Parameter 7 Action on Receipt of Break from Terminal


Parameter 7 is bit-mapped; binary bit values represent the following actions when the break signal is received by the PAD.

Parameter 7 supports the following values:
Values       				0-31                                       

5 (Factory Setting)     Send interrupt and indicate break          
Parameter 7 supports the following bit values:
Bit Values   Description                                                            

1            Send an X.25 interrupt packet to the remote system                     

2            Send an X.25 reset packet to the remote system                         

4            Send an X.25 indication of break packet to the remote system           

8            Escape from the data transfer state to the PAD command state           

16           Set PAD parameter 8 to 1 (discard output)                              

                                                                                    
Note: If bit 2 of S53 is set, using the break signal to escape from the data transfer state is not possible.

Note: Adding bit values provides multiple functionality, e.g., Set 7:17 would enter bits 1 and 16. Bits 1 and 16 enable an X.25 interrupt packet to the remote system and discard the output.
