Async Terminal Commands

[Gnn], [Z], [Y], [R], [N]

The following commands can be entered in Command mode. (For a list of commands, type help [Enter].)

STAT – Get connection status.

CLR – Clear Connection.

PAR? n1,n2,n3 – Reads value of 1 or more async PAD profile parameters (n1 = 1st parameter, n2 = 2nd, etc.). Standard parameters (see page 12-3) are 1–22 .

SET? n1:m1,n2:m2,n3:m3 – Sets and reads async PAD profile parameters ( n1 = 1st parameter, m1 = new value).

PROF – Sets standard set of parameters. CCITT profile 90 is available.

RESET – Reset connection.

INT – Send interrupt packet.

SET n1:m1,n2:m2,n3:m3 – Sets one or more async PAD profile parameters ( n1 = 1st parameter, m1 = new value).

HERLP – Provides more information.

?– Same as HERLP.

– Selection parameters; used to represent facilities in Call Request packets (unless they are specified in autocall Call Requests):

[Gnn] = CUG (nn is the CUG number)

[Z]= Group Send

[Y]= Priority

[R]= Reverse Charging

[N]= NUI

Port – displays the RLP and port number to which you are connected, and the called and calling addresses.

Placing a Call from an Async Terminal

One way to place a call is simply to enter the calling address (subscriber ID) of the destination DTE. (There must be a record for that subscriber ID.) User data and/or facilities (in any combination) can be included, as described below.

To place a call using facilities and user data, enter the data in the format: f,f,f-addressDdata or f, f, f-addressPdata, where:

fis the letter(s) representing the desired facility(s): Gnn = CUG (nn is the CUG number)

Z = Group Send Y = Priority

R = Reverse Charging N = NUI

address – is the called address,

1800 specifications

Cabletron Systems, a leading player in network management and telecommunications solutions during the late 20th century, introduced several innovative products that played a crucial role in shaping enterprise networking. Among these were the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and the FRX1800, which delivered advanced features aimed at enhancing network performance, security, and scalability.

The Cabletron FRX6000 was designed as a robust multi-layer switch, ideal for large-scale enterprise environments. It supported extensive routing capabilities, allowing organizations to manage traffic efficiently even under heavy loads. The FRX6000 boasted high throughput rates and low latency, making it suitable for demanding applications. With support for various network protocols, including IP, IPX, and AppleTalk, its adaptability made it a versatile choice for diverse networking needs. Moreover, security features like VLAN support and Access Control Lists (ACLs) provided enhanced protection against potential threats.

Moving to the FRX4000, this model offered a balance between performance and cost-effectiveness. The FRX4000 maintained many of the essential features of its larger counterpart while catering to medium-sized enterprises. It provided Layer 3 routing and could handle multiple simultaneous connections, ensuring seamless communication across departments. The modular design allowed for easy upgrades, enabling businesses to expand their network infrastructure without significant overhauls. This made the FRX4000 an attractive option for organizations looking to optimize their network investments.

Lastly, the FRX1800, designed for small to medium businesses, focused on simplicity and ease of use while still incorporating powerful network management capabilities. Its user-friendly interface made it accessible for organizations lacking extensive IT resources. The FRX1800 provided essential functionalities such as Integrated Layer 2 switching and routing, network monitoring, and basic security features, ensuring that even smaller companies could maintain efficient, reliable networking without overwhelming complexity.

All three models utilized advanced technologies, including a high bandwidth backbone and state-of-the-art switching architecture, to enable fast and reliable data transfer. They also supported Quality of Service (QoS) mechanisms, allowing businesses to prioritize critical applications and ensure consistent performance across the network.

In summary, the Cabletron FRX6000, FRX4000, and FRX1800 were pivotal in enhancing network capabilities, providing organizations with scalable, secure, and high-performance options tailored to their specific needs.
