• The timeout function works when a packet is stored for
forwarding in any subscriber with TTL capability, which will
decrement the TTL time for the packet it is storing. When TTL
time has expired, the packet is aborted. This function does not
work with non-TTL (pre-Version 2.1) subscribers. The TTL
feature works best when the majority of subscribers, or the
subscribers that are most heavily used, have the feature in the
firmware. Call your AES representative for upgrade information.
Default time for Check-In Packets is 00 hours, 30 minutes. DO
NOT enter a greater than 24 hrs 00 mins. Entering a time of 00
hours and 00 minutes deactivates the time-to-live function for that
packet type. The shortest allowed TTL time is 00 hours, 10
minutes. TTL can also be set for other packet types:
• Zone Alarm Packets
• Status Packets
• Zone Restoral Packets
• AES-IntelliTap Packets
• Trouble / Trouble-Restoral Packets
The default time for the 6 packet types above is 00, i.e. the time-to-
live function is deactivated for these packets. Entering anything
greater than 00 HRS and 10 MINS will enable the Time-to-Live
function. Enter the data for each type, click [OK] to send.
To confirm the data, press
<Alt>
+
<N>
to query the subscriber for
Packet Life settings. When the TTL parameters packet has been
received back, check this screen again.
