If you're speaking of Ckermit, it doesn't provide ANY terminal emulation.
Your terminal is whatever the terminal is you're actually using. If you're
logged into a LInux console (text console, not a GUI terminal window) your
terminal type is "linux" (which is close enough to vt100 that most apps
will work). (perhaps you're thinking of MS-Kermit, or K95.)

Kermit, AFAIK, (and I've been using it for some years) doesn't provide
any such feature as F3 == SEND. You must be confusing it with some other
program that does that. (Again, perhaps you're thinking of MS-Kermit,
or K95.)
OTOH, if your switch can do kermit-protocol file transfers (and if it
actually implements the kermit protocol correctly--keep in mind that many
3rd-party kermit implementations are buggy, to be gracious about it) then
you have to actually type in the appropriate commands to kermit:
send filename
and you may need to set protocol feature options first, depending on how
flexible the kermit receiver (your switch) is.
