4.1.3.a Term: 
 
The field TERM was added to the Set-up Menu to enable physical 
locations to be identified. All Telnet connections to a host computer are 
assigned a pseudo TTY as the connection is made, thus the same 
terminal is not always the same TTY. We have added the field TERM 
as a means of addressing this issue. 
 
During a Telnet connection the content of the Unix TERM variable is 
sent to the host from the SpotLine M110 terminal as defined in the 
emulation field on the Sessions menu. 
i.e.; 
 

Ansi SCO  

sends ansi 

VT100  

sends vt100 

VT220  

sends vt220 

and so on.... 
 

Adding the field TERM in the Sessions menu allows a method to 
always identify that session in Unix. 
i.e.; 
 

If you are using SCO UNIX and want Session 1 to be known as 
Terminal 15 then you must do two things: 
a) Change the TERM field from DEFAULT to ansi 15 
b) In the Unix host, modify the .profile file for this user as follows; 

set ‘echo $TERM‘ 
TERM=$1 
TNB=$2 
export TERM TNB 

Now any application can read the Unix variable and know this is 
terminal 15 
 

CAUTION: If you modify the .profile file but do not change the field 
no harm is done only the application won’t know the terminal number, 
but if you change the TERM field from DEFAULT to ansi 15 and do 
not modify the .profile file for this user, then Unix will not recognize 
the terminal type.
