Complete the "Default destination"field. The default is the entry in the field "Local HP 3000 node name" on the Main screen. 9. (Optional) Complete the "Initialization string" field. 10. After you have completed the necessary fields, press the [Save Data] key. 11. Press the [Prior Screen] key to return to the Terminal Profile screen. Fields Terminal name Optional field which specifies the terminal port name. You may enter up to 16 characters or an IP address. For routable back- to-back environments, this field must contain a valid IP address for the terminal port in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx, where xxx is a number from 0-255. Data transfer Specifies the mode of data transfer. For back-to-back connections, the field can be either ASCII or binary. If the profile will not be configured for back-to-back connections, enter 1 for ASCII. DTC user interface Specifies whether the DTC user interface timeout is timeout? active. If enabled, terminal connection to the DTC user interface is automatically disconnected after the timeout period defined on DTC User Interface screen (see Figure 7-3 ). Field is valid only if switching is enabled in the "Enable switching?" field. Enable port? Specifies whether communication can pass through the port. If disabled, no communication can pass through the port. Enable switching? Specifies switching capability of the port. Enabling switching allows you to access more than one system. If switching is enabled, you will see a DTC prompt that was specified on the DTC User Interface screen chapter 8 in Figure 7-3 . Connection to other systems on the LAN can be made by entering connect system name at the DTC prompt (refer to chapter 8 for more information on the DTC userinterface). If switching is disabled, the terminal will be automatically connected to the host defined in the "Default destination" field. Automatic Specifies automatic connection capability of the connection? device to the system specified in the "Default destination" field. If enabled, the DTC senses the modem signal's rise and automatically connects the device to the value of "Default destination". "Allow :HELLO logon?" field on Terminal Profile screen must be enabled. Field is valid for modem ports only ("Modem behavior" field on Terminal Profile screen must be set to 1, 2, or 3). Excape from data Optional field which specifies the character which transfer character will return the terminal user to the DTC user interface. Field applies only if switching is enabled. Field may be either an ASCII character or a control character entered as ^char where char is any letter, [, \, ^, _, or ]. If field is left blank, you will not return to the DTC user interface before logging off the session. Default destination Specifies the system which the terminal will connect to. Field must be completed if switching is disabled or if automatic connection is enabled. Field can be a node name in the format name.domain.organization or an IP address in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. Default is the entry in the field "Local HP 3000 node name" on the Main screen. Initialization Optional field that specifies the string that will string be sent to the attached device under one of the following circumstances: * After resetting a port. * After closing a session on the host and returning to the DTC user interface. * After entering the escape character during a system session and returning to the DTC user interface. * After establishing a connection to the DTC user interface for modem connections when all modem signals are up. Field is case-sensitive and can be up to 16 characters, including special characters and escape-code sequences in the format ^char.
