Local PAD Emulation (padem)

Data Transfer Mode

If the X.121 address or the symbolic address of the remote host is specified, padem begins execution in data transfer mode.

In data transfer mode, typed text is sent to the remote host and text received from the remote host is displayed at the local terminal. You can re-enter command mode to issue a padem command by pressing Ctrl P.

If the VC is cleared at any time (by the remote host or by the X.25 network), padem returns to command mode or exits if the remote host address was at the HP-UX prompt.

Configuring Local PAD Emulation

NOTE

See the man pages for padem for its syntax and parameters.

 

 

You can configure local PAD emulation by modifying parameters in the pad_em and host_table sections of the /etc/x25/x29hosts file. Examples of these sections are given below. See Appendix B, X.25 Configuration Files and Examples, for an example of the x29hosts file.

Parameter Descriptions

remote_x121 Mandatory. This is the X.121 address of the remote system. Only numbers 0 through 9 are legal; wildcards or special address types are not allowed. If this entry exists, any call to the remote X.121 address will use the associated fields (logging, reverse_charge, profile, and name).
