Part 14 - Virtual Terminal
0 Introduction
The OSI Implementors' Workshop Virtual Terminal (VT) SIG is
making implementation agreements for the OSI Basic Class VT
Service and Protocol, ISO 9040 and ISO 9041.
These implementation agreements fall into the following
categories:
Functionality to be implemented, i.e., functional units,
etc.
Identification and specification of VT profiles to be
supported by conforming implementations.
Agreements with regard to implementation issues not
specified in ISO 9040 and ISO 9041.
Resolution of problems with ISO 9040 and ISO 9041 identified
during implementation.
Statement of requirements to meet conformance to these
agreements.
1 Scope
1.1 Phase Ia agreements
The Telnet profile is intended to support the following usage:
a) a simple line at a time or character at a time dialogue;
b) an application level gateway supporting Internet Telnet
and ISO VTP interoperation.
The Transparent profile supports the exchange of uninterpreted
sequences of characters. This includes support of VT-users who
wish to control terminals directly through the use of embedded
control characters and escape sequences.
1
PART 14 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL December 1993 (Stable)
1.2 Phase Ib agreements
The Forms profile is intended to support forms-based applications
with local entry and validation of data by the terminal system.
This profile is now aligned with the EWOS VT EG Functional
Standard.
1.3 Phase II agreements
The X.3 profile supports functionality similar to the CCITT
recommendations and could be used to implement an X.3 to ISO-VT
gateway.
The S-mode Paged Application profile is intended to provide a
Forms capability for the existing base of block mode terminals.
It contains a subset of the functionality provided by the Forms
profile.
See Working Agreements regarding other Phase II profiles.

3 Status
This version of the agreements was completed in December 1991.
3.1 Status of phase Ia
Phase Ia of the VT Agreements was stabilized May 5, 1988. This
phase covers the Telnet and Transparent profiles. No future
enhancements will be made to this phase.
3.2 Status of phase Ib
Phase Ib of the VT Agreements was first stabilized December 16,
1988. This phase covers the Forms profile. Alignment with EWOS
required substantial modifications which were ratified
September 15, 1989.
On March 11, 1993, the text for the forms profile was removed
from the Stable Agreements and replaced with a reference to PDISP
11187-3 (AVT-22 S-mode Forms Profile).
NOTE - PDISP 11187-3 contains significant technical
differences from the earlier forms profile contained within
these agreements. Implementors of the Forms Profile should
reference PDISP 11187-1.
3.3 Status of phase II
Phase II is still in progress and includes the remaining profile
work for the Scroll profile.
The S-mode Paged Application Profile is being progressed as PDISP
11187-4 (AVT-23 S-mode Paged Application Profile).
The X.3 profile of phase II was stabilized December 15, 1989.
The Generalized Telnet profile of phase II was stabilized
December 13, 1991.
It is intended that Phase II agreements be compatible with Phase
I agreements.

PART 14 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL December 1993 (Stable)
Table 1 - Technical errata
06/90-1 Forms Profile. The "FEICO Update Syntax" ASN.1
comment which follows the definition of the
PriValue type was corrected to support multi-octet
repertoires.
06/90-2 Forms Profile. The descriptive text for the Field
Entry Instruction Violation FEE was corrected to
indicate that both an entry-control index and a
FEPR index are required to identify the FEPR
concerned.
06/90-3 Forms Profile. The descriptive text and update
syntax for the Violation FEC were corrected to

5 Conformance
Conformant VT implementations are required to support the ISO
9041 Clause 13 requirements plus the additional conformance
requirements identified below.
Table 4 shows conformance status for VT facilities which are
optional in the ISO VT standard. The terms used in the figure
are defined as indicated below:
a) "Mandatory" indicates that the facility must be provided
by all implementations which conform to these agreements;
b) "Optional" indicates that the VT facility is not
required to meet minimum conformance requirements but has
been identified as providing additional useful capabilities;
c) "Profile Dependent" indicates that the requirement for
the facility, if any, is included in the profile
definitions;
d) "Not Addressed" indicates that the VT facility is
outside the scope of these agreements.

