DTC PAD Profile Field
The profile number is the decimal value of the binary number calculated
from the following table as done by the
[Compute Byte] function key as shown in Table 4-4 . An "x" in a box
means that the value doesn't matter: that is, the values of the bits are
not dependent on each other. Bit 7 is reserved for future use, and is
set to 0. Note that you can only use certain combinations: meaningless
or dangerous combinations are blocked and cannot be entered.
For example, note the following settings:
Table 4-3.

PAD Profiles and Access Password
When users attempt to establish a connection from a PAD, the PAD
selection command may specify a passwordand/or a profile number. The
password will be needed if a password has been configured for the DTC
that contains the X.25 card being called. The profile number may be
specified to override the PAD profile field configured for the PAD port.
The password is configured on the DTC Configuration screen in Step 6:
Specify DTC Configuration. Refer to chapter 3 for information on
configuring the password.
The PAD profile number is the number displayed by the [Compute Byte]
function key. The section DTC PAD Profiles contains a list of PAD
profiles that are available. Entering a profile number in the PAD
selection command causes the DTC to use the particular PAD profile when
the connection is established.
The syntax to enter a password and/or profile number for the PAD
selection command is:
@<X.25 address>,d[<password>][/<profile number>]
The following example supplies the password "secret" and causes the PAD
profile 33 to be used.
@ 1234567891234,dsecret/33
Forced Data Forwarding
The forced data forwardingbit affects the behavior of data forwarding in
the PAD and how the field "Data forwarding parm #3 or #4" on the PAD
Terminal Profile screen is used.
When the forced data forwarding bit is 0, the data forwarding parm #3 and
#4 behave as described earlier in this chapter. The value specified in
the field will be used when the connection to the host is in:
Table 4-5.
------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| Vplus mode | |
| | |
------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| TELNET mode | |
| | |
------------------------------------------------------------
| | |
| character mode when EORR and AEOR are not carriage | |
| return. | |
| | |
------------------------------------------------------------
The value in the field is not used during a connection when in character
mode and EOR or AEOR is carriage return. In this case the default values
will be used: parm #3 is 2 and parm #4 is 0.
When the forced data forwarding bit is 1, the data forwarding parms #3
and #4, that are set at connection time in the PAD, are ALWAYS used.
The forced data forwarding bit is not configurable in NMMGR. If this
feature is desired, it can be set by specifying the appropriate profile
in the call request at the PAD prompt. When a profile with forced data
forwarding is specified in the call request, the data forwarding parms
will also be specified. The value specified in the call request will
override the value set in NMMGR.
Profile 85 is one profile that can be used to enable forced data
forwarding. Profile 85 also sets data forwarding parms: 3:127, 4:0, and
no X.3 setting. Other data forwarding options can be selected. See
table 4-4 for other available profiles.
