This parameter selects between standard asynchronous start-stop data (ASYNC), a
synchronous data stream with special protocol handling (HPENQ), and synchro-
nous bit-oriented data (SDLC/HDLC). The HPENQ parameter selects a set of
functions to improve throughput for terminals and CPUs observing the Hewlett-
Packard ENQ/ACK block mode protocol.

At this time, if desired, it is possible to configure the channel to an
ASYNC
or
HPENQ
channel. ALL parameter settings will be reset to the default settings for
the selected channel type.
If the
TYPE
is not changed (configured for
SDLC/HDLC
) the parameter values
chosen will not change.
Note
When a channel's type is changed from
ASYNC to SDLC/HDLC or vice versa, the
default parameter settings for that type are
loaded. Thus, even parameters that are
common between the two types (speed,
EIA propagation, CTS-RTS, or Flow
Control) could change.