1) It is not anticipated that new profiles will use
quarantined delivery control.
2) Functional Units.
For each mode of operation (A-mode and S-mode) which is
implemented, the default profile for that mode as defined in ISO
9040 must be supported. Implementations that support A-mode must
support the A-mode default profile and at least one additional
Workshop approved A-mode profile. The Transparent profile does
not count as an additional A-mode profile. Implementations that
support S-mode must support the S-mode default profile and at
least one additional Workshop approved S-mode profile.
For each profile implemented, VTE parameter ranges or values
specified in the Workshop-agreed profile and associated notes

7.3.7 CO values and semantics
The values of the CO are composite, with values from Table 6
giving meaning to the values in the hex range 00-FF when added to
them.

400 control key
depressed
800 shift key depressed
1000 alt key depressed
1) possible special key
values are as defined by the
STCO ASN.1 module.
The special key and the function key are mutually exclusive. If
neither the function keys nor the special keys are pressed, then
the value in the hex range 00-FF will be that of the normal,
unshifted code combination generated by the alpha-numeric key.
Values in the hex range 00-FF are not valid values for the data
element of this Control Object.
The control, shift, and alt keys may appear in any combination
with the special or function keys.
The shift key must occur in combination with at least one of the
other keys in the above table to cause the value to fall outside
the repertoire of the display object.
When the special key is depressed, the value of the CO content
will be as given in the ASN.1 module below for the value in the
hex range of 00-FF. Otherwise, the value will be defined to be
the IA5 value associated with the key.

8.1.4 Profile arguments
r1 - is used to represent the line length as the value of
VTE parameter x-window for both display objects. This
argument is mandatory and takes a nonnegative integer
value. This argument is identified by the identifier
for x-window for display object D.
r2 - is used to designate the default repertoire for both
display objects. This argument is optional, if not
present the full US ASCII set is the default. This
argument is identified by the identifier for repertoire
assignment for the display object D.
8.1.5 Profile dependent control object information
This profile does not reference any Control Objects which are not
defined within this profile.
8.1.6 Profile notes
8.1.6.1 Definitive notes
1. Booleans in the KB and DI control objects are used in this
profile to correspond to TELNET commands as follows:
Table 7 - KB/DI CO value definitions
Control Boolean TELNET
Object
DI/KB 1 IP
DI/KB 2 AO
DI/KB 3 AYT
DI/KB 4 DM
DI/KB 5 BREAK
The equivalent of a TELNET command is achieved by
selecting the boolean that corresponds to the desired
TELNET command. Selecting a boolean in the DI or KB
control object means setting the value of the desired
boolean to "true." The usage of the mask element of
the boolean update is as specified in ISO 9041.
22
PART 14 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL December 1993 (Stable)
2. The equivalent of a TELNET SYNCH command is achieved by
updating the SY control object with the single symbolic
value of "SYNCH" (which is mapped onto the integer value 1),
and immediately updating the DI (or KB) control object
selecting the DM boolean. IP, AO, AYT, or BREAK commands
may be accompanied by a SYNCH command by updating the SY
control object and then updating the DI or KB control object
selecting both the DM and the other desired boolean. When
an update to the SY control object is received subsequent
display object updates are discarded until an update to the
DI or KB control object is received selecting the DM bit.
If a VT-BREAK is received after an SY CO update has been
received and prior to the corresponding DI or KB CO update
selecting the DM boolean, the discarding of updates is
terminated. This is necessary because the VT-BREAK may have
caused the DI or KB CO update to be purged.
3. The NI and NA control objects are used to emulate the TELNET
option negotiation facility. The facility is symmetric,
allowing either party to open negotiation for a change of
