Enabling port options
11
By default, switching is enabled.
Enable Hardware
Handshake
Mark this box with an x or X to have the DTC enable hardware handshaking.
Hardware handshaking provides a way to control the flow of data between a
terminal and the system it is connected to. Refer to the DTC Cabling and Racking
Guide for more information on hardware handshake cabling.
Hardware handshake is not available if attached device is set to European Modem.
By default, hardware handshaking is disabled.
Enable Automatic
Connection
Mark this box with an x or X to enable automatic connection from this port to the
system identified as the default destination (see “Enable Dedicated Printer” on
page 79). The default destination field must be defined in the port parameter
configuration screen. The connection is made as soon as the modem signal rises.
By default, automatic connection is disabled.
If you have set modem behavior to None in the modem port parameter configuration
screen, the automatic connection option is not available.
Enable Dedicated
Printer
Mark this box with an x or X to enable a printer on this port to be available only to
the system identified as the default destination (see “Default Destination (IP
Address or Internet Services name)” on page 87). The default destination field is
defined in the Printer Port Parameter Configuration screen.
If the dedicated printer option is enabled, the default destination port parameter
must be defined with a system name or IP address. If you want several systems to
access this printer, then disable the dedicated printer.
If the dedicated printer option is disabled and the default destination is defined, the
default destination will not be accessible to the printer port.
By default, the dedicated printer is disabled.
Enable Enq/Ack Flow
Control
Mark this box with an x or X if the host port is connected to an HP 3000 MPE V
system. Do not enable Enq/Ack flow control for systems that do not use this form of
flow control.
This setting is enabled by default.
Enable Keep Alive When there is no data transfer between the DTC and the system, a mechanism called
keep alive is activated to detect if the connection still exists.
To avoid extra traffic on the LAN, you can disable this function (the default setting).
