Disconnect Duration
is the length of time the PAD will drop the modem signals after logout of the user
(whether caused by a time-out or user command). For a dial-in line, this should be set
to something greater than
0
, to ensure that the line does not remain physically con-
nected after a timeout or logout. For a leased or directly connected line,
Disconnect
Duration
should be
0
, to avoid disconnections.
Timeout if No Login
if set to
Y
, starts the disconnect timer the moment the user enters login state; e.g., when
DSR is asserted on the modem, or when a direct-connect user logs out. As long as the
disconnect timer has not expired, the user can continue to attempt to log in. On a dial-
in line, if the timer has expired and
Disconnect Duration
is not
0
, a physical disconnect
will be initiated. (The modem signals will be dropped.)
If the user logs out, the disconnect timer will be ignored, and the line will immediately
be disconnected.
This parameter should be
N
for a leased line; otherwise, the PAD banner and prompt
will continue to be periodically output to the screen. (This is harmless, but unnec-
essary.) This parameter is automatically disabled on a PVC connection.
Timeout if No Call
if set to
Y
, starts the disconnect timer as soon as the user logs in or a virtual circuit is
cleared, and the PAD is ready to receive commands from the user. The timer is reset
every time the port receives or transmits a call.
This parameter is automatically disabled on a PVC connection.
Timeout if No Data
if set to
Y
, starts the disconnect timer as soon as a virtual circuit is connected. The timer
is reset every time the port receives or transmits a character. If
Y
is specified and the
user has escaped from the data transfer state (by pressing
[Ctrl] [P]
), any data sent to
the port will not be output through the port.
When the disconnect timer expires, the software will check for any data waiting to be
output, as well as the state of the user. If there is data waiting and the user has escaped
from data transfer state, the user will be returned to data transfer state, and the dis-
connect will be canceled.
This parameter is automatically disabled on a PVC connection.
Disconnect if Clear Recvd
determines whether the user will be logged out if he/she receives a Clear Request from
the network. Also, if Disconnect Timer and Disconnect Duration are set to values
other than
0
, the modem signals will be dropped when the user is logged out.
Disconnect if Clear Sent
determines whether the user will be logged out if he/she receives a Clear Request from
the network. Also, if
Disconnect Timer
and
Disconnect Duration
are set to values other
than
0
, the modem signals will be dropped when the user is logged out.