mode, and every negotiation must be accepted or rejected by
the opposite party. The rules for negotiation for each of
the option controls are as stated in RFC 854 and as given
below:
a. Only open negotiation for a change from the current
state;
b. Only acknowledge negotiation for a change from the
current state;
c. Do not send any object updates with a negotiation
outstanding except an update to the NI (or NA) control
object to acknowledge negotiation.
For full symmetry, both the NI and NA control objects have
the same value definition and consist of 4 booleans with the
semantics given in Table 8.
23
PART 14 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL December 1993 (Stable)
Table 8 - NI/NA CO value definition
BIT Option Value
1 Remote Echo "false" Echo is Local;
"true" Echo is remote
2 Suppress Go "false" GO Ahead;
Ahead "true" Suppress Go Ahead
3 Binary WACA "true" use binary WACA;
"false" use default or
negotiated repertoire for
WACA display object
4 Binary WACI "true" use binary WACI;
"false" use default or
negotiated repertoire for
WACI display object
Booleans 3 and 4 control the use of the Transparent
character set for the D and K display objects respectively.
A value of "true" indicates the use of the binary
repertoire; "false" indicates the use of the negotiated
repertoire. When a party wants to change a repertoire
assignment, it must complete a successful TELNET negotiation
to change the option control. Then the party with the
access rights to the display object in question is required
to perform the corresponding secondary attribute modal
update.
4. The TELNET EC (erase character) command will be mapped to a
pointer relative (x:= x-1) update and an erase current
update. This is the only instance when backward explicit
addressing is permitted.
The TELNET EL (erase line) command will be mapped to an
erase-full-x-array update (an erase operation where the
extent is defined as <"start-x,"(Yc,Xc-1)> and a pointer
update to set x = 1. This is the only instance when
absolute explicit addressing is permitted.
5. The X address of the pointer can be moved forward only by
implicit pointer addressing. Addressing of the Y dimension
is limited to the next X-array update operation.
6. The VT next X-array update operation will be sent in place
of the TELNET NVT "CR,LF" sequence.
24
PART 14 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL December 1993 (Stable)
7. While the "binary" repertoire is being used no mapping to
pointer addressing or erase operations will be done.
8. The repertoire designation "7-bit ASCII (G0+C0)" refers to
the repertoire invoked by ISO 2022 defined character set
designating escape sequences <ESC> 2/8 4/2, "void," <ESC>
2/1 4/0. The repertoire designation "7-bit ASCII (G0 only)"
refers to the repertoire invoked by the ISO 2022 defined
character set designating escape sequence <ESC> 2/8 4/2.
The designation "binary" refers to the "Virtual Terminal
Service Transparent Set" registered in the International
Register under ISO 2375 register value 125 and invoked by
the escape sequence <ESC> 2/5 2/15 4/2.
9. No termination event list is specified so that data
buffering and delivery can be controlled according to
context. If local echoing is enabled, the local newline or
enter event shall trigger a VT-DELIVER request. With remote
echo a timeout or buffer length may be used to trigger a VT-
DELIVER request. This buffer length may be 1.
8.1.6.2 Informative notes
1. Users of this profile should refer to the TELNET
specification (MIL-STD-1782) and RFCs 854 and 855 for
semantics of the TELNET commands. These documents can be
obtained by contacting SRI International, DDN Network
Information Center, 333 Ravenswood Ave., Menlo Park, CA
94025, (415) 859-3695.
2. An update to the GA control object is equivalent to the
TELNET Go Ahead command.
3. If the "go ahead" facility has been negotiated then
following a VT-BREAK, only the association acceptor has the
right to send data. In the event of VT-BREAK the echo
control objects are reinitialized to "false," meaning local
echo. If remote echo is desired it must be re-negotiated
following VT-BREAK.
4. Negotiation of TELNET options other than echo, transmit
binary, and SUPPRESS GO AHEAD is not supported by this
profile. Negotiations for these three options can take
place at any time during a session.

