Parameter 2: Echo

This parameter establishes whether or not characters
transmitted from the local DTE device to the PAD is echoed
back to the local DTE device by the PAD. For example, if echo
is enabled and the letter P is typed, the PAD transmits the
letter P back to the terminal.

Parameter 3: Selection of Data Forwarding Characters

Characters received from the local DTE device are stored by
the PAD until the data forwarding character is received, or
some other data forwarding condition has occurred. Parameter
3 designates the character or set of characters used to initiate
the forwarding of the data stored by the PAD. Before the data
forwarding character is transmitted to the PAD, the data stored
by the PAD can be edited if parameter 15 is enabled.

Other conditions that cause the PAD to automatically forward
the data stored by the PAD are as follows:

• If editing is disabled (parameter 15 = 0) and the PAD receives

enough data to fill a packet, one full packet is forwarded.

• If editing is enabled (parameter 15 = 1) and the PAD receives

enough data to fill the PAD editing buffer, the PAD forwards
one full packet.

• If the maximum assembly timer expires before any other data

forwarding conditions occur, the data currently stored by the
PAD is forwarded. The maximum assembly timer is started
on receipt of the first character being packeted by the PAD
from the DTE and expires after 15 minutes.

• If editing is disabled (parameter 15 = 0) and the idle timer

delay expires (as set by parameter 4), the data currently stored
by the PAD is forwarded.

• If the PAD receives a break and the action to be performed

upon receipt of a break is nothing (parameter 7 = 0), the data
currently stored by the PAD is forwarded.

• If the PAD receives the first character of a PAD command

signal after escaping from the data transfer mode, the data
currently stored by the PAD is forwarded.

• If the PAD receives a set, read, or set and read PAD message

from the remote DTE, the data currently stored by the PAD
is forwarded.
