Table 4-4 Terminal PAD Profiles
Profile Definition Usage
1 PAD Test
Init profile
X.3 setting
Data Forward default
Default terminal profile.
Does not need to be entered in the CALL User Data.
Direct replacement for the “Terminal” devicetype of releases
prior to 12.0.
Ensures backward compatibility with DTC 2.0 to 10.5.
5 PAD Test
Init profile
X.3 setting

Recommended for more performance of the Telnet path
(X.29 SERVER profile compatibility) or for iX character

host (for example, HPEDIT).
The profile loads the X.25 line with many, small packets
each time the application needs a termination character
other than CR.
The PAD must support 3:127.
9 PAD Test

X.3 setting
Data forward 4:1
Used in data transfer.
Recommended when you need more performance in iX
character mode applications which need to send each
character to the host.

each time the application requires a termination character
other than CR.
