PAD Commands

PAD Commands

PAD command signals are grouped into the X.28 PAD command set (defined by CCITT X.28 recommendations) and include an extended command set providing additional functionality.

X.28 PAD Command Set

clr

Clears a virtual circuit (VC), disconnecting the VC from the remote host.

int

Transmits an interrupt to the remote host.

par?

Displays all of the X.3 parameters and their current values. The format for the display is:

X.3 parameter number: current value

prof [profile_id]

Interprets a prepared set of command signals from a profile. Profiles must be placed in the file /etc/x25/x3config.

reset

Resets a virtual circuit (VC). When a VC is reset, all data received (but unread) is lost, and all X.3 parameters are set to the default values (as they were defined before the VC was established).

set n:v [,n:v]

Sets the X.3 parameter n to value v. If there is a syntax error, padem responds with an ERR service signal and updates the diagnostic text. All changes take effect when a new VC is established, or immediately if one is already established.

set? n:v [,n:v]