8.1.7 Specific conformance requirements
The following character sets are required:
The G0 character set for U.S. 7-bit ASCII (values 32-126);
The full U.S. 7-bit ASCII (values 0-127).
The transparent character set, see Definitive Note 8 in
clause 8.1.6.1.
8.2 Transparent profile
See PDISP 11187-6 (AVT15 A-mode Transparent Application profile).
8.3 Forms profile
See PDISP 11187-3 (AVT22 S-Mode Forms Application Profile).
PDISP 11187-3 contains significant technical differences from the
earlier forms profile contained within these agreements.
8.4 X3 profile
OIW VTE-Profile X3-1989 ( r1, r2, r3, r4, r5, r6 )
8.4.1 Introduction
This profile provides support for CCITT X.3 PAD compatible
operation.
The purpose of this profile is two-fold:
a) to provide a transitional environment for applications
that assume the availability of X.3 parameters with which to
control the behavior of the terminal-system;
b) to facilitate a gateway function between ISO-VTP and
X.3.

8.4.4 Profile arguments
r1 - is mandatory, and is used to establish the access rules
for the display objects and several of the control
objects. If the terminal-system, i.e., that which
includes the equivalent of the PAD function,
establishes the VTE-profile then the value of r1 should
be "WACI." If the system not including the PAD function
establishes the VTE-profile then the value of r1 should
be "WACA." This argument takes one of the values
"WACI" or "WACA." It is identified by the identifier
for DO-access for display object D1.
r2 - is an optional special profile argument, and is used to
set the initial content value of element 1 of the CUD
CO. The value is encoded from the binary form to the
ASN.1 type PrintableString according to the algorithm
described in Definitive Note 24. This argument is
assigned the identifier "Pp-1."
r3 - is an optional special profile argument, and is used to
set the initial content value of element 2 of the CUD
CO. The value is encoded from the binary form to the
ASN.1 type PrintableString according to the algorithm
described in Definitive Note 24. This argument is
assigned the identifier "Pp-2."
r4 - is an optional special profile argument, and is used to
set the initial content value of element 1 of the DTE
CO. The value is encoded from the binary form to the
ASN.1 type PrintableString according to the algorithm
described in Definitive Note 24. This argument is
assigned the identifier "Pp-3."

1. The value assigned to element 1 of PAD CO selects the
character used to return control to the terminal-system.
The valid values and associated meanings are:
Table 9 - PAD CO data element 1 value definition
value meaning
0 not-permitted
1 1/0 character
(DLE)
32- graphic
126 character
2. The value assigned to element 2 of PAD CO determines whether
or not characters are echoed at the terminal-system. When
the value of this boolean is "true," then the characters are
echoed at the terminal-system.
3. The values assigned to element 3 of PAD CO control the
forwarding of characters from the terminal-system to the
application-system based on the character value. The
defined booleans and associated meanings are:

6 characters 0/9 (HT), 0/10
(LF),
0/11 (VT), 0/12 (FF)
7 all others in column 0 and 1
not already included above
4. The value assigned to element 4 of PAD CO controls the
forwarding of characters from the terminal-system to the
application-system based on the duration of idle time
elapsed between consecutive characters received by the
terminal-system from the device. The valid values include
any non-negative integer 0-255; a value between 1 and 255
indicates the time-out in twentieths of a second; a value of
0 means that a time-out is not a forwarding condition.
5. The value assigned to element 5 of PAD CO determines whether
the XON/XOFF flow-control characters (1/1 and 1/3) are
available for use by the terminal-system. When the value of
this element is "true," then the flow-control characters are
available, and the terminal-system may use them to indicate
to the device its readiness to accept characters from it.
6. The value assigned to element 6 of PAD CO determines whether
the terminal-system issues messages, called PAD service
signals, to the device during the association. The specific
service signals are not a part of this profile definition,
only the control of their issue.
7. The values assigned to element 7 of PAD CO determine the
behavior at the terminal-system when a Break is received
36
PART 14 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL December 1993 (Stable)
from the device. The defined booleans and associated
meanings are:
Table 11 - PAD CO data element 7 value definition
boolea meaning
n
1 update BO CO
2 release the association
3 update BI CO
4 return control to terminal-
system
5 discard data from application-
system
When all booleans have the value "false," there is no action
at the terminal-system when a Break is received.
When boolean 1 is "true" and booleans 3 and 5 are "false"
and a Break is received from the device, the terminal system
updates the BO CO with the symbolic value "alone."
When booleans 1 and 3 are "true" and boolean 5 is "false"
and a Break is received from the device, the terminal system
updates the BO CO with the symbolic value "prepare" followed
by an update to the BI CO with the symbolic value
"unconfirmed."
When booleans 1, 3 and 5 are all "true" and a Break is
received from the device, the terminal system updates the BO
CO with the symbolic value "prepare" followed by an update
to the BI CO with the symbolic value "confirmed" and
discards all display object updates from the application
system until it receives an update to the PAD CO selecting
element-id 8.
If boolean 1 is "false," then booleans 3 and 5 must be
"false."
If boolean 3 is "false," then boolean 5 must be "false."

