The fields on this screen have the following meanings:
Link Description
A textual description used to identify this WAN Link.
Link Administrative Status
Sets the Administrative Status of this WAN Link. The options are “Enabled,” which will allow
the link to operate and “Disabled,” which will disable the link without deleting it.
Inactivity Timer
Sets the time period (in seconds) after which the connection will be terminated if it is not
carrying useful data. “Useful data” refers to forwarding packets (routing information), but not
to encapsulator maintenance frames. An entry of zero (0) specifies no disconnection due to
inactivity. The Inactivity Timer is disabled for outgoing backup calls, and should be disabled
by the user for incoming calls that are used to backup.
