- 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 name
Instead of using the default terminal types 10,
18, or 24, you may create your own terminal type and save it in
a file. To create a customized terminal
type, use the Workstation Configurator, TTUTIL.PUB.SYS.
Refer to the Customizing Terminal and Printer Type Files
with Workstation Configurator for more information.
- Line speed
The line speed, in bits per second. Supported speeds
are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400. (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.
This field does not apply for DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an
MPE/iX host-based management environment; any value entered in this
field for a DTC 16RX will be ignored.)
- Record width
The number of characters for each record. For HP
terminals, the record width is 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 modem will be used.
3 means that a Five wires
modem will be used. (Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX
and DTC 72MX only.)
4 means that a US In Out
modem will be used. (Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX
and DTC 72MX only.)
5 means that a European Modem
In Out will be used. (Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX
and DTC 72MX only.)
- Modem behavior
The DTC supports the following types of modem behavior
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 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 DTC does not disconnect
the link after a 2 minute interval and the port remains open for
connection establishment. (This option is supported on DTC 16iX/16MX
and DTC 72MX only.)
This field does not apply for DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000
in an MPE/iX host-based management environment; any value entered
in this field for a DTC 16RX will be ignored.
- Data Length/Parity
Specifies the type of parity and data length will be used using this profile.
The full list of supported data length with parity settings is as
given:
None means that the 8 bits
data length with parity none will be used.
Even means that the 7 bits
data length with even parity will be used.
Odd means that 7 bits data
length with odd parity will be used.
0's means that 7
bits data length with parity forced to 0 will be used.
1's means that 7
bits data length with parity forced to 1 will be used.
8eve means that 8 bits data
length with even parity will be used. (Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX
and DTC 72MX only.)
8odd means that 8 bits data
length with odd parity will be used. (Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX
and DTC 72MX only.)
- Number of stop bits
Specifies the number of stop bits to be used for
asynchronous characters. Enter a 1
to set 1 stop bit and 2 for 2 stop
bits. The default value is 1. Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX
and DTC 72MX only.
- Speed/Parity sensing?
Specifies whether auto speed and parity sensing
will occur at logon for terminals using this profile.
This field does not apply for DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an
MPE/iX host-based management environment; any value entered in this
field for a DTC 16RX will be ignored.
- Hardware handshaking?
Specifies whether hardware handshake
will 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
DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host- based
management environment; any value entered in this field for a DTC
16RX will be ignored.)
- Allow :HELLO logon?
Specifies whether the :HELLO
logon will be accepted from the terminals.
- Enable flow control?
Specifies whether to enable flow control between
DTC port and connected device. If set to Y,
flow control is made with XON/XOFF characters. If set to N,
the XON/XOFF characters sent from device are not interpreted by
DTC. The default value is Y. This
function is also known as "software handshake".
- NLIO device?
Specifies whether native language devices will be
used.
- 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 DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management
environment; any value entered in this field for a DTC 16RX 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
2000. Use the [Go to CLASSES]
key to move to an Additional Device Class Names screen to add more
device classes.
