Enabling port options

Enable terminal or printer port options parameter definitions

Enable Auto Speed/

Parity Sensing

Mark this box with an x or X to have the DTC check speed and parity. When a

connection is set up by a terminal, the DTC automatically checks the speed and

parity (none or even parity only). If necessary, the DTC reconﬁgures the port. Note

that only None or Even parity settings are recognized; Auto Speed/Parity sensing

does not work for any other terminal parity settings.

By default, Auto Speed/Parity Sensing is disabled and the line speed and parity

settings you speciﬁed for the port are used.

Enable DTC User

Interface Timeout

Mark this box with an x or X to have the DTC enable the DTC User Interface

Timeout. When the DTC User Interface Timeout is enabled, the time that it takes

the terminal user to connect to the DTC is monitored. The connection is

automatically shut down if the DTC senses no activity at the DTC prompt for a

predeﬁned period.

This timeout is active only while the user is in the DTC user interface and applies

only to users with switching enabled. Non-switching users do not see the DTC user

interface, because they are connected directly to their designated host system.

Once the connection to a host system has been established, the DTC no longer

monitors idle time.

By default, the DTC User Interface Timeout is disabled.

Enable Port Mark this box with an x or X to enable a port. If this box is not marked, the port is

disabled, and no communications can pass through.

By default, the port is enabled.
