Terminal and Printer Profiles Each port needs to be assigned a profile. A profile
defines a set of characteristics for a terminal, printer, or another serial
device. A profile can be of five types: terminal profile, printer
profile, PAD terminal profile, PAD printer profile, or Host port
profile. See Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other
Serial Devices manual for more information on the characteristics
determined by the profiles, and a list of the profiles that are supplied in
the sample configuration file.
If the characteristics provided in the sample profiles are different from
those required by the terminals and printers connected to your DTCs,
then you can define new profiles.
It is suggested that you use default profiles TR10D96 for direct connect
terminals and PR18D96 for direct connect printers or PR22D24 for HP
printers with status checking. For PAD terminals and printer, use the
defaults TR24PAD and PR26PAD, respectively. For UPSs, use the default
profile UP10D12.
The name of the profile can be up to eight characters long and must
start with a letter, followed by letters and numbers. At any one time,
up to 1024 profiles can be configured per system.
