREF="chapter9.html">Chapter 9</A> if the terminal does not power up correctly.</P>
+<H3 ID="S1.3.2">Internal Communication Switches</H3>
+<P>The terminal has two types of internal switches, communication switches
+and 20 mA current loop option switches. The following paragraphs describe
+these switches.</P>
+<H4 ID="S1.3.2.1">Communication Switches</H4>
+<P>These ten switches select the communication
+lines used by the modem connector. The switches are set during
+installation. See <A HREF="chapter7.html">Chapter 7</A> for the selection procedure.</P>
+<H4 ID="S1.3.2.2">20 mA Current Loop Option Switches</H4>
+<P>The 20 mA current loop option
+(VT1XX-CA) has two switches that select active or normal (passive) operation
+for the transmitter and receiver. See <A HREF="chapter8.html">Chapter 8</A> for more information
+about the 20 mA current loop option.</P>
+<H3 ID="S1.3.3">Keyboard Controls</H3>
+<P>The terminal keyboard has a main keyboard and numeric keypad (<A HREF="figure1-4.html">Figure
+1-4</A>). The main keyboard looks and operates like a standard typewriter.
+The numeric keypad allows rapid entry of numeric data or function characters
+(used with some application software). The keys are divided into
+four groups: standard keys, function keys, printing keys, and SET-UP
+keys.</P>
+<H4 ID="S1.3.3.1">Standard Keys</H4>
+<P><A HREF="figure1-5.html">Figure 1-5</A> identifies the standard typewriter and calculator
+keys. The computer can select the numeric keypad to generate the
+same characters as the main keyboard. The minus, comma, period, and
+numeric keys on the keypad operate like the corresponding unshifted
+keys on the keyboard.</P>
+<P><SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN> and <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN> modify standard key characters. They do not
+modify numeric keypad characters. The following paragraphs describe <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN> and <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN>. <A HREF="chapter4.html">Chapter 4</A> describes all the characters generated
+by the standard keys.</P>
+<P><IMG SRC="keys/br/shift1.png" ALT="" HEIGHT="40" WIDTH="94"> <STRONG>SHIFT</STRONG><BR>
+When you hold down <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN>, the standard keys on the main keyboard generate
+uppercase characters. You can also use <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN> with the function,
+printing, and SET-UP keys. See the following paragraphs in this chapter
+for more information.</P>
+<P><IMG SRC="keys/br/capslock.png" ALT="" HEIGHT="40" WIDTH="72"> <STRONG>CAPS LOCK</STRONG><BR>
+This is a two-position locking key. If you lock down <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN>, the alphabetic
+keys generate uppercase characters. If you release <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS
+LOCK</SPAN>, the alphabetic keys generate lowercase characters. <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN>
+does not affect the function and numeric keypad keys.</P>
+<P CLASS="note">NOTE: <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN> does not affect the numeric and special symbol
+keys. Therefore, <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CAPS LOCK</SPAN> does not operate like the <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT LOCK</SPAN> of a
+typewriter.</P>
+<H4 ID="S1.3.3.2">Function Keys</H4>
+<P><A HREF="figure1-6.html">Figure 1-6</A> identifies the function keys. The computer
+can also select the numeric keypad to generate function characters. The
+application software or communication system define the use of function
+keys. <A HREF="chapter4.html">Chapter 4</A> describes all the characters generated by the function
+keys. The following paragraphs provide a general description of each
+function key.</P>
+<P><IMG SRC="keys/br/noscroll.png" ALT="" HEIGHT="40" WIDTH="40"> <STRONG>NO SCROLL</STRONG><BR>
+This key controls scrolling on the screen. Scrolling is the upward or downward
+movement of existing lines on the screen to allow new lines to appear.
+When you first press this key, scrolling stops and new characters
+cannot appear. When pressed again, scrolling continues and new characters
+can appear.</P>
+<P CLASS="note">NOTE: <SPAN CLASS="keyname">NO SCROLL</SPAN> operates only in full-duplex communication with the
+auto XON/XOFF SET-UP feature on. This key does not operate with the
+auto XON/XOFF feature off or with half-duplex communication.</P>
+<P><IMG SRC="keys/br/breakhereis.png" ALT="" HEIGHT="40" WIDTH="40"> <STRONG>BREAK/HERE IS</STRONG><BR>
+This key generates a break when the break enable SET-UP feature is on.
+See <A HREF="chapter3.html">Chapter 3</A> for more information about SET-UP features and <A HREF="chapter6.html">Chapter 6</A>
+for more information about break.</P>
+<P>When you hold down <SPAN CLASS="keyname">SHIFT</SPAN>, <SPAN CLASS="keyname">BREAK</SPAN> generates a long break disconnect.
+With some modems, a long break disconnect causes a communication
+(phone) line disconnect. See <A HREF="chapter6.html#S6.2.3">Break</A> in <A HREF="chapter6.html">Chapter 6</A> for more information
+about long break disconnects.</P>
+<P>When you hold down <SPAN CLASS="keyname">CTRL</SPAN>, <SPAN CLASS="keyname">HERE IS</SPAN> transmits the answerback message.
+The answerback message identifies the terminal to the computer. You enter
+the answerback message in SET-UP. See <A HREF="chapter3.html">Chapter 3</A> for more information
+about the answerback SET-UP feature.</P>
+<P><IMG SRC="keys/br/arrows.png" ALT="[Up] [Down] [Left] [Right]" HEIGHT="40" WIDTH="172"> <STRONG>Cursor Control Keys</STRONG><BR>
+These keys are defined by the application software. However, they usually
+generate cursor control commands. The cursor is a screen indicator
+showing the line and column where the next character will appear.</P>
