Terminal Profile Screen (Host-Based)
The Terminal Profile screenis used to define characteristics associated
with a terminal profile. Figure 7-2 shows a Terminal Profile screen
for host-based management. The PC-based Terminal Profile screen varies
slightly, see Figure 7-4 , Terminal Profile screen (PC-Based).

Fields
Terminal type The terminal type associated with the profile.
Three terminal types are supplied with MPE/iX:
terminal type 10, 18 and 24. See Terminal Types
earlier in this chapter.
Terminal type file Instead of using the default terminal types 10, 18,
name or 24, you may create your own terminal type and
save it in a file.To create a customized terminal
type, use the Workstation Configurator,
TTUTIL.PUB.SYS.Refer to the Customizing Terminal
and Printer Type Files with Workstation
Configurator (5959-2870) for more information.
Line speed The line speed, in bits per second. Supported
speeds are 300, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200, and
38400. (Line speed 38400 is supported for direct
connect devices on DTC 16iX/16MX and DTC 72MX only,
and the attached device must also support this
speed.This field does not apply for DTC 16RX access
to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management
environment; any value entered in this field for a
DTC 16RX will be ignored.)
Record width The number of characters for each record. For HP
terminals, the record width is usually 80 (the
width of the screen).
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.
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.
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 DTC does not disconnect the link after a 2
minute interval and the port remains open for
connection establishment. (This option is
supported on DTC 16iX/16MX and DTC 72MX only.)
This field does not apply for DTC 16RX access to an
HP 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based management
environment; any value entered in this field for a
DTC 16RX will be ignored.
Parity The type of parity that will be used if parity is
enabled for this profile.Choices are none, even,
odd, 0's, or 1's. This field does not apply for
DTC 16RX access to an HP 3000 in an MPE/iX
host-based management environment; any value
entered in this field for a DTC 16RX will be
ignored.
Speed/Parity Specifies whether auto speed and parity sensing
Sensing? will occur at logon for terminals using this
profile.This field does not apply for DTC 16RX
access to an HP 3000 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.
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 3000 in an MPE/iX host-based
management environment; any value entered in this
field for a DTC 16RX will be ignored.
NLIO device? Specifies whether native language devices will be
used.
Hardware handshake? Specifies whether hardware handshakewill 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 3000 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 1000. Use the [Go to CLASSES] key to
move to an Additional Device Class Names screen to
add more device classes.
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.
