-
Some of these parameters are specific to Terminal or Host operation.
-
Protocol Type
-
This drop-down list enables you to select the protocol type for this port.
-
NAU Name
-
This optional field enables you to assign a name to the port. NAU names must be unique to the unit.
-
Range: Up to eight alphanumeric characters
-
Initial State
-
This option defines the port's state at system startup. If disabled, an operator must manually enable the port.
-
Range: Enabled or Disabled
-
Carrier
-
This selects the type of carrier used by the port.
-
Range: Switched (modem), or Constant
-
Sense
-
This option determines whether the port emulates Data Communication Equipment (DCE) or Data Terminal Equipment (DTE).
-
Range: DTE or DCE
-
Speed
-
This value determines the speed at which the port operates. If the port is externally clocked, the speed is determined by the clocking device, providing it doesn't exceed the maximum rate.
-
Range: Dependent upon the attached devices
-
Parity
-
This parameter defines the parity used for every async character.
-
Range: None, Odd, or Even
-
Data Bits
-
This parameter defines the number of data bits used for every async character.
-
Range: 5, 6, 7, or 8
-
Stop Bits
-
This parameter defines the number of stop bits used for every async character.
-
Range: 1, 1.5, or 2
-
Idle Timer
-
This value defines the idle timer used to indicate an end-of-frame condition.
-
Range: 0 -- 5000 milliseconds
-
Tx Frame Gap
-
This parameter sets the minimum transmit idle time between frames. This enables the other end to detect the end-of-frame condition. To disable the Tx Frame Gap, set this value to zero.
-
Range: 0 -- 5000 milliseconds
-
Rx Forwarding Count
-
This value specifies the frame forwarding counter. After receiving the specified number of characters, the unit transports the frame across the network.
-
Range: 1 -- 1024 characters
-
Override LLC Retry Timeout
-
This option enables you to override the configured N2 parameter with a value of zero.
-
Range: Yes or No
-
Forward EIA Signals
-
If enabled, the async character stream is assembled into a packet and delivered to the network after a request to send/clear to send (RTS/CTS) toggle.
-
Range: Enabled or Disabled
-
Address Offset
-
This value defines the position of the device poll address in the async character stream.
-
Range: 0 -- 255
-
Record Terminal (Forwarding) Character
-
This value enables the port to recognize the designated record terminal character, if one exists.
-
Range: 01 -- FF hexadecimal
-
