Configuring Systems for Terminals, Printers, and Other Serial Devices (32022-90057)

Terminal and Printer Profiles
PAD Terminal Profile (Host-Based)
Chapter 7
128
Terminal type file name A terminal type file created with the Workstation
Configurator utility (TTUTIL.PUB.SYS), to be associated with the
profile instead of the system-supplied terminal type. Enter the fully
qualified file name (filename.group.account). Refer to the Customizing
Terminal and Printer Type Files with Workstation Configurator for
more information on TTUTIL.PUB.SYS.
Record width The number of characters for each record. For HP terminals, the record
width is usually 80 (the width of the screen).
Allow :HELLO logon? Specifies whether :HELLO logon will be accepted from the
terminals.
Reset HP terminals? 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).
NLIO device? Specifies whether native language devices will be used.
PAD test requested? Specifies whether the DTC will set and read several X.29
parameters at connection establishment time to determine the PAD’s
behavior.
Send initial profile? Specifies whether at connection establishment, the PAD is set
to default X.3 terminal parameter values.
X.3 setting requested? Specifies whether changes to X.3 parameters may be made
after connection establishment.
Forced data forwarding? Specifies whether the Data Forwarding Parms #3 and #4
will be allowed to change after connection establishment. If this field is
N then data forwarding parms #3 and #4 can change if the port changes
from a normal read to VPLUS mode or if an Alternate End of 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
