6.3 Console Printer-Keyboard Devices
6.3.1 Function
These device statements are used to define “Console Printer-Keyboard” devices to Hercules. To use the
Console Printer-Keyboard device a telnet client must connect to the host machine via the port number
specified on the CNSLPORT statement in that configuration file.
If the telnet client software allows it to specify a device type suffix (e.g. ansi@0009) then the suffix can be
used to specify the specific 1052 or 3215 device to which the client should connect. If no suffix is used in
the telnet client software (or the software does not allow it), then the client will be connected to the first
available 1052 or 3215 device for which it is eligible.

6.3.3 Parameter
devaddr
This is the device address.
devtype
This is the device type. Valid terminal device types are 1052 and 3215.
NOPROMPT
The NOPROMPT argument may be specified to cause suppression of the “ENTER
INPUT FOR CONSOLE DEVICE nnnn” prompt message which is otherwise nor-
mally issued to the device whenever the system is awaiting input from the device.
The NOPROMPT argument, if specified, must preceed the optional group name
and any ipaddr mask arguments.
groupname
If a terminal group name is given on the device statement then a device type suffix
with this group name can be used to indicate that a device in this group is to be
used. If it is specified as a terminal type suffix (e.g. IBM-3278@GROUPNAME) and
there are no devices defined with that group name or no available devices remain-
ing in that group then the connection is rejected. If no group name is specified as a
