Modifies configurable characteristics of DTEPAD.
Format
SET DTE
1 /BREAK
/BREAK=break-character
Selects the break character. The break character is used to
generate a break on lines that expect a break rather than a
carriage return. To generate a break, press CTRL/break-character.
You can select the break character from any ASCII character
between @ and z, except C, M, Q, S, Y or the left bracket ([).
You cannot select a character currently defined as either the
command character (see the /COMMAND Subtopic) or the escape
character (see the /ESCAPE Subtopic).
By default, the break character is the right bracket (]).
2 /COMMAND
/COMMAND=character
Selects the command character.
You can select the command character from any ASCII character
between @ and z, except C, M, Q, S, Y or the left bracket ([).
You cannot select a character currently defined as either the
break character (see the /BREAK Subtopic) or the escape
character (see the /ESCAPE Subtopic).
By default, the command character is the commercial "at" sign
(@).
3 /DIAL
/DIAL=(NUMBER:number[,MODEM_TYPE:modem-type])
Allows a modem attached to the outgoing terminal line to be
autodialed using the autodial protocol of that modem. The
NUMBER keyword is the telephone number to be autodialed and
is a required parameter.
Before you can dial a new number, you must first log out of the
current remote system.
The MODEM_TYPE keyword is optional. It can be used to specify
any of the following modem types:
o DF03 (default)
o DMCL (any modem that uses the DIGIGAL Modem Command Language)
o DF112
Each modem-type requires a specific modem dialer code. Check
with your system manager which modem dialer codes are installed
in your system.
4 /ECHO
/ECHO
/NOECHO (default)
Determines whether the terminal input is echoed by your local
system. By default, all echoing is performed by the remote system.
5 /EIGHT_BIT
/EIGHT_BIT (default)
/NOEIGHT_BIT
Determines whether the outgoing terminal line supports 8-bit or
7-bit characters. By default, 8-bit characters are supported. If
you specify /NOEIGHT_BIT, then 7-bit characters are supported.
6 /ERROR_ACTION
/ERROR_ACTION=CONTINUE (default)
/ERROR_ACTION=EXIT
Specifies the error action, either CONTINUE or EXIT.
When an error is detected on the outgoing terminal line, the
error is reported to the local system and an error message is
displayed on your terminal. If the error action is CONTINUE,
then communication with the remote system continues
uninterrupted. If the error action is EXIT, then the local
system immediately exits from the remote system.
7 /ESCAPE
/ESCAPE=character
Selects the escape character. The escape character is used to
quit DTEPAD by pressing Ctrl/escape-character.
You can select the escape character from any ASCII character
between @ and z, except C, M, Q, S, Y or the left bracket ([).
You cannot select a character currently defined as either the
break character (see the /BREAK Subtopic) or the command
character (see the /COMMAND Subtopic).
By default, the escape character is a backslash (\).
8 /FLOW_CONTROL
/FLOW_CONTROL (default)
/NOFLOW_CONTROL
Determines whether XON/XOFF flow control is enabled. By default,
flow control is enabled.
9 /INIT
/INIT[=filespec]
/NOINIT (default)
Sets the configurable characteristics of DTEPAD according to
values contained in an initialization file.
If you use the /INIT qualifier and omit the file specification,
DTEPAD translates the logical name DTEPAD$INI and finds the
appropriate initialization file.
10 /LOG
/LOG[=filespec]
/NOLOG (default)
Controls whether a log file of the session is kept. By default,
logging is disabled.
If you use the /LOG qualifier and omit the file specification,
then the log information is written to the default log file,
DTEPAD.LOG.
11 /MAX_BUFFERS
/MAX_BUFFERS=number-buffers
Specifies the maximum number of receive buffers. Receive buffers
are buffers specially allocated to receive incoming data from the
modem port.
The minimum number you can specify is 20. There is no upper limit
to the number you can specify, but the actual number of receive
buffers will be limited by your Buffered I/O quota.
By default, the maximum number of receive buffers is 100.
12 /PARITY
/PARITY=NONE (default)
/PARITY=ODD
/PARITY=EVEN
Selects parity on the outgoing terminal line.
13 /READ_DELAY
/READ_DELAY=delay
Specifies the modem port read delay in milliseconds. The modem
port read delay is the time interval during which data in the
modem port is transferred into receive buffers at the terminal.
By default, the modem port read delay is 50 milliseconds. This is
also the minimum value.
14 /SPEED
/SPEED=(output-rate,input-rate)
Sets the baud rate at which the terminal receives and transmits
data. If the input and output rates are the same, specify
/SPEED=rate.
Not all terminals support different input and output baud rates.
For specific information on baud rates for your terminal, consult
the manual for that terminal.
The default transmission rates are installation dependent.
The valid values for input and output baud rates are as follows:
300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200.
15 – Examples
1. DTEPAD> SET DTE/BREAK=g
In this example, the letter 'G' is defined as the break
character. Note that DTEPAD is not case-sensitive.
2. DTEPAD> SET DTE/ECHO
In this example, the terminal port is set so that echoing is
performed by the local system.
3. DTEPAD> SET DTE/SPEED=4800
In this example, the input and output baud rates are both set
to 4800.
4. DTEPAD> SET DTE/LOG=myfile.log
In this example, logging of the remote session is enabled and
the log file MYFILE.LOG is specified.
