PAD Daemon Listen Database

In x25tool, the parameters for the PAD Data Listen Database can be accessed through the Services menu.

The parameter values are stored in the configuration file: /etc/opt/SUNWconn/x25/paddconf.

The PAD daemon handles incoming PAD calls. Some parameters are available on a per-host basis as well as globally. The per-host parameters override any global settings.

Global Defaults

Log PAD calls

When set to Yes, information about each PAD call made is logged to the file /var/opt/SUNWconn/x25/x29serverlog. This file can become very large. If you have problems with disk space, check the size of x29serverlog and, if necessary, delete it.

Accept Incoming PAD calls

Setting this to No prevents this system from accepting incoming PAD calls. The system can still make outgoing calls.

Initial Command

The command that the PAD daemon invokes automatically when a connection is established with an incoming PAD caller. By default, the initial command is /bin/login.

Welcome Banner

A string that the PAD daemon displays to incoming PAD callers. Enter 80 or fewer alphanumeric (including whitespace) characters. If you do not set a string, the default is Solstice X.29 Terminal Services. The new Welcome Banner comes into effect the next time you restart the PAD Daemon.

PAD Parameters

Native

In native mode the default parameter settings are: echoing disabled, data forwarding timeout enabled, no line folding, and local editing disabled. If you set this to Customize in PAD Daemon Listen Database, the X.3 Parameters window is activated. See "X.3 Parameters" for more information.

Non-native

In non-native mode the default parameter settings are: echoing on, data forwarding disabled, no line folding, and editing disabled. If you set this to Customize in PAD Daemon Listen Database, the X.3 Parameters window is activated. See "X.3 Parameters" for more information.

Listener Criteria

Called Address

Specifies the pattern of digits the PAD daemon uses to match the called address on incoming PAD calls. The options as shown in Table 7-6 are:

Table 7-6 Called and Calling Address Parameters

Parameter	Meaning
Starts with	The PAD daemon accepts calls from PAD callers that have called addresses that have leading digits that match the string of digits you enter here.
Matches	The PAD daemon accepts calls from PAD callers that have called addresses that exactly match the string of digits you enter here.
Don't care	This is the default parameter. The PAD daemon accepts calls from any PAD caller, regardless of its called address. You do not enter a string of digits with this parameter.
Pattern	Allows the use of standard wildcard characters in order to match on part of an address. Select this option to use the style of addressing used by SunNet X.25 7.0.

If the Called Address is not set to Don't Care, you also need to use the Address is parameter to specify the type of called address.

Address is:

Specify the type of the called address. If the called address is not a DTE address (the default), click on NSAP.

Calling Address

Specifies the pattern of digits the PAD daemon uses to match the calling address on incoming PAD calls. The options are explained under Called Address, above. You also need to use the Address is: parameter to specify the type of the calling address. If the Called Address is not set to Don't Care, you also need to set the Address is: parameter to DTE or NSAP extension.

Call User Data

Specifies the pattern of digits the PAD daemon uses to match the Call User Data on incoming PAD calls. By convention this is 01. Do not delete the 01 that appears in this field unless you are sure that your network uses a different value to distinguish incoming PAD calls. If this field is blank, or if the value entered is invalid, your machine will not be able to receive PAD calls.

Initial Command

The command that the PAD daemon invokes automatically when a connection is established with an incoming PAD caller. By default, the initial command is /bin/login.

Welcome Banner

A string that the PAD daemon displays to incoming PAD callers. Enter 80 or fewer alphanumeric (including whitespace) characters. If you do not set a string, the default is Solstice X.29 Terminal Services. The new Welcome Banner comes into effect the next time you restart the PAD Daemon.
