If a fixed transaction is not specified, users can run any transaction from this terminal.

a transaction's execution priority, which is the sum of:
- Terminal priority (this field)
- Transaction priority
- Operator priority
Note: The sum cannot be greater than 255.
- In Service
- Check this to specify that this terminal is in service; that is, transactions can be initiated and messages sent.

for print requests issued from this terminal.
Terminal Security

- Mixed
- Incoming attach requests may specify either Identify or Persistent.
- Local
- The authority of the user is taken to be that of the link.
- Operator ID

- Specify the operator priority for transactions run from this terminal. Specify this for a terminal that cannot be signed on,
such as a printer. If you specify it for a terminal that can be signed on, it is overridden by the operator priority specified
in the user's sign-on table entry. This defaults to 0 (zero). Operator priority is one factor in determining a transaction's
execution priority, which is the sum of:
- Terminal priority
- Transaction priority
- Operator priority (this field)
The sum cannot be greater than 255.
