Table 10-2. Switching Parameters

Option Default Description

1. Connect Protocol Dedicated Selects the communication protocol used. The protocol must be

compatible with the attached device. There are three options:

Dedicated — This option is used for terminals or computer ports which

can operate on data activity only. This protocol must be used on-line

driver data channels.

DTR (Data Terminal Ready) — This option is used for terminals or

acknowledge call requests. This allows computer ports to delay incoming

calls until ready. This option is also useful for tail-end leased line async

modems where DSR or CD is crosswired to DTR.

Note: Any DTR-configured terminal should use

$CMD to enter the Command Facility.

Auto — This option is used with dialup modems and will emulate a dialup

modem to a computer port.

If DTR or Auto Connect Protocol is chosen, EIA Control must be enabled

(option 2 of the async Channel Features menu. See Section 9.3,

Asynchronous Channels, and Table 9-11, Asynchronous Channel

Features, for more information.

2. Unbalanced Rates On This option enables/disables connections of ports which have dissimilar

baud rates (different speeds).

3. Call Inhibit No If this option is configured to Yes, the port cannot make a connection

request. The port will only be a receiving port.

4. Receive Inhibit No If this option is configured to Yes, the port cannot receive a connection

request. The port can only initiate calls. It will only be a calling port.

5. Character Set ASCII Defines whether an ASCII or non-ASCII character set is defined. If non-

ASCII is selected, either a Destination Node/Class (option 8 of this menu)

must be configured or Call Inhibit (option 3 of this menu) must be yes. Do

not configure a password for a non-ASCII port.

Note: If the data rate for the port is configured at

50 or 75 bps, Non-ASCII should be chosen.

6. Matrix Switching Enable The option enables/disables the ability of the channel to originate or

receive a matrix switching call connection. Matrix switching is making a

connection by specifying a node ID/channel number.

Note: If matrix switching is disabled, you will not be

able to connect to the Command Facility

Main Menu via $CMD.
