Hi,
I have a Lucent 2900/260LF terminal, which is a dumb terminal unit with a serial port that uses a VGA screen as display and PS/2 keyboard for input.
I found a manual here (appears to be manufactured by Boundless Terminals):
http://www.boundlessterminals.com/manuals/Lucent 2900-260 LF-LFC Users Guide.pdf
This gives instructions for entering Setup screen with a PC keyboard as Ctrl-Scroll Lock. This has no effect on my terminal (and I've tried plenty of other keys). The terminal is working fine (I think it is set to VT520 @ 9600 baud). It has a Lithium battery which I assume backs up the config, but I am wondering if this is a 'special' for Lucent that has a fixed config. One option I am thinking of is to remove the battery (which still has 3V) and see what happens (it is about 20 years old but been in use most of the time, I think the battery is only discharged when the terminal is switched off).
Has anyone any experience with these terminals please?
Regards,
John
