The CONFIGURE_PAD program is used to configure a MEMOTEC SP-830 PAD
for operation with the Series 200 IOC. When the program is started, it
will prompt the user with:

Options are:
    0 => Exit
    1 => Manual Configure [ Any port ]
    2 => Auto   Configure [ IOC port ]
    3 => Auto   Configure [ Environment port, CTS (hardware) flow control ]
    4 => Auto   Configure [ Environment port, XON_XOFF flow control ]
    Enter option :

At this point, no interaction with the PAD has occured and the user
may use either of the modes to continue. When manual mode is selected,
the user is placed in direct communication thru the IOC and is expected
to have some knowledge of the PAD SCL (Supervisory Command Language) and of
PAD operation in general. To exit manual operation and return to the main menu
prompt type <CNTL>C. When using manual mode, remember that some configuration
parameters only take affect after WARM START of the PAD. Also remember that
to get the PADs attention after a COLD START takes the sequence ". . . <CR>"
(period,period,period,RETURN). If the service banner does not appear 
immediately after invoking the manual mode and still does not appear after
the ...<cr> sequence, check the cable and PAD. The LED cooresponding to the
port to which the IOC is connected should be on. If all is in order, the PAD
can be powered off then on to force a WARM START and the operation tried
again. If there is still no response from the PAD, the user may try a
COLD START (the blue button in the back of the PAD), however this will require 
that all ports be reconfigured.

If Auto Configure is selected, the program will prompt the user for several
parameters. The program will ask the user if VERBOSE mode is desired.
In VERBOSE mode, the dialogue between the IOC and PAD is displayed on the
console. After responding to this question, the program will ask for the number
of the port which is to be configured. In most cases this is the same as
the port to which the IOC is connected. It is possible to configure the other
ports if desired from one IOC. The program next asks for the DTE address.
This is the address supplied by the X25 carrier, consult with the customer to
get this number. Note that this number also needs to be reported to RATIONAL
for remote debugging and remote diagnostic support. Finally the program asks
for the level 3 packet size (in bytes). After entering this number, the
program will set up several parameters in the PAD and end with a WARM START
to activate the newly set parameters (WARM START takes about 5 seconds, do not
be alarmed at the pause near the end of the setup sequence). If all is 
successful, the program will announce that the port has been configured.
At this point, other ports may be configured if desired.
If auto configuration fails, the user may correct the problem by
entering manual mode or with a COLD START.

When using CTS flow control, the COMM distribution must have the HARDWARE
flow control switch(s) properly set. For XON_XOFF flow control, be sure the
environment has set the terminal port for "XON_XOFF" flow control and that the
flow control characters for that port are DC1 and DC3. If other flow control
characters are substituted, the PAD must also be configured with the other
characters, see the SCL section of the PAD manual and use the manual
configuration mode to change the XON and XOFF characters. Note that these are
global characters for the PAD - they take effect for all ports.«nul»
