- Printer type
The printer type associated with the profile. Four
printer types are supplied with MPE/iX: printer type 18, 21, 22
and 26. See Printer Types earlier in this chapter.
- Printer type file name
Instead of using the default printer type files
18, 21, 22, or 26, you may create your own customized printer type
and store it in a file. Use the Workstation Configurator, TTUTIL.PUB.SYS
to create your own printer type files. 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, or 38400. (Line speed 38400
is supported for direct connect devices on DTC 16iX/DTC 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 printers, the record width is usually 132 (the width of the
line).
- 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/DTC 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. The possible values are 1
or 2 stop bits. This is applicable
only for DTC 72MX, DTC 16MX and DTC 16iX.
This field does not apply for DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000
in an MPE/iX host-based management environment and 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.)
- Initially spooled?
Specifies whether the device that uses this profile
will be initially spooled when the system is rebooted. If the device
was added dynamically, the device can be spooled any time after
the device is created.
- 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. This function is also known as "software handshake".
This field does not apply for DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000
in an MPE/iX host-based management environment, and any value entered
in this field for a DTC 16RX will be ignored.
- NLIO device?
Specifies whether native language devices
will be used.
- Device class
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 used for a printer profile;
the total number of supported, configured device classes defined
in all profiles is 2000. 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. |
