- Terminal name
Optional field which specifies the terminal port
name. You may enter up to 16 characters or an IP address. For routable
back-to-back environments, this field must
contain a valid IP address for the terminal port in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx,
where xxx is
a number from 0-255.
- Data transfer
Specifies the mode of data transfer. For back-to-back
connections, the field can be either ASCII or binary. If the profile
will not be configured for back-to-back connections,
enter 1 for ASCII.
The default is ASCII.
- Escape from data transfer character
Optional field which specifies the character which
will return the terminal user to the DTC user interface. Field applies
only if switching is enabled. Field may be either an ASCII character
or a control character entered as ^char
where char is
any letter, [,
\, ^,
_, or ].
If field is left blank, you will not return to the DTC user interface
before logging off the session.
- Maximum number of sessions
The number of concurrent sessions allowed from a
terminal. The maximum number of sessions allowed is 5
and the default is 1. If the connection
is established to a HP 3000 that is configured as host-based then
only one connection to that host is allowed. If the connection is
established to a PC-based system and the DTC port configured as
non-nailed, then you may establish up to the maximum number of sessions
specified. Only one connection is active at any given time. All
other sessions are in a suspended state. See Appendix C “DTC User Interface” for a description
of the DTC user interface commands.
- Enable port?
Specifies whether communication can be established
to the port. Enter an N to disable
the port. The default is Y. If
disabled, no connections can be established to the port.
- DTC user interface timeout?
Specifies whether the DTC user interface timeout
is active. If enabled, terminal connection to the DTC user interface
is automatically disconnected after the timeout period defined on
DTC User Interface screen (Figure 8-3 “DTC User Interface Screen”).
Field is valid only if switching is enabled in the "Enable switching?"
field. Enter a Y to enable the
DTC user interface timeout, the default is N.
- Enable switching?
Specifies the switching capability of the port.
Enter a Y to enable switching.
The default is N. If switching
is enabled, you are allowed to access more than one system. You
will see a DTC prompt that is specified on the DTC User Interface
screen Figure 8-3 “DTC User Interface Screen” in Chapter 8 “Additional DTC Configuration” Connection to
other systems on the LAN can be made by entering connect system name
at the DTC prompt (refer to Chapter 8 “Additional DTC Configuration” for more information on the DTC user
interface). If switching is disabled, the terminal will be automatically
connected to the host defined in the "Default destination"
field.
- Enable keep alive?
Specifies whether "keep alive"
mechanism is to be activated. When there is no data transfer between
the and the DTC and the system, then the "keep alive"
mechanism is used to detect if the connection is still there. The
default value is Y (enable). Enter
an N to disable the field. Not
applicable for DTC 48 without the memory extension. This
feature is only applicable for ARPA (TCP/IP) connections.
- Automatic connection?
Specifies whether a connection is automatically
established to the system specified in the "Default destination"
field. Enter a Y to enable automatic
connection. The default is N. If
enabled, the DTC senses the modem signal's rise and automatically
connects the device to the value of "Default destination".
"Allow :HELLO logon?"
field on Terminal Profile screen must be enabled. Field is valid
for modem ports only ("Modem behavior"
field on Terminal Profile screen must be set to 1,
2, or 3).
- Save port config in binary?
Specifies whether the port configuration parameters
data length and parity settings will be maintained when binary mode
is selected. If set to Y, then
the port configuration remains unchanged when binary mode is selected.
If set to N, then the data length
is set to 8 and parity is set to
none when binary mode is selected.
The default is N. Supported on
DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX only.
- Default destination
Specifies the default system to which the terminal
will connect. This destination will be used if the c[onnect]
command is entered without a system name at the DTC prompt or if
automatic connection is enabled. Field must be completed if switching
is disabled or if automatic connection is enabled. Field can be
a node name in the format name.domain.organization
or an IP address in the format xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx.
Default is the entry in the field "Local HP 3000 node name"
on the Main screen.
- Initialization string
Optional field that specifies the string that will
be sent to the attached device under one of the following circumstances:
After closing a session on the host and returning
to the DTC user interface.
After entering the escape character during a system
session and returning to the DTC user interface.
After establishing a connection to the DTC user
interface for modem connections when all modem signals are up.
