12-2 FRX4000/FRX6000 4.0 User Guide, Rev 01Configuring Async PAD ProfilesAn async PAD profile is a specific set of X.3 parameters whose values define the oper-ation of the device connected to an async PAD port on an FRX4000 or FRX6000. Dif-ferent profiles contain the same parameters, but with difference(s) in the values.To display a list of existing PAD profile names and descriptions, press [A] at the AsyncPAD Configuration Menu (or [A], [A], [F], [A] from the Main Menu). Note that thedatabase contains one profile, 90, which is a CCITT profile used for connecting ter-minals to the PAD.Changing a value in a profile in effect creates a new profile.Unless you want to affect every device assigned that profile,create a new profile instead of changing an existing one. Do notchange profile 90, since this is a CCITT standard.To add or change a profile, press [B] at the Async PAD Configuration Menu and enterthe desired profile name (1–10 uppercase characters) to display the first of two screensof parameters, listed in Table 12-1. Press [PgDn] at the first screen to display thesecond screen. Press [PgUp] at the second screen to return to the first screen, or [F3] toreturn to the Node Configuration Menu.When creating a new profile, be careful that you are not creating a duplicateof an existing profile. When assigning a profile to a port, the software scansthe parameters of the specified profile and all other existing profiles, and ifthere are duplicates, it loads the profile that was created first.PAD Profile ParametersTable 12-1 Async PAD Profile ParametersParameter Valid Values Default ValueProfile Description 1–31 uppercase chars. none01, PAD Recall 0–126 102, Echo 0 (no) / 1 (yes) 103, Data Forwarding Char 0–127 12604, Idle Timer Delay ( sec) 0–255 005, Ancillary Device Control 0–2 106, PAD Service Signal 0–15 107, Receive Break Signal 0–31 208, Discard Output 0 (no) / 1 (yes) 009, Padding After 0–255 (characters) 010, Line Folding 0–255 011, Speed n/a–determined in Port configration12, Flow Control 0 (no) / 1 (yes) 1continued on next page
