Terminal and Printer Proﬁles

What is a Proﬁle

• Whether the user is allowed to enter the :HELLO command to logon

to the HP 3000.

• Whether the terminal will use hardware handshake. (Supported on

DTC 16iX/ 16MX and DTC 72MX only.)

• The type of parity that will be used if parity is enabled.

• Speciﬁes whether auto speed and parity sensing will occur at logon

for terminals using this proﬁle. (Does not apply to the DTC 16RX).

• Speciﬁes whether the terminal will be reset after a DTC is powered

on or after the connection is re-established. (Does not apply to the

DTC 16RX).

• Number of stop bits to be used for asynchronous characters.

(Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX only.)

• Whether to enable ﬂow control between the DTC port and the

connected device.

• Speciﬁes whether native language devices will be used.

• The device class names associated with the terminal.

The terminal proﬁle also deﬁnes additional information used for

host-based terminal switching. All terminal switching parameters are

optional.

• The terminal port name. Usually used for extended switching

connections.

• Specify whether the DTC user interface timeout is active.

• Specify whether switching is enabled for the port.

• Specify whether the DTC will establish a connection automatically

when the modem lines are raised.

• The maximum number of sessions allowed from a terminal.

• Specify whether “keep alive” mechanism is to be activated to detect

if connection is still there. (Does not apply to the DTC 48 without

memory extension.)

• Specify whether port conﬁguration parameters; data length and

parity, haveto be forced when binary mode is selected. (Supported on

DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX only.)

• Specify destination node if automatic connection is enabled.

• Specify the character that will return the terminal user to the DTC

user interface.

Terminal proﬁle characteristics are described in detail under “Terminal

Proﬁle Screen,” later in this chapter.