8. The value assigned to element 8 of PAD CO determines whether
or not the terminal-system discards data from the
application-system. This element works with element 7 to
acknowledge the receipt of the Break and resume normal
processing of display-object updates. The only valid value
of this boolean in an update is "false."
9. The value assigned to element 9 of PAD CO indicates the
number of padding characters to be generated by the
terminal-system to the device following a carriage return
character. The valid values are integers in the range 0-7.
10. The value assigned to element 10 of PAD CO indicates the
number of graphic characters sent to the device after which
the terminal-system will insert a carriage return. The
valid values are integers in the range 0-255, where a value
of 0 means that this function is not performed.
11. The value assigned to element 11 of PAD CO indicates the
bit-transmission speed of the device. This element may only
appear in an update sent to the application-system in
response to an update of the READ CO when boolean 11 has the
value "true."
12. The value assigned to element 12 of PAD CO determines
whether the XON/XOFF flow-control characters (1/1 and 1/3)
are available for use by the device. When the value of this
element is "true," then the flow-control characters are
38
PART 14 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL December 1993 (Stable)
available, and the device may use them to indicate to the
terminal-system its readiness to accept characters from it.
13. The values assigned to element 13 of PAD CO determine under
which situations a linefeed is inserted following a carriage
return character. The valid values and associated meanings
are:
Table 14 - PAD CO data element 13 value definition
boolea meaning
n
1 insert linefeed after carriage
return sent to device
2 insert linefeed after carriage
return received from device
3 insert linefeed after carriage
return echoed to the device
14. The values assigned to element 14 of PAD CO determine the
number of padding characters generated by the terminal-
system to the device following a linefeed character. The
valid values are any number in the range 0-7.
15. The value assigned to element 15 of PAD CO determines
whether or not the terminal-system performs data-editing.
When this CO has value "true," the values of the elements 3
and 4 of the PAD CO are ignored.
16. The value assigned to element 16 of PAD CO determines which
character is used in editing the line to signify the
function "delete character." The valid values are the IA5
characters, decimal value 0-127. Only applicable if the
value of element 15 of PAD CO is "true."
17. The value assigned to element 17 of PAD CO determines which
character is used in editing to signify the function "delete
line." The valid values are the IA5 characters, decimal
value 0-127. Only applicable if the value of element 15 of
PAD CO is "true."
18. The value assigned to element 18 of PAD CO determines which
character is used in editing to signify the function
"display line." The valid values are the IA5 characters,
decimal value 0-127. Only applicable if the value of
39
PART 14 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL December 1993 (Stable)
element 15 of PAD CO is "true."
19. The value assigned to element 19 of PAD CO determines
whether the terminal-system provides for editing of PAD
service signals. The valid values and meanings are as
follows:
Table 15 - PAD CO data element 19 value definitions
value meaning
0 no editing
1 editing as for a paper device
2 editing as for a glass device
8 editing using one editing
character
32- editing using one editing
126 character
20. The values assigned to element 20 of PAD CO determines which
characters are NOT to be echoed to the device by the
terminal-system. If no bits are set, then all characters
are to be echoed, assuming that element 2 has the value
"true." The defined booleans and associated meanings are:
40

defined by data elements 16, 17, and
18 of the PAD CO
8 Do not echo 7/15 (DEL) or any of the
other characters belonging to C0 or
C1 which are not already mentioned
above
21. The value assigned to element 21 of PAD CO determines the
treatment of parity on the characters received from and sent
to the device from the terminal-system. The defined
booleans and associated meanings are:
Table 17 - PAD CO data element 21 value definition
boolea meaning
n
1 parity is checked on
characters received from
the device
2 parity is generated on
characters sent to the
device
22. The value assigned to element 22 of PAD CO determines the
number of linefeeds that the terminal-system may send to the
41
PART 14 - VIRTUAL TERMINAL December 1993 (Stable)
device before it must wait for input from the device to
request it to continue displaying characters. The range of
valid values is 0-255, where a value of 0 indicates that the
terminal-system need never wait.
23. The TEXT operation is the only operation allowed on the
display objects.
24. Special profile arguments r2-r6 have binary values.
However, due to a restriction in the standards 9040 and
9041, those binary values must be conveyed in the ASN.1 type
PrintableString. This is accomplished by mapping the value
of each semi-octet in the string of binary octets to an
octet whose value falls in the value range of a
PrintableString. The semi-octet values in the range 0000 -
1001 are mapped into the PrintableString values `0' - `9',
whereas the semi-octet values in the range 1010 - 1111 are
mapped into the PrintableString values `A' - `F'. The
result is a string of characters which is exactly twice the
length of the original string of binary octets.
25. The value of CO-access for the PAD CO is "NSAC," however a
convention is followed that determines when a VT-user may
update the PAD CO. Only the VT-user with access to the
Display Object D2 may update the PAD CO except immediately
after it has updated the READ CO. When the READ CO update
is received by the opposite VT-user, it is treated as a
request to update the PAD CO with the parameter values it is
currently using, at which point that VT-user is required to
respond.
26. The application system can update the BI CO and the terminal
system shall send a Break to the device. If the symbolic
value of the update is "confirmed," the terminal system
shall respond with an update to the PAD CO selecting
element-id 8.
