- Terminal type
The terminal type being associated with the profile.
The only valid terminal type for PAD terminal profiles is terminal
type 24.
- Terminal type file name
A terminal type file created with the Workstation
Configurator utility (TTUTIL.PUB.SYS),
to be associated with the profile instead of the system-supplied
terminal type. Enter the fully qualified file name (filename.group.account).
Refer to the Customizing Terminal and Printer Type Files
with Workstation Configurator for more information on
TTUTIL.PUB.SYS.
- Record width
The number of characters for each record.
For HP terminals, the record width is usually 80 (the width of the
screen).
- Allow :HELLO logon?
Specifies whether :HELLO
logon will be accepted from the terminals.
- Reset HP terminals?
Specifies whether or not the terminal will be reset
after the DTC is powered on or after the connection is aborted or
re-established (for HP terminals only).
- NLIO device?
Specifies whether native language devices will be
used.
- PAD test requested?
Specifies whether the DTC will set and read several
X.29 parameters at connection establishment time
to determine the PAD's behavior.
- Send initial profile?
Specifies whether at connection establishment, the
PAD is set to default X.3 terminal parameter values.
- X.3 setting requested?
Specifies whether changes to X.3 parameters
may be made after connection establishment.
- Forced data forwarding?
Specifies whether the Data Forwarding Parms #3 and
#4 will be allowed to change after connection establishment. If
this field is N
then data forwarding parms #3 and #4 can change if the port changes
from a normal read to VPLUS mode or if an Alternate End of Record
(AEOR) is set. If this field is Y
then the data forwarding parms #3 and #4 setting established at
connection time is always used.
- Data forwarding parm #3 and #4
This setting tells the PAD when a packet must be
sent to the PDN. 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 the data forwarding parameter is 10
and a normal read is sent, parm #3 is 2
(data forwarding character is a carriage return) and parm #4 is
0 (no idle time
set). In VPLUS mode, parm #4 is 10
(idle timeout is 1/2 sec).
If the data forwarding parameter is 1
or 2, parm #4
is 1 (idle timeout
is 1/20 sec) or parm #4 is 2
(idle timeout is 1/10 sec), respectively, and parm #3 is 0
(no data forwarding character).
If the data forwarding parameter is 0,
parm #3 is 127 (all characters are data forwarding) and parm #4
is 0 (no idle
time set).
The following four parameters will be ignored when a profile
is configured for non-nailed devices: PAD test requested, send initial
profile, X.3 setting requested, and data forwarding parm #3 and
#4. For non-nailed devices, the first three parameters will be set
to Y and the
last parameter set to 0.
The four parameters will also be ignored for connections made through
public PADs because the connections are made to non-nailed ldevs.
- Device class names
Device classes provide a means of accessing devices
associated with a profile. Each device class name is up to eight
alphanumeric characters beginning with a letter.
Up to 450 device class names may be used for a printer profile;
the total number of supported, configured device classes defined
in all profiles is 2000. Use the [Go To CLASSES]
key to go to an Additional Device Class Names screen for entering
additional device class names.

 | NOTE: If you are changing profile characteristics, you can
see which ldevs and DTCs will be affected by the change by pressing
the [Assoc Ldevs] function key
on the profile screen corresponding to the profile you are changing.
After pressing this key, you will see a list of all ldevs using
this profile in the DTCs configured in DTS. |
