Terminal Profile Screen (Host-Based) 

The Terminal Profile screenis used to define characteristics associated
with a terminal profile.  Figure 4-2  shows a Terminal Profile screen
for host-based management.

[]
Figure 4-2. Terminal Profile Screen (Host-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 terminaltypes 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 WorkstationConfigurator, 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 speed38400 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 access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field will be ignored.) Record width The number of characters for each record. For HP terminals, the record widthis 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 modemwill be used. Modem behavior The DTC supports the following types of modembehavior 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 modembehavior. Used for termtype 26 supported on MPE/iX for remote printer access. 3 specifies DCE modembehavior, 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 field does not apply for access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/ iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field will be ignored. 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. This field does not apply for access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field will be ignored. Speed/Parity Specifies whether auto speed and parity sensingwill Sensing? occur at logon for terminals using this profile. This field does not apply for access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field 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 access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field will be ignored. NLIO device? Specifies whether native language deviceswill 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 access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment using a DTC 16RX; any value entered in this field 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 Namesscreen 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. __________________________________________________
