Supplemental Software User Guide
9
(Cabletron device parameter
Maximum Retransmissions
). Valid values are
40-9999
(milliseconds).
LPDARESID
is the LPDA Resource ID, which defines LUs on the PU. The value must match the
LOCADDR defined on VTAM. Valid values are
0-255
.
AUTOCALL
causes automatic calling between SNA ports when the controller becomes active. The
valid values are
ENABLE
and
DISABLE
.
Auto Retry Tout
is equivalent to the Cabletron device parameter
Autocall Retry Time
, which is the time
between autocall retries. Valid values are 15-255 (seconds).
Auto Retry Ct
is equivalent to the Cabletron device parameter
Autocall Retry Count
, which is the
maximum number of times an autocall will be sent. Valid values are
0-255
. Note that
a value of
0
allows indefinite retries.
Local Sub
is the subscriber address of the local (to the Cabletron device) end of an SNA con-
nection.
Remote Sub
is the address of the remote (to the Cabletron device) end of an SNA connection.
Response Timer (T1)
is used to detect the failure to receive a required acknowledgment or response from
the remote link station. The valid values are
0-250
(x 100 milliseconds).The link
station will start the timer when it transmits one of these:
●
an Information LPDU.
●
a Command LPDU with the P bit set to B'1.' (If this LPDU is sent while the timer
is already running, the link station will reset and restart it.)
The link station will reset T1 when it receives one of these:
●
A REJ LPDU, provided a Command LPDU with P bit set to B'1' is not out-
standing.
●
A Response LPDU with the F bit set to B '1.'
●
An Information or Supervisory LPDU with an N(R) greater than the last N(R)
received and less than or equal to the line station's V(S), provided a Command
LPDU with P bit set to B'1' is not outstanding.
If additional LPDUs are set from the remote link station after the local station has reset
T1, the timer will be restarted if acknowledgments of or responses to those LPDUs are
outstanding. If no acknowledgments/responses are outstanding, the link station will
start the inactivity timer. (See "Ti" later.)
If T1 expires and acknowledgments/responses are still outstanding, the link station
will send one of the following, then restart T1:
●
A Supervisory LPDU with the P bit set to B'1,' to solicit remote link station
status.
