PAD Terminal Profile (Host-Based)
The PAD Terminal Profileis used to define the characteristics associated
with a PAD terminal profile. Figure 4-4 shows a PAD Terminal Profile
screen, note that this screen is used for host-based management only.

Figure 4-4. PAD Terminal Profile Screen (Host-Based)
Fields
Terminal type The terminal type being associated with the
profile. The only valid terminal type for PAD
terminal profiles is terminal type 24.
Terminal type file A terminal type
name 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 manual (5959-2870) for more
information on TTUTIL.PUB.SYS.
Record width The number of charactersfor 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 parametersat connection establishment time to
determine the PAD's behavior.
Send initial Specifies whether at connection establishment, the
profile? PAD is set to default X.3 terminal parameter
values.
X.3 setting Specifies whether changes to X.3 parameters may be
requested? made after connection establishment.
Data forwarding parm This setting tells the PAD when a packet must be
#3 and #4 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 last parameter
set to 0. The four parameters will also be ignored
for connections made through public PADs because
the connections are made to non-nailed ldevs.
Device class names Device classesprovide a means of accessing devices
associated with a profile. Each device class name
is up to eight alphanumeric charactersbeginning
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 1000. 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.

NOTE You can use the [Compute Byte] key to print a
message telling you what the profile byte
value is, given the current setting of the
PAD selectable profile fields on the current
profile screen. The PAD selectable profile
fields are: PAD test requested; Send initial
profile; X.3 setting requested; Data
forwarding parm #3 or #4. The profile byte
value can be used when starting a PAD
connection as a way to force a particular
profile configuration. If used, the logon
setting will override the NMMGR configuration
of the PAD selectable profile fields for that
port. See "PAD Profiles and Access
Passwords" later in this chapter.
