DECserver 100 Terminal Server User's Pocket Guide

This document is the "DECserver 100 Terminal Server User's Pocket Guide," published in January 1985. It serves as a user manual for operating terminals connected to a DECserver 100.

The guide explains how the DECserver 100 provides access to networked computers, allowing users to establish simultaneous connections (sessions) to various services. It defines key concepts such as "local mode" (server interaction) and "service mode" (network computer interaction), along with "sessions" and "services."

It details commands and procedures for:

• Logging into and out of the DECserver 100.
• Establishing, resuming, and ending single or multiple sessions with network services.
• Switching between local and service modes, and among multiple sessions.
• Displaying various types of information about the server, network nodes, services, users, and terminals.
• Utilizing additional facilities such as broadcasting messages, locking terminals, and testing terminal functionality.
• Specifying terminal characteristics, including switch characters for mode/session switching, setting a preferred service, controlling message reception, and matching physical terminal properties (terminal type, character size, flow control, parity, and speed).
• Preparing the terminal for file transfers to and from service nodes.
