If routers are used to connect two DTCs, this field must contain an IP
address.
Line speed The line speed, in bits per second. Supported speeds are 300, 1200,
2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and 38400. Default is 9600. (Line speed 38400
is supported for direct connect devices on DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and
DTC 72MX only, and the attached device must also support this speed.)
Modem type Specifies the type of modem used in the connection.
0 means that modems will not be used.
1 means that a US modem will be used.
2 means that a European modem will be used.
3 means that a Five wires modem will be used. (Supported on
DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX only.)
4 means that a US In Out modem will be used. (Supported on
DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX only.)
5 means that a European Modem In Out will be used. (Supported on
DTC 16iX/DTC 16MX and DTC 72MX only.)
Modem behavior The DTC supports the following types of modem behavior which define
the protocol used to establish a modem link between the DTC port and
the attached device. Default is 0.
0 means no modem used.
1 specifies DCE modem behavior. Used for terminal connections. It
uses a 2 minute timer to establish the link, and the DTC may
disconnect if a carriage return is not received within a 2 minute
interval.
2 specifies DTE modem behavior. Used for termtype 26 supported on
MPE/iX for remote printer access.
3 specifies DCE modem behavior, except that it does not use a 2 minute
timer to establish the link. The port remains open for connection
establishment and the DTC does not disconnect the link after a 2
minute interval. (This option is supported on DTC 16iX/16MX and
DTC 72MX only.)
Data Length/Parity Specifies the type of parity and data length will be used using this
profile. The full list of supported data length with parity settings is as
given:
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.)
