The no activity timeout is a timer that monitors activity on the Command
Facility port and disconnects the channel if the time is exceeded. The time
out is programmable for 160 minutes, or 0 for none.
Once these and any other parameters you require have been configured, you
can press M to return to the Command Facility Main Menu.
Reset
A reset is defined as a restart to a known point. During configuration a reset
establishes the new point. To clear a channel, node or link that might be
hung up, a reset may be necessary. Resets interrupt the normal flow of
traffic, so choose the one which is the least invasive. For instance, to clear
one channel, perform a channel reset, instead of a node reset which
interrupts the whole network.
There are two ways to perform a node reset on the unit, through the
Command Facility Main Menu (software reset) and from the front of the unit
(hardware reset).
Notes:
D
Performing a reset on a channel or a node terminates the Command
Facility on that port if you entered via $CMD.
D
Resetting the unit (cold or warm) resets the status/statistic counters.
All previous statistics are lost.
Hardware Reset on NetRunner Unit
The hardware reset is performed at the front of the unit. The actual
procedure depends on which model you have.
