Create an event when reply from X.25 host matches
This parameter can be used to generate a “Data Trigger” event (code 47) when the reply
from the X.25 host contains the string specified in this parameter. It is possible to configure
the unit to generate an email alert message when this event occurs. See “LOGCODES.TXT”
for a complete list of events.

Connect to remote IP address
When the unit is configured for XOT or TCP socket mode, this parameter is used to specify
the IP address of the host to which the TCP/XOT connection is made. Note that the
transport protocol must be set to TCP.
Port
When making a TCP socket connection (i.e. the transport protocol has been set to TCP not
XoT), this parameter must be used to specify the TCP port number to use.
IP length header
When making a TCP socket connection (i.e. the transport protocol has been set to TCP),
setting this parameter to “On” will pre-pend the data sent to the host with a 2 byte length
header. The 2 byte length header will not be included in the length calculation. When set to
“8583 Ascii 4 byte”, the IP length header will conform to the ISO 8583 format. When set to
“On Inclusive” it will pre-pend a 2 byte length header and the calculation of the length will
include the 2 bytes of the length header.

Use Terminal ID (TID)
The Terminal ID parameter can be used to insert or replace a Terminal ID in the APACS 30
string.
Replace TID provided by connected terminal with configured TID
When this check box is ticked, any Terminal ID provided by a connected terminal will be
replaced by the ID set in the Use Terminal ID field above.
The TID will be become inactive in n seconds.
This specifies the time in seconds before the Terminal ID is considered inactive. Local
authorisations may be configured to occur on active TIDs (terminal Ids), so this parameter
defines how long a time (without transactions) must pass for a TID to change from active to
inactive.
Use TID xxxxxxxxx with incoming APACS 50 polling calls
This parameter specifies the terminal ID to associate with this TPAD instance when
answering an incoming APACS 50 polling call.
Use merchant Number
This parameter can be used to insert a merchant number into the APACS 30 string when the
locally connected equipment does not transmit a merchant number.
Use Connect String
This parameter specifies a string to be sent to the user’s terminal when an outgoing TPAD
call has been connected, instead of the normal ENQ character. For example, this might be
used to make a TPAD connection look like a PAD connection by specifying “CON COM” as the
connect string.
