Chapter 7 123
Terminal and Printer Profiles
Terminal Profile Screen (Host-Based)
Speed/Parity
sensing? Specifies whether auto speed and parity sensing will
occur at logon for terminals using this profile. 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.
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.)
Allow :HELLO
logon? Specifies whether the :HELLO logon will be accepted
from the terminals.
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. The default value is Y. This
function is also known as “software handshake”.
NLIO device? Specifies whether native language devices will be used.
Reset HP
terminal? Specifies whether or not the terminal will be reset after
the DTC is powered on or after the connection is
aborted or re-established (for HP terminals 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.
Device class
names 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 associated
with a profile; the total number of supported,
configured device classes defined in all profiles is 2000.
Use the
[Go to CLASSES] key to move to an Additional
Device Class Names screen to add more device classes.
