Why Use Workstation Configurator?

Users sometimes need to alter the terminal or printer type file when communication is initiated because the port was configured into the input/output system with a terminal or printer type file that is not suited to their use. Often, this is true for dial-up modem ports, where many different terminals share a single port, but at different times.

Workstation Configurator lets you modify the characteristics of a terminal or printer port. Multiple files can exist that define different characteristics for one port. The HP 3000 system enables terminal operators to temporarily alter the terminal or printer type for a port in order to change a terminal port's characteristics.

	WARNING! Users of Workstation Configurator can create terminal or printer type files without restrictions. Proper and efficient operation of devices using a user-created terminal or printer type file is the responsibility of the user. For example, a terminal type file that specifies no flow control mechanism will create data overruns on the device.
