■If the PMS Protocol Mode is transparent (also known as Names protocol), set the Seconds before PMS Link Idle Timeout to 20 and the Milliseconds before PMS Link Acknowledgement Timeout to 500.

If the PMS Protocol Mode is normal, set the Seconds before PMS Link Idle Timeout to 20 and the Milliseconds before PMS Link Acknowledgement Timeout to 300.

If the PMS supports the ASCII data mode, enter a y in the ASCII mode field, set the Seconds before PMS Link Idle Timeout to 20, and the Milliseconds before PMS Link Acknowledgement Timeout to 500.

■The PMS Link Maximum Retransmissions field indicates the number of times that the switch will retransmit a message to the PMS in response to a negative acknowledgment or send an inquiry for acknowledgment from the PMS before giving up on the message. Valid entries are 1 to 5.

■The PMS Link Maximum Retransmission Requests field indicates the number of times that the switch will allow the PMS to request acknowledgment for a message that it sent. Valid entries are 1 to 5.
