13-2 FRX8000 3.0 User Guide, Rev 02Configuring Async PAD ProfilesAn async PAD profile is a specific set of X.3 parameters whose values define the oper-ation of the async device. Different profiles comprise the same parameters, but withsome difference(s) in the values.Profile names are specified in two files: Async PAD Logins (see page 13-8) andPort Configuration (see page 13-10). If the async subscriber is required to log in (asdetermined in the Port record), the profile in the Logins record will become effectiveat login; if login is not required, the profile in the Port record will be used.Two CCITT standard profiles, listed below, exist in the database when the FRX8000software is shipped to the customer. If neither is suitable for your application, you cancreate a new one.STD90 – CCITT simple profile, used for connecting terminals to the PAD. This isthe default profile in the FRX8000 software.STD91 – CCITT transparent profile, used for connecting hosts 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 or 91.When creating a new profile, be careful that you are not creatinga duplicate of an existing profile. When assigning a profile to aport, the software scans the parameters of the specified profileand all other existing profiles, and if there are duplicates, it loadsthe profile that was created first.To add or change a profile, press [C], then [C] again from the Network Selection Menu(or [A], [A], [C], [C] from the Main Menu). When prompted, enter:l Profile name, up to ten characters.l Any other requested information, noting Table 13-1.
