The value of TRANS sets the operation to be transparent When the parity treatment is transparent the data is not modified in either direction The value of EVEN sets the operation to be even parity towards the destination endpoint s and stripped parity towards the connection source of this endpoint The value of ODD sets the operation to be odd parity towards the destination endpoint s and stripped parity towards the connection source of this endpoint The padcrif lt NONE RMT PT BOTH gt parameter refers to reference 13 of the X 3 parameter list This is the action to be taken when a CR is received in the data stream from the remote IP endpoint A value of NONE indicates that there is to be no LF line feed insertion A value of RMT will insert an LF following a CR whenever it is sent towards the remote IP endpoint A value of PT will insert an LF following a CR whenever it is sent towards the destination endpoint s A value of BOTH will insert an LF following a CR in either direction The padfwd lt NONE CR CRDROP SEMI ALL gt option specifies reference 3 of the X 3 parameter list This is the forwarding condition outside the PAD timer which will forward data towards the destination endpoint s A value of NONE indicates that there are no character forwarding conditions A value of CR indicates that a carriage return will forward any accumulated data including the carriage return A value of CRDROP indicates that a
8. carriage return will forward any accumulated data but not including the carriage return A value of SEMI indicates that a semicolon will forward any accumulated data including the semicolon A value of ALL indicates that all data is to be forwarded immediately The ALL option has the effect of generating single user character forwards towards the destination endpoint s The GRPx values specify selected groups of forwarding characters GRP1 forwards on ESC BEL ENQ and NAK GRP2 forwards on DEL CAN DC2 GRP3 forwards on ETX EOT GRP4 forwards on HT LF VT and FF Multiple forwarding conditions are allowed simultaneously Setting padfwd to a value aggregates with the previous value of padfwd The padfwd none is required to clear the forwarding conditions The padcmap lt ON OFF gt option provides the automatic case mapping from lower case to upper case When the option is set to ON all lower case characters are automatically converted to upper case When OFF no transformations are performed The padapi lt TELNET RAW gt option provides a means of selecting the PAD virtual circuit to use raw protocol The raw protocol is essentially asynchronous but without the benefit of Telnet RFC encapsulation It is used for applications that do not implement the Telnet RFC The default for this option is to use the Telnet encapsulation The padcug lt CUG Number parameter allows the virtual circuit connection to be protected by closed
