04, Idle Timer Delay
allows selection of an interval between successive characters received from the user's
device, which when exceeded will cause the PAD to terminate assembly of a packet
and forward it as defined in Recommendation X.25. If expiration of the timer occurs
before the forwarding size of the data packet is reached, the PAD forwards the data
packet to the remote DTE.
05, Ancillary Device Control
allows flow control between the PAD and the user's device. The PAD indicates
whether it is ready to accept characters from the user device by transmitting special
characters that are used to switch DTE transmission on and off.
0
= no use of XON/XOFF.
1
= use XON/XOFF in data transfer.
2
= always use XON/XOFF.
06, PAD Service Signal
provides the user's device with the ability to specify whether or not, and in what
format, PAD service signals are transmitted. Values (can be added) are:
0
= no service signals will be transmitted.
1
= service signals will be transmitted in standard format.
4
= prompt signal will be transmitted in standard format (asterisk).
5
= service and prompt signals will be transmitted in standard format.
Some common service signals are listed on
page A-3
.
07, Receive Break Signal
allows the selection of the operation of the PAD after receipt of a break signal from
the user's device.Values (can be added) are:
0
= no action.
1
= PAD will send an interrupt packet to the remote end but will remain in data
transfer mode.
2
= PAD will reset the virtual call and remain in data transfer mode.
4
= PAD will send an indication of a Break message to the remote end and
remain in data transfer mode.
8
= PAD will escape from data transfer mode and enter command mode.
16
= PAD will discard output.
08, Discard Output
allows a PAD to discard the contents of user sequences in packets on request, rather
than disassembling and transmitting these to the user's device.
09, Padding After
determines how many (if any) NULL padding characters will be added after a carriage
return character.
10, Line Folding
provides for automatic insertion of appropriate format "effectors" in the character
stream transmitted to the user's device. The number indicates maximum characters per
line.
