system. You will see a DTC prompt that is specified on
the DTC User Interface screen Figure 8-3 in Chapter 8,
“Additional DTC Configuration.” Connection to other
systems on the LAN can be made by entering connect
system name at the DTC prompt (refer to Chapter 8,
“Additional DTC Configuration,” for more information
on the DTC user interface). If switching is disabled, the
terminal will be automatically connected to the host
defined in the “Default destination” field.
Enable keep
alive? Specifies whether “keep alive” mechanism is to be
activated. When there is no data transfer between the
and the DTC and the system, then the “keep alive”
mechanism is used to detect if the connection is still
there. The default value is Y (enable). Enter an N to
disable the field. Not applicable for DTC 48 without the
memory extension. This feature is only applicable for
ARPA (TCP/IP) connections.
Automatic
connection? Specifies whether a connection is automatically
established to the system specified in the “Default
destination” field. Enter a Y to enable automatic
connection. The default is N. If enabled, the DTC senses
the modem signal’s rise and automatically connects the
device to the value of “Default destination”.
“Allow :HELLO logon?” field on Terminal Profile
screen must be enabled. Field is valid for modem ports
only (“Modem behavior” field on Terminal Profile
screen must be set to 1, 2, or 3).
Save port
config in
binary? Specifies whether the port configuration parameters
data length and parity settings will be maintained
when binary mode is selected. If set to Y, then the port
configuration remains unchanged when binary mode is
selected. If set to N, then the data length is set to 8 and
parity is set to none when binary mode is selected. The
default is N. Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and
DTC 72MX only.
Default
destination Specifies the default system to which the terminal will
connect. This destination will be used if the c[onnect]
command is entered without a system name at the DTC
prompt or if automatic connection is enabled. Field
must be completed if switching is disabled or if
automatic connection is enabled. Field can be a node
name in the format name.domain.organization or an IP
