You can set ATE parameter values so the remote system recognizes your terminal as either an attached workstation terminal or a DEC VT100 terminal. Before you run ATE, you must install the software and set up the ports and connections. Before you use ATE to call a remote system, be sure that the remote system's tty device is ready to accept a call. If another user on the remote system uses ATE to call your terminal, be sure your tty device is ready to accept the call. The first time you run ATE, the program creates an ate.def default file in the current directory.
Local system features Dialing directory file Control keys.
To change the defaults, edit the ate.def file. If the you need to run ATE with different settings, you can maintain ate.def files in different directories. You can then run ATE from the appropriate directory depending on the settings needed for specific sessions. However, running ATE from many directories requires multiple copies of the ate.def file, which uses system storage. Communications and Networks for details about editing the ate.def file.
