Chapter 14. RPQs
707023-003
LANSYS Delay in Milliseconds - This RPQ allows the customer to insert a delay for LANSYS
to wait before sending a response to the client workstation. This delay is neccessary for some
Ethernet attached device platforms when configured with certain protocol stacks to allow the
client workstations to work with these slower stacks. Otherwise the client workstation may
not be ready for the response sent by the 1174. The symptom seen when this is a problem, is
that the Ethernet client workstation can not establish a session with the 1174. This problem is
normally associated with slower PCs and ODI protocol stacks.
5550 Printer Sharing - This RPQ allows IBM 5550 devices supporting the printer sharing
function to route prints to other 5550 devices attached to the same 1174. IBM 5550 printer
sharing is available in Japan only.
Coax Poll Rate - This RPQ increases the polling rate for active coax devices. That is, each
active coax device will be polled more frequently than it would normally be polled. This RPQ
is used to allow the 1174 to work with certain device types that will time out if they are not
polled within a certain time limit. Enabling this RPQ may be necessary to allow some DFT
devices to work. This RPQ should be enabled to support StorageTek LMUs. This RPQ is
equivalent to the ‘Enhanced Coax Polling’ option in the regular configuration panels.
Do not map DFT LUs - The 1174 automatically maps LUs provided to coax DFTs beginning
with LU 02 and incrementing for each LU supported by the DFT. The actual LU assigned to
the DFT from the host may be different and is determined on the 1174 LU assignment panel.
Enabling this RPQ will cause the 1174 to pass the host LU defined entry to the DFT device
instead of causing the remapping. Note that the DFT device must be configured to use the LU
numbers being passed by the 1174 or the sessions will not be established.
Deferred Keyboard Restore - Enables sessions connected to a 3270 host to remain inhibited
(X clock) until an end bracket or change direction is received, even if a keyboard restore is
received while in receive state.
Attached Processor Feature - This RPQ allows an ASCII host to send a command sequence
that will initiate a Recorded RPB sequence the same as if the user had initiated the sequence
from the keyboard. See Section 28 for more details on this feature.
ASCII Display Time Clock - Provides the time clock to display on ASCII displays. Allows
ASCII displays attached to LINCS to operate similar to TWX type devices (as an IBM 3708
replacement).
ASCII Backspace/Delete Key - If enabled, the Backspace key routine bypasses the checks
for DOC mode and INSERT mode and always does the backspace/delete. If the terminal
emulation does not support the backspace/delete function the ADU can be used to define a
key. Also a “fast delete” has been implemented to speed it up.
ASCII Shift Lock - Makes the Caps Lock key on an ASCII keyboard act as a Shift Lock
function on a 3270 keyboard. Caps lock forces all alphabet characters to shift to upper case.
Shift Lock forces all keys to use the shifted characters and symbols.
Filter IPX Packet Type 20 - Normally enabled, it is now possible to disable the propagation
of IPX type 20 frames. Propagation of these frames can cause broadcast storms in some
networks. This frame type is common in WindowsNT environments.
