Option
Description
4 PAD prompt enabled, signals disabled
5 PAD prompt enabled, signals disabled
7 Action on Break (from DTE)
This parameter determines the action taken by the PAD on receipt of a break signal from
the DTE.
Option
Description
0 No action
1 Send an X.25 interrupt packet
2 Send an X.25 reset packet to the remote system
4 Send an X.29 indication of break
8 Escape to PAD command state
16 Set PAD parameter 8 to 1 to discard output
Multiple actions on receipt of break are possible by setting this parameter to the sum of the
appropriate values for each action required.
For example, when parameter 7 is set to 21 (16 + 4 + 1), an X.25 interrupt packet is sent
followed by an X.29 indication of break and then parameter 8 is set to 1.
You should NOT set this parameter to 16 because the remote system would receive no
indication that a break had been issued and output to the DTE would therefore remain
permanently discarded. If you need to use the discard output option, use it in conjunction
with the X.29 break option so that on receipt of the X.29 break the remote system can re-
enable output to your DTE using parameter 8.
Option Description
8 Discard Output
This parameter determines whether data received during a call is passed to the DTE or
discarded. It can only be directly set by the remote system and may be used in a variety of
circumstances when the remote DTE is not able to handle a continuous flow of data at high
speed.
Option
Description
0 Normal data delivery to DTE
1 Output to DTE discarded
9 Padding after CR
Slower terminal devices, such as printers, may require a delay after each Carriage Return
before they can continue to process data. This parameter controls the number of pad
characters (NUL - ASCII 0) that are sent after each CR to create such a delay.
Option
Description
0 No padding characters after CR
1 - 255 Number of padding characters (NUL) sent after CR
10 Line Folding
