Configuring Async PAD Profiles

PAD Profile Parameters

12-2
An 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
PAD Configuration Menu (or
database contains one profile,
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 not
change profile 90, since this is a CCITT standard.
To add or change a profile, press
the desired profile name (1–10 uppercase characters) to display the first of two screens
of parameters, listed in
second screen. Press
[PgUp]
return to the Node Configuration Menu.
When creating a new profile, be careful that you are not creating a duplicate
of an existing profile. When assigning a profile to a port, the software scans
the parameters of the specified profile and all other existing profiles, and if
there are duplicates, it loads the profile that was created first.
