PAD Terminal Profile (Host-Based) The PAD Terminal Profileis used to define the characteristics associated with a PAD terminal profile. Figure 4-4 shows a PAD Terminal Profile screen, note that this screen is used for host-based management only.Figure 4-4. PAD Terminal Profile Screen (Host-Based) Fields 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 A terminal type name 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 manual (5959-2870) for more information on TTUTIL.PUB.SYS. Record width The number of charactersfor 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 parametersat connection establishment time to determine the PAD's behavior. Send initial Specifies whether at connection establishment, the profile? PAD is set to default X.3 terminal parameter values. X.3 setting Specifies whether changes to X.3 parameters may be requested? made after connection establishment. Data forwarding parm This setting tells the PAD when a packet must be #3 and #4 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 classesprovide a means of accessing devices associated with a profile. Each device class name is up to eight alphanumeric charactersbeginning 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 1000. 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. __________________________________________________ __________________________________________________ NOTE You can use the [Compute Byte] key to print a message telling you what the profile byte value is, given the current setting of the PAD selectable profile fields on the current profile screen. The PAD selectable profile fields are: PAD test requested; Send initial profile; X.3 setting requested; Data forwarding parm #3 or #4. The profile byte value can be used when starting a PAD connection as a way to force a particular profile configuration. If used, the logon setting will override the NMMGR configuration of the PAD selectable profile fields for that port. See "PAD Profiles and Access Passwords" later in this chapter. __________________________________________________
