Physical Interface
is the hardware interface. On an AST LP, this is always RS-232. On an RLP, the
interface is determined by the associated Line Interface Card (LIC) and the cable
attached to the port's I/O box connector. The LP record identifies the LIC, and only
the valid interfaces will be displayed as choices in the Port record. LICs are shown in
parentheses:
3
= RS-232 (RS-232)
4
= (not currently supported)
5
= V.35 (V.35)
6
= RS-449 (RS-422)
7
= RS-530 (RS-422)
8
= X.21 (RS-422)
Blocked Port Flag
causes the port to be enabled (
N
) or disabled (
Y
) at node IPL. The port will remain in
that state until this parameter is changed (and sent to the node) or an on-line enable/
disable is performed. (See "
Disabling and Enabling Ports" on page 18-1.)
Line Speed Code
specifies the data transmission rate in bits per second, and the clock speed when the
port is a physical DCE. If this port is not configured to generate clock, specify the line
speed that corresponds (as closely as possible) to the configuration of the device con-
nected to the port. Line speed codes are as follows. (Some speeds have two corre-
sponding codes because they are defined in different parts of the software. Either code
can be specified.)

The maximum speed for an RS-232 interface on an N74/7500 port is
19.2K.
Outstanding Frames
is X.25 value K, the maximum number of sequentially numbered I-frames that can be
waiting for acknowledgment. If this number is exceeded, no more frames will be
transmitted until an acknowledgment is received.
N2 Maximum Retransmissions
is X.25 value N2, the maximum number of times the node will attempt to send an I-
frame after a Retransmission Period expiration. A larger value for this parameter
