A.2.3 Virtual PAD Configuration
The Virtual PAD Port Configuration menu is accessed from the Port menu by typing in <10> and then
selecting <1> Configuration. The Virtual PAD Port Configuration menu is shown in Figure A-8.
Connection Mode2 can be set to 2-wire or 4-wire. The Profile parameter is the same as that described above
for an async port. An advanced menu is also available to set additional parameters for the Virtual PAD port.
This menu is accessed from the initial configuration menu by pressing <CTRL-O>. This screen is similar to
the one shown in Figure A-7 for async ports except that it has fewer parameters.
Inactivity timer Timer for inactivity, after which the port is logged off
automatically.
0 0 (disable), 1-30
min (applies to both
Tx and Rx traffic),
31-255 min
(applies to Tx traffic
only)
Forwarding Character Characters that indicate that data should be placed
in a packet and forwarded. Used in addition to any
characters defined by X.3 parameters 3 and 4.
None 0x00 - 0x7F
Wait for DSS The Waiting for Data Set Signals option prevents
tail-ending onto the last call by guaranteeing that a
new call cannot arrive at the port until the terminal
user, modem, or host computer port has
acknowledged the unit’s signal drop by dropping its
own signal. The available values depend on the
value of Port signals option.
N N - disabled
Y (Yes)
DSS flow control Specifies that RTS/CTS data set signals be used. If
DSS flow control is set to Y, the PAD forces X.3
parameters 5 and 12 to values of 0 (i.e., flow
control using XON/ XOFF is not possible).
