Managing Remote Access Concentrators Using Annex Manager
Appendix A RAC Parameters
A-48
forwarding_count controls RAC port behavior for received characters. If you enter a number other
than
0
, the port does not forward characters until it receives the number of
characters you entered. If you enter
0
, the port uses values in
forwarding_timer
. If
you use
forwarding_count
and
forwarding_timer
parameters, the RAC uses the value
that occurs first.
Setting
forwarding_count
to
1
or
forwarding_timer
to
0
can have a severe
effect on the network when heavy serial input occurs.
forwarding_timer sets the amount of time in ten millisecond intervals that can elapse before a RAC
forwards received data. If new data arrives before the timer expires, the RAC
resets the timer. If you enter
0
, the RAC uses
5
, which is the Annex Manager
default value.
Setting
forwarding_count
to
1
or
forwarding_timer
to
0
can have a severe
effect on the network when heavy serial input occurs.
group_value specifies the LAT protocol remote group codes that can access local services
offered by a RAC. To access these services, the RAC must have at least one
enabled group code that matches the group codes of the service. You can enter
all
,
none
, a series of numbers separated by commas, (e.g.,
1
,
5
,
7
) or a range of
numbers separated by dashes (e.g.,
1, 5, 200-255
).
