Virtual Ports
-
Specify a dial backup trigger only for the active backup port -- the one that dials out to initiate the line.
-
-
Do not specify a backup trigger on the passive backup port -- the one connected to the modem that answers the call.
Virtual Ports
-
This parameter enables you to define virtual ports that should be monitored for failures. If a failure occurs on the specified DLCI, a dial backup connection will be initiated.
-
Click on the Add button to define a virtual port entry.
-
The Trigger ID is automatically assigned and cannot be changed.
-
Range: Port: 1 -- 8
Range: DLCI: 16 -- 1023 -
LMI on Frame Relay Port
-
This parameter enables you to define the Frame Relay port that should be monitored for loss of LMI. If LMI is lost on this port, a dial backup connection will be initiated.
-
Range: Enabled or Disabled, Port: 1 -- 8
-
Frame Relay Port
-
This parameter defines the frame relay port that should be monitored for failures. If a failure occurs on the specified port, a dial backup connection will be initiated.
-
Range: Enabled or Disabled, Port: 1 -- 8

Timer Options
-
Typically, the default values should meet your backup requirements.
-
Dial Delay Timer
-
This value defines how long the unit waits before initiating a dial backup connection. A zero value, indicates an immediate dial backup initiation.
-
Range: 0 -- 9999 seconds
-
Dial Inactivity Timer
-
This value defines how long the unit waits before automatically disconnecting the dial backup connection when there is no activity on the line.
-
Range: 0 -- 9999 seconds
-
Treat LLC Control as User Data
-
This option defines whether or not the unit considers LLC control frames (i.e., TEST, XID, RR, RNR, REJ, DISC, UA, DM, FRMR) as user data.
-
If the backup port does not treat these control frames as user data, an idle LLC2 session triggers the inactivity timer and disconnects the SNA session.
-
Range: Enabled or Disabled
-
Dial Suspend Timer
-
This value defines the suspension duration following a disconnect. This time must elapse before the next dial up process initiates.
-
Range: 0 -- 9999 seconds
