Book C
metric
This asynchronous/synchronous port parameter defines the hop count to
the remote end of the asynchronous or synchronous line when the mode
parameter is set to slip or ppp. Modify this parameter only if you want
the RA 6300 to use a route other than the SLIP or PPP interfaces to the
remote end. Allowable values are 1 to 15. The default is 1.
min_unique_hostnames
This Annex parameter determines whether or not you can identify a host
in the host table by entering a minimal string rather than the full host
name. A Y enables minimum uniqueness, an N disables it. The default
is Y.
mode
This asynchronous port parameter sets the mode for access to an
asynchronous port.
Table C-25 describes the valid options; the default
is cli.

Option Description
arap Allows a port to perform as a network interface
using ARAP.
auto_detect Allows a port to identify an incoming packet’s protocol and
to convert to IPXCP, PPP, ARAP or CLI.
cli Allows a port connected to a terminal or incoming modem
access to the CLI. The CLI provides access to the network
and connections to other hosts via the telnet, connect,
rlogin and tn3270 commands.
The tn3270 command is available only if the option_key
parameter is set to the correct value for the RA 6300.
