PAD Services
Remote PAD Support (x29server)
The name of the corresponding master PTY driver must also exist in a file beginning with “ptym” (format: ptym [filename]) located in the /dev/ptym/ directory:
| Wildcards are not allowed in these file and path names. |
| If the pty_slave_fname field contains an entry, |
| x29server considers any communication initiated by |
| this entry to be restricted to exclusive use by the TTY/ |
| PTY (master/slave) pair. The call is refused if the |
| TTY/PTY pair does not exist, is already in use, or |
| cannot be accessed (permission should be set to 666). |
logging | Optional. Specifies the logging level for each call. Log |
| information is stored in the file |
| /var/x25/log/x29server/x29logXXXXX, where XXXXX |
| is the process ID of the current x29server child |
| process. Logging can be at levels 0, 1, 2, or 3. Level 0 is |
| no logging and the default is level 1 (error logging). |
| Level 2 is error and warning logging. Level 3 is error, |
| warning, information, and status logging. |
reverse_charge Optional. Specifies reverse charge options for the calling address. Possible settings are: disabled (or disable), enabled (or enable). With the default value (disable), reverse charge calls will not be accepted. When reverse charging is enabled and is requested by the remote PAD or system, the call is accepted and is charged to the local system. You must also configure the X.25 interface card to allow reverse charging (refer to “Configuring Remote System Access” in Chapter 3 for instructions on how to use SAM to enable reverse charging) in order for reverse charging to work with PAD services.
size_parity Optional. Legal values are 8_none (the default), 7_even, and 7_odd. Specifies the character size and parity setting of the remote PAD and terminal. This parameter is useful when the asynchronous port of the PAD cannot be configured in 8 bits. In this case, this parameter must be set to match the remote PAD and terminal settings. x29server will set the PTY pair correctly so that
