Appendix C Async Terminal Operations; Command And Data Transfer Modes - Cabletron Systems SmartSwitch 6000 User Manual

Command and Data Transfer Modes

Before establishing an end-to-end link, an async terminal must make a connection to
the async PAD, as follows:
1. Once the FRX/FRM, async terminal, and any modems in the link are powered on,
do this at the terminal:
If a specific line speed is configured in the Port record, go to step 2.
If the async PAD port is configured (in the Port record) for autobaud and
parity auto-detect, press
If the port is configured for autobaud only, press
Data bits and parity settings must match throughout an
async connection.
2. If the port is configured (in the Port record) to not require login, go to step 3. If
login is required, enter (when prompted) the login password defined in the Async
PAD Login record (described on page 10-7).
3. The FRX/FRM PAD banner (described on page C-5) will be displayed at the top
of the terminal screen. The terminal is now in
next paragraph.
The async terminal has two modes of operation. Local operations at the async terminal
are performed in
Command
PAD interprets all input from the terminal as data, and transmits it to the remote
device.
If this is a PVC connection, you can enter
by entering the PAD recall character specified in the Async PAD profile. If this is an
SVC connection, you must send a Call Request packet to enter
(See "Placing a Call from an Async Terminal" page C-3.) Either way, once in
mode, you can toggle back and forth between the two modes by entering the
Transfer
PAD recall character.
