Title

VT420 F1-F5 Keys

Product

PASSPORT PC to Host, PASSPORT Web to Host

Emulation Types

VT

Issue

Does PASSPORT provide support for function keys F1 through F5, which are available in VT420 emulation?

Solution

The F1-F5 host keys will send the appropriate escape sequence to the VT host. By default, only F2 is mapped to Print Screen and F5 is mapped to VT420 BREAK. The other Fx keys have to be mapped in order for the appropriate escape sequence to be sent to the VT host.

• Feature added in PASSPORT PC to Host version 2004-930 and PASSPORT Web to Host version 2004-227
