Overview

The PAD redirects selected COM ports' input and output to and from the Eiconcard, which in turn uses its X.25 services to send and receive data over an X.25 network. The PAD configuration program allows you to configure one or more PAD ports simultaneously. Global or individual COM port parameters are configured with the PAD configuration program. Local and remote X.3 parameters can also be configured on a global basis or on an individual per-port basis.

Note

NOTE

  • The Eicon PAD service can control a maximum of 250 ports ranging from COM 1 to COM 999. However, each XPAD session uses its own X.25 virtual circuit (VC) so make sure that your X.25 connection is specified with enough VCs for all your users.

  • If you are only using the PAD with RAS, you should leave all PAD configuration settings at their default values. This does not apply if you will be using PAD with more than one Eiconcard port configured for X.25. In this case the Port settings for the particular PAD ports may have to be changed
