PAD Services

Local PAD Emulation (padem)

name

Optional. This is the name of the programmatic

 

interface used for call setup. If this entry does not exist,

 

the default name associated with /dev/x25_0 is used.

 

This name must match the programmatic access name

 

(also called name) in the X.25 configuration file.

logging

Optional. Specifies the logging level that applies to all

 

calls made during this session. The log file is

 

$HOME/plog.aXXXXX, where the last five characters are

 

from the process ID of padem. If this parameter is not

 

specified, the logging level is set to the default level of 0

 

(no logging). Logging levels are: 1 = error logging, 2 =

 

error and warning logging, 3 = error, warning,

 

information, and status logging.

reverse_charge Optional. Specifies the reverse charge option for call setup. Possible settings are: disabled (or disable) and enabled (or enable). The default value is disabled. When reverse charge is enabled, padem sends a reverse charge request with all call request packets.

 

profile

Optional. Describes the X.3 configuration for the login

 

 

session. The X.3 default values are defined in the code

 

 

(programmatically) and cannot be altered by users.

 

 

These default parameters comply with the 1984 profile

 

 

0 specification for a PAD device. If profile X is in

 

 

x29hosts and profile Y=X is in x3config, padem uses

 

 

profile X. If there is no profile in x29hosts, and

 

 

x3config contains profile 0, padem uses profile 0. In all

 

 

other cases padem uses the hard-coded default values.

 

 

padem only operates in line mode for X.3 configuration.

 

host_table{}

Optional. Defines symbolic host names for remote

 

 

X.121 addresses. The first entry defines the symbolic

 

 

name and the second entry is the remote X.121

 

 

address. If an X.121 address is given, it must also exist

 

 

in the remote_x121 field in the pad_em section of the

 

 

x29hosts file.

 

 

 

NOTE

You do NOT need to have pad_em {} entries in the

 

 

x29hosts file. You can specify all of the above

 

 

parameters at the command line when you run padem.
