DTC PAD Profile Field 

The profile number used by the PAD is the decimal value of the binary
number calculated from the following table as done by the [Compute 
Byte]function key.  An "x" in a box means that the value doesn't matter:
that is, the values of the bits are not dependent on each other.  Bit 7
is reserved for future use, and is set to 0.  Note that you can only use
certain combinations:  meaningless or dangerous combinations are blocked
and cannot be entered.

PAD Profiles and Access Password 

When users attempt to establish a connection from a PAD, the PAD
selection command may specify a password and/or a profile number.  The
password will be needed if a password has been configured for the DTC
that contains the X.25 card being called.  The profile number may be
specified to override the PAD profile field configured for the PAD port.

The password is configured on the DTC Configuration screen in Step 6:
Specify DTC Configuration.  Refer to chapter 3 for information on
configuring the password.

The PAD profile number is the number displayed by the [Compute Byte] 
function key.  The section DTC PAD Profiles contains a list of PAD
profiles that are available.  Entering a profile number in the PAD
selection command causes the DTC to use the particular PAD profile when
the connection is established.

The syntax to enter a password and/or profile number for the PAD
selection command is:

@<X.25 address>,d[<password>][/<profile number>]

The following example supplies the password "secret" and causes the PAD
profile 33 to be used.

@ 1234567891234,dsecret/33

Forced Data Forwarding 

When a connection is established to a PAD device, two of the
characteristics that get set, are the data forwarding parameters.  The
data forwarding parameters tell the PAD when a packet must be sent to the
PDN. The behavior of data forwarding is set with the fields "Data
forwarding parm #3 and #4" and "Forced data forwarding" on the PAD
Terminal Profile screen.  The Forced data forwarding field also affects
how the "Data forwarding parm #3 and #4" field behaves.  See the PAD
Installation manual for further information on the PAD parameters.

On the PAD, Parm #3 selects the set of characters that will signal the
PAD to forward data to the PDN. Parm #4 sets the idle timer in 1/20
second increments.  The idle timer will signal the PAD to forward data if
the time between successive characters from the terminal exceeds the idle
timer value.

When "Forced data forwarding" bit is 0, the "Data forwarding parm #3 and
#4" behave as described in the Configuring Systems for Terminals, 
Printers, and Other Serial Devices manual.  The value specified in the
field will be used when the connection to the is in:

                                 Table 4-5.

--------------------------------------------------------------

The value in the field is not used during a connection when in character
mode and EOR or AEOR is carriage return.  In this case the default values
will be used:  parm #3 is 2 and parm #4 is 0.

When the "Forced data forwarding" bit is 1, the data forwarding parms #3
and #4, that are set at connection time in the PAD, are ALWAYS used.
