Terminal Profile Screen (Host-Based) 

The Terminal Profile screenis used to define characteristics associated
with a terminal profile.  Figure 7-2  shows a Terminal Profile screen
for host-based management.  The PC-based Terminal Profile screen varies
slightly, see Figure 7-4 , Terminal Profile screen (PC-Based).

Fields 

Terminal type         The terminal type associated with the profile.
                      Three terminal types are supplied with MPE/iX:
                      terminal type 10, 18 and 24.  See Terminal Types
                      earlier in this chapter.

Terminal type file    Instead of using the default terminal types 10, 18,
name                  or 24, you may create your own terminal type and
                      save it in a file.To create a customized terminal
                      type, use the Workstation Configurator,
                      TTUTIL.PUB.SYS.Refer to the Customizing Terminal 
                      and Printer Type Files with Workstation 
                      Configurator (5959-2870) for more information.

Line speed            The line speed, in bits per second.  Supported
                      speeds are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and
                      38400.  (Line speed 38400 is supported for direct
                      connect devices on DTC 16iX/16MX and DTC 72MX only,
                      and the attached device must also support this
                      speed.This field does not apply for DTC 16RX access
                      to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management
                      environment; any value entered in this field for a
                      DTC 16RX will be ignored.)

Record width          The number of characters for each record.  For HP
                      terminals, the record width is usually 80 (the
                      width of the screen). 

Modem type            Specifies the type of modem used in the connection.

                      0 means that modems will not be used.

                      1 means that a US modem will be used.

                      2 means that a European modem will be used. 

Modem behavior        The DTC supports the following types of modem
                      behavior which define the protocol used to
                      establish a modem link between the DTC port and the
                      attached device. 

                      0 means no modem used.

                      1 specifies DCE modem behavior.  Used for terminal
                      connections.  It uses a 2 minute timer to establish
                      the link, and the DTC may disconnect if a carriage
                      return is not received within a 2 minute interval.

                      2 specifies DTE modem behavior.Used for termtype 26
                      supported on MPE/iX for remote printer access.

                      3 specifies DCE modem behavior,except that it does
                      not use a 2 minute timer to establish the link.
                      The DTC does not disconnect the link after a 2
                      minute interval and the port remains open for
                      connection establishment.  (This option is
                      supported on DTC 16iX/16MX and DTC 72MX only.)

                      This field does not apply for DTC 16RX access to an
                      HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management
                      environment; any value entered in this field for a
                      DTC 16RX will be ignored.

Parity                The type of parity that will be used if parity is
                      enabled for this profile.Choices are none, even,
                      odd, 0's, or 1's.  This field does not apply for
                      DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX
                      host-based management environment; any value
                      entered in this field for a DTC 16RX will be
                      ignored.

Speed/Parity          Specifies whether auto speed and parity sensing
Sensing?              will occur at logon for terminals using this
                      profile.This field does not apply for DTC 16RX
                      access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
                      management environment; any value entered in this
                      field for a DTC 16RX will be ignored.

Allow :HELLO logon?   Specifies whether the :HELLO logon will be accepted
                      from the terminals.

Reset HP terminal?    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).  This field does not apply for DTC 16RX
                      access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
                      management environment; any value entered in this
                      field for a DTC 16RX will be ignored.

NLIO device?          Specifies whether native language devices will be
                      used. 

Hardware handshake?   Specifies whether hardware handshakewill be used.
                      Hardware handshake uses modem signals CTS and RTS
                      to pace the data transfer from the DTC to the
                      attached device.  (Supported on DTC 16iX/16MX and
                      DTC 72MX only.  This field does not apply for DTC
                      16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host- based
                      management environment; any value entered in this
                      field for a DTC 16RX will be ignored.)

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
                      associated with a profile; the total number of
                      supported, configured device classes defined in all
                      profiles is 1000.  Use the [Go to CLASSES] key to
                      move to an Additional Device Class Names screen to
                      add more device classes. 


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.
