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. The possible values are 1 or 2 stop bits. This is applicable
only for DTC 72MX, DTC 16MX and DTC 16iX. This field does not
apply for DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
management environment and 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.)
Initially spooled? Specifies whether the device that uses this profile will be initially
spooled when the system is rebooted. If the device was added
dynamically, the device can be spooled any time after the device is
created.
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. This function is also known as “software
handshake”. This field does not apply for DT C16RX access to an
HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management environment, and any
value entered in this field for a DT C16RX will be ignored.
NLIO device? Specifies whether native language devices will be used.
Device class 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.
NOTE If you are changing profile characteristics, you can see which ldevs and
DTCs will be affected by the change by pressing the
[Assoc Ldevs]
function key on the profile screen corresponding to the profile you are
changing. After pressing this key, you will see a list of all ldevs using
this profile in the DTCs configured in DTS.
