ID

This is the polling address by which the PU is polled by the device.
Each time a PU is added, the configuration editor automatically assigns this value. If you choose to change the assigned value, make certain it matches the actual controller.
FF is reserved for dial-up connections.
Range: C1 -- FF

NAU Name

This optional field enables you to assign a name to the PU. NAU names must be unique NAUto the unit.
Range: Up to eight alphanumeric characters

Initial State

This field sets the PU's initial state at system startup.
Range: Enabled or Disabled

Type

Click inside this field to select the PU type you are configuring.
Range: T1, T2.0, T2.1, or T4
If you configure a PU Type T4, the following rules apply:
¤      There can be only one T4 PU per line
¤      Station roles are forced to primary for HSDLC and secondary for TSDLC
¤      4096 is the maximum frame size that can be used
¤      Only module 8 is supported
¤      XIDs are passed end-to-end
¤      SDLC supports lines speeds up to 256-Kbps
¤      Host Out dial is not supported

¤      The HSDLC side uses the CU address from NCP
¤      The TSDLC side uses the configured CU address in the unit (addresses 00, FE, or FF are not supported).
¤      Multi-link transmission groups are not supported

XID

This field enables you to assign a PU XID. The unit uses XIDs to establish and negotiate PU application sessions. If the PU cannot respond to an XID request from the Host, the unit uses this assigned XID value.
To solicit an XID from a PU, or if your PUs are type 1 or 2.1, leave the XID field blank.
Range: 8 hexadecimal numbers

GPA

This field enables you to assign a group poll address to the PU. The host and the PUs it polls must have matching GPAs.
Range: 01 -- FE

Maxout

Range: 1 -- 7 frames

Destination

Click inside this field to select the appropriate destination. If the destination does not appear in the list, you may add it though the Destination Editor.
If you are using XID mapping, and the unit is answering the call, you may leave this field set to None.
If the PU is originating the call or you are using MAC/SAP addressing, you must select a destination.
Range: Any device in the pull-down list

Port

Select the port through which the unit communicates with the destination device.
Range: 1 -- 8

DLCI

Enter the primary DLCI the PU uses to contact the destination device. If your connection is back-to-back, enter 32.
If you do not specify a DLCI, the unit sends a broadcast test frame over all available routes to determine the best route. To reduce the cost of these broadcasts, define the primary DLCI.
Range: 16 -- 1023
