Chapter 6. DTE Port Configuration
Poll/Response Timeout (TIMEOUT)
For multi-point configurations, set the amount of time the FSU waits for a poll response before issuing another poll.
Poll/Response Timer Threshold (THRESHOLD)
For multi-point configurations, set the maximum number of response timeouts allowed before a session is terminated.
Slow Poll Ratio <N:1> (POLL RAT)
Determine how often devices on the Slow Poll List are polled. This list is automatically managed based on poll timeouts. Initially, all controllers are on the Normal list. When a controller times out a fixed number of times, it is moved to the Slow Poll list. A controller remains on this list until it responds properly to a poll.
The number entered is the number of times controllers on the Normal list are polled before controllers on the Slow Poll list are polled. Enter 1 to disable this option.
Protocol Address Table
Unit Address (UNIT ADDR)
For a multi-point connection, enter the unit address used for specific unit identification. The address may consist of a maxi- mum of seven alphanumeric characters. There must be one alphabetic character for this parameter so the FSU can use the upper case version for the port address and the lower case version for the select address.
LLC2 SSAP (LLC SSAP)
Defines a point-to-point connection on the network. For each bisync SDLC connection, the SSAP of one FSU should match the DSAP on the other FSU.
LLC2 DSAP (LLC DSAP)
Define a point-to-point connection on the network. For each bisync SDLC connection, the DSAP of one FSU should match the SSAP on the other FSU. See the section SNA/SDLC with Local Spoofing in the chapter Applications for a configuration example which demonstrates the SSAP and DSAP arrangement.
