None means that the 8 bits data length with parity none will be used.
Even means that the 7 bits data length with even parity will be used.
Odd means that 7 bits data length with odd parity will be used.
0’s means that 7 bits data length with parity forced to 0 will be used.
1’s means that 7 bits data length with parity forced to 1 will be used.
8eve means that 8 bits data length with even parity will be used.
(Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX only.)
8odd means that 8 bits data length with odd parity will be used.
(Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX only.)
Number of stop bits Specifies the number of stop bits to be used for asynchronous
characters. Enter a 1 to set 1 stop bit and 2 for 2 stop bits. The default
value is 1. Supported on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX only.
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 e3000 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 e3000 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 e3000 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.
