1  –  DTE

    Modifies configurable characteristics of DTEPAD.

    Format

      SET DTE

1.1    /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 (]).

1.2    /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
    (@).

1.3    /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 DEC 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.

1.4    /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.

1.5    /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.

1.6    /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.

1.7    /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 (\).

1.8    /FLOW_CONTROL

       /FLOW_CONTROL (default)
       /NOFLOW_CONTROL

    Determines whether XON/XOFF flow control is enabled. By default,
    flow control is enabled.

1.9    /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.

1.10    /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.

1.11    /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.

1.12    /PARITY

       /PARITY=NONE (default)
       /PARITY=ODD
       /PARITY=EVEN

    Selects parity on the outgoing terminal line.

1.13    /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.

1.14    /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.

1.15  –  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.
