Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices (32022-90051)

Chapter 7 141
Terminal and Printer Profiles
PAD Terminal Profile (Host-Based)
Record (AEOR) is set. If this field is Y then the data
forwarding parms #3 and #4 setting established at
connection time is always used.
Data
forwarding
parm #3
and #4 This setting tells the PAD when a packet must be sent
to the PDN. Parm #3 selects the set of characters that
will signal the PAD to forward data to the PDN. Parm
#4 sets the idle timer in 1/20 second increments. The
idle timer will signal the PAD to forward data if the
time between successive characters from the terminal
exceeds the idle timer value.
When the data forwarding parameter is 10 and a
normal read is sent, parm #3 is 2 (data forwarding
character is a carriage return) and parm #4 is 0 (no idle
time set). In VPLUS mode, parm #4 is 10 (idle timeout
is 1/2 sec).
If the data forwarding parameter is 1 or 2, parm #4 is 1
(idle timeout is 1/20 sec) or parm #4 is 2 (idle timeout is
1/10 sec), respectively, and parm #3 is 0 (no data
forwarding character).
If the data forwarding parameter is 0, parm #3 is 127
(all characters are data forwarding) and parm #4 is 0
(no idle time set).
The following four parameters will be ignored when a
profile is configured for non-nailed devices: PAD test
requested, send initial profile, X.3 setting requested,
and data forwarding parm #3 and #4. For non-nailed
devices, the first three parameters will be set to Y and
the last parameter set to 0. The four parameters will
also be ignored for connections made through public
PADs because the connections are made to non-nailed
ldevs.
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 used for a printer
profile; the total number of supported, configured
device classes defined in all profiles is 2000. Use the
[Go To CLASSES] key to go to an Additional Device
Class Names screen for entering additional device class
names.
