Host Profile Screen (Host-Based) 

Figure 7-10  displays the new Host Profilescreen.  Use this screen to
configure host ports for back-to-back.

Figure 7-10. Host Profile Screen Fields Host name Names the port. Field can be a node name up to 16 characters long or an IP address in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx. If a node name is entered, the domain and organization names from the DTC node name will be taken to form a fully-qualified host node name. Also, if a node name is entered, the IP address of the DTC configured with this host port must be entered in the "DTC IP Address" field on the DTC Configuration screen ( Figure 5-5 displays the DTC 72MX Configuration screen as an example). If routers are used to connect two DTCs, this field must contain an IP address. Line speed The line speed,in bits per second. Supported speeds are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400. Default is 9600. (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.) Modem type Specifies the type of modem used in the connection. Default is 0. 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 behaviorwhich define the protocol used to establish a modem link between the DTC port and the attached device. Default is 0. 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 port remains open for connection establishment and the DTC does not disconnect the link after a 2 minute interval. (This option is supported on DTC 16iX/16MX and DTC 72MX only.) Parity The type of paritythat will be used if parity is enabled for this profile. Choices are none, even, odd, 0's, or 1's. Default is NONE. Data transfer Specifies the mode of data transferin back-to-back connections. Field may be either ASCII or binary. Default is ASCII. Enable port? Specifies whether communication can pass through the port.If disabled, no communication can pass through the port. Default is Y. Enq/Ack flow Enables enq/ack flow control.Enq/ack flow control control? is needed when the host port is connected to MPE/V systems. Default is Y. Automatic Enables automatic connectioncapability of the port. connection? When enabled, the port will automatically connect to the system specified in the "Destination node name" field. The connection will be established when the port senses the rise of the modem signals of the device connected to the port. Field can be enabled on modem ports only ("Modem behavior" field on Terminal Profile screen must be set to 1, 2, or 3). Default is N. Hardware Specifies whether hardware handshakewill be used. handshaking? Hardware handshake uses modem signals CTS and RTS to pace the data transfer from the DTC to the attached device. Default is N. (Supported on DTC 16iX/16MX and DTC 72MX only.) Destination node Optional field name which specifies the system to which the port will connect if "Automatic connection?" field is enabled. A name must be entered if "Automatic connection?" is enabled. Initialization Optional field string which specifies the string that will be sent to the attached device under one of the following circumstances: * After resetting a port. * After the connection to this port is closed. * 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.
