In computing , the Blit was a programmable bitmap computer graphics graphics computerterminalterminal designed by Rob Pike and Bart Locanthi Jr of Bell Labs in 1982. When initially switched on, the Blit looked like an ordinary textual terminal Similar to the VT100 it had an addressable cursor and supported escape sequences . However, after logging into a Unix host connected to the terminal through a serial port , the host could load via special escape sequences software onto the Motorola 68000 processor of the display. This software could make use of the terminal s full graphics capabilities, and attached peripherals such as a computer mouse . Normally, users would load the Mux windowing system mux windowing system, which replaced the terminal s user interface by a mouse driven windowing interface, with multiple terminal windows all multiplexed on the single available serial line connection to the host. Each window initially ran a simple terminal emulator, which could be replaced by a downloaded interactive graphical application, for example a more advanced terminal emulator, an editor, or a clock application. The resulting properties were similar to those of a modern Unix windowing system however the interactive interface and the host application ran on separate systems an early ... 5620 software cite 5620 cite JargonFile DEFAULTSORT Blit ComputerTerminal Category History of computing hardware Category User interfaces Category Computer terminals Category Thin clients ja Blit pt ... att 5620 AT&T Teletype 5620 Dot Mapped Display Terminal ref followed by models 630 in 1987 and 730 ...

ISDN In ISDN terminology, a terminal adapter or TA is a device that connects a terminalcomputer to the ISDN network. The TA therefore fulfills a similar function to the ones a modem has on the Plain old telephone service POTS network, and is therefore sometimes called an ISDN modem . The latter term, however, is partially misleading as there is no modulation or demodulation performed. There are devices on the market that combine the functions of an ISDN TA with those of a classical modem with an ISDN line interface . These combined TA modems permit connections from both ISDN and analog line modem counterparts. In addition, a TA may contain an interface and codec for one or more analog telephone lines aka a b line , allowing an existing POTS installation to be upgraded to ISDN without changing phones. Terminal adapters typically connect to a basic rate interface S interface S0 , sometimes also U interface U0 . On the terminal side, the most popular interfaces are RS 232 serial and USB others like V.35 or RS 449 are only of historical interest. Devices connecting ISDN to a network e.g. Ethernet commonly include router routing functionality while they technically include a TA function, they are referred to as ISDN router s. Mobile Networks In Mobile network s, the terminal adapter is used by the Terminal equipment to access the Mobile termination , using AT commands see Hayes command set . In 2G such as GSM or CDMA , the terminal adapter is a theoretically optional while in 3G such as W CDMA , the terminal adapter is mandatory and is part of the Mobile Termination . Automation industry In the automation industry, a terminal adapter is a passive device that converts a connector like the 8P8C RJ 45 modular connector or DE 9 connector 9 pin D Sub into a terminal block to facilitate wiring. It is often used when daisy chain wiring is necessary on a multi node serial communication network like RS 485 or RS 422 .
