Kentrox AI296 manual Prevents the PAD protocol from passing breaks upstream, To the terminal

AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide

Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Protocol Processing Modules

Defaults

Passes breaks upstream

Passes breaks downstream

Sends no reply to breaks

Optional Parameters

-U	Prevents the PAD protocol from passing breaks upstream.
-D	Prevents the PAD protocol from passing breaks downstream.
-R	Causes the PAD protocol to reply to X.25 breaks.
-7:21	Causes the X.3 parameter to behave like X.25. This option sends an
	interrupt packet (an indication of a break PAD message) and discards data
	to the terminal.
-M	Enables Macstar compatibility.

Example

PAD -UProvides PAD break handling, but prevents the break from being propagated upstream.

XXX PAD

The packet assembler disassembler is a device that collects data from a group of terminals and outputs the data in packets (data organized in a special format). It can also take the data packets from a host and turn them into a character stream that can be transmitted to the terminals. The XXX PAD is defined by the following values:

zX.3—Specifies the parameter for terminal handling functions such as baud rate, flow control, character echoing, and other functions for a connection to an X.25 host.

zX.28—Specifies the user interface for locally controlling a PAD.



Note: The communication server is not a PAD.

zX.29—Specifies a protocol for setting the X.3 parameters via a network connection.

XXXPAD calls can be made from AI296 with a PAD shell command or by defining an alias that routes a call to the destination XXX PAD call. An XXX PAD destination is defined like an X.25 SVC destination with the addition of XXX as the called protocol.

When XXX is used as a call protocol, it can take arguments to set the X.3 parameters, similar to the set command used within the pad shell command.
