Configuring Async PAD Profiles
An async PAD profile is a specific set of X.3 parameters whose values define the oper-
ation of the device connected to an async PAD port on a SmartSwitch 1800. Different
profiles contain the same parameters, but with difference(s) in the values.
To display a list of existing PAD profile names and descriptions, press [A] at the Async
PAD Configuration Menu (or [A], [A], [F], [A] from the Main Menu). Note that the
database contains one profile, 90 , which is a CCITT profile used for connecting ter-
minals to the PAD.
Changing a value in a profile in effect creates a new profile.
Unless you want to affect every device assigned that profile,
create a new profile instead of changing an existing one. Do not
change profile 90, since this is a CCITT standard.
To add or change a profile, press [B] at the Async PAD Configuration Menu and enter
the desired profile name (1–10 uppercase characters) to display the first of two screens
of parameters, listed in
Table 12-1 . Press [PgDn] at the first screen to display the
second screen. Press [PgUp] at the second screen to return to the first screen, or [F3] to
return to the Node Configuration Menu.
When creating a new profile, be careful that you are not creating a duplicate
of an existing profile. When assigning a profile to a port, the software scans
the parameters of the specified profile and all other existing profiles, and if
there are duplicates, it loads the profile that was created first.
