CHAPTER 2. DEFINITY ADMINISTRATION TERMINALS
Overview
The terminal used to administer a DEFINITY Communications System is identified in this docu-
ment as the system administration terminal or the terminal.
The terminal supplied with the system must be located within 50 feet of the system cabinet. The
terminal consists of a video display 
and a keyboard that allow a System Manager to communi-
cate with the system. After initialization, the terminal is used to reconfigure translations and to
monitor system performance. The terminal can also be used by maintenance personnel.
The system can be equipped with any of the following terminals:

refer to DEFINITY® Communications
System Generic 3 Management Applications—Operations, 565-229-202, for terminal operating
instructions and system management procedures. No operating instructions are given in this
document.
The operating instructions in this document cover the 715, 513, 4410, and 4425 terminal types.
The operating instructions for the 610 BCT or 615 MT terminal are the same as for the 513 BCT if
the 610 or 615 MT terminal is supplied with the 513 emulation cartridge or as for the 4410 if the
513 emulation cartridge is not supplied with the 610 BCT or 615 MT terminal. The instructions
describe how the terminal keys can be used, for example, to enter, cancel, display, and change
system translations. Instructions on how to use the function keys are also provided.
The terminal key instructions are provided in Table 2-A.

							CHAPTER 2. DEFINITY ADMINISTRATION TERMINALS
715 MT Terminal
The 715 MT terminal emulates the AT&T 615 MT Terminal/System 75 Cartridge combination
(513 emulation) when operated in the “BCS” operating mode. The terminal operating mode is set
by selecting the Emulation option of the User Preferences submenu or via an escape
sequence.
Keyboard Overview
The 715 keyboard is equipped with special keys that allow the user to make corrections and do
editing functions. Various function keys perform specific functions. Figure 2-1 shows a layout of
the 715 keyboard.
See Table 2-A for a list of the cursor keys, function keys, and programmable keys and a brief
description.
The keyboard’s top row includes 14 function keys that provide access to the modules and
features of the terminal. They are used as terminal function keys, as screen-labeled keys, or as
function keys. For more information on using or programming the 715’s function keys, see the
AT&T 715 MT Terminal Users Guide and Service Manual, 999-300-760.

							CHAPTER 2. DEFINITY ADMINISTRATION TERMINALS
513 BCT Keyboard
The 513 BCT keyboard is equipped with special cursor keys that allow the user to make correc-
tions and perform editing functions. Function keys that allow single keystrokes to do specific
functions are also provided. Each type of key used on the 513 BCT is described in the following
paragraphs.
See Table 2-A for a list of the cursor keys, function keys, and programmable keys and a brief
description.
Cursor Keys
The cursor keys allow the user to move the cursor between fields and pages on a screen form.
The cursor must be positioned on a field before the user can change information in that field.
The backspace key is used to correct typing mistakes by backspacing and overstriking mistyped
characters.
Programmable Keys
The 513 BCT keyboard is equipped with eight programmable keys ( [F1] to [F8] ) located at the
top of the keyboard. Each key can be programmed by the user to perform a specific function.
The keys are programmed by accessing the USER PF KEY SET-UP screen form. Figure 2-2
shows the layout of the 513 BCT keyboard.
Table 2-A contains a list of the cursor keys, function keys, and programmable keys and a brief
description.
Function Keys
Three function keys ([CANCL], [ENTER], and [RETURN]) are provided.
The [CANCL] key is used to erase a form or command. Once the key is pressed, the system
returns the user to the enter command:(tasks request) level and asks for a new command.
Any data entered on a screen form prior to pressing [CANCEL] is ignored. Any command entered is
ignored and the user is returned to the enter command:prompt.
The [ENTER] key is used to store the data entered on a screen form into the system’s memory.
The [RETURN] key, when pressed, automatically moves the cursor to the next field on a screen
form.
