The AUATC produces eight-color video at 800 x 600 resolution, which can accommodate 32 lines of 80 
text characters each. A typical ASCII terminal uses 24 lines, so the AUATC uses the eight extra lines to 
provide system-status and help information. These eight lines are divided so that four are at the top of the 
screen and four are at the bottom. 

 

• 

In line 1 of the top pane, the AUATC’s firmware version is displayed at the right. 

• 

In line 3 of the top pane, the cursor position and buffer-page number are displayed at the left and the 
terminal type and data rate are displayed at the right. 

• 

In line 4 of the top pane, the communication status is displayed. This status can be: 

− 

On Line: The AUATC is communicating with the server and displaying the interactions in its 
terminal-screen area 

− 

Help: If you press [Alt] + [F1], the Help screen will appear  

− 

Set Up: If you press [Alt] + [F2] or [Alt] + [F3], the AUATC enters Setup Mode 

− 

Buffer Edit: If you press [Alt] + [F4], the AUATC enters Buffer Edit Mode 

• 

In addition, the access type is shown at the right of line 4 of the top pane. The access type can be LOC 
(the local keyboard/monitor user station is active), RMT (a remote Paragon user station is active), or 
NO (there is no current user-station activity – the AUATC is idle and will grant keyboard and mouse 
control to the first user station that attempts to assert it). 

• 

The four lines in the bottom pane display command keys specific to the current screen.
