Compression
Enables/disables PPP compression. When enabled, one of the following standards is
automatically negotiated:
•Ascend
• MPPC
•MS-STAC
•STAC 1
•STAC 3
Default: Disabled.
Echo Request
Enables/disables the use of PPP echo requests. Some systems do not properly respond to PPP
echo requests. To connect to such systems, PPP echo requests should be disabled.
Default: Enabled.
Idle Timer
Defines the idle timer for this profile, which controls how long a data call should stay
connected when no traffic is being sent or received. When the idle timer expires, the call is
disconnected.
Default: 120 seconds.
Range: 10-900 seconds. Specify 0 to disable automatic disconnection.
This parameter automatically changes to 900 seconds when Manual Dialing (page 68) is
enabled.
Max Retries
Defines the maximum number of connection attempts this profile is allowed to make. When
this limit is reached, the profile is placed in the ‘fa iled’ state. A backup profile, if defined, will
be used on the next dial-out attempt.
To automatically reset the profile, enter a Profile Restore Del ay on the Profile page. To reset the
profile manually, dial it or reset the Eicon1530.
Default: 25. Range: 0-250.
Retry Delay
Defines the amount of time in seconds to wait before allowing new attempts to connect. The
default and range depend on the country.
Range: 1-1800. Default: 30.
Restore Delay
Defines how long to wait before automatically restoring a profile from ‘failed’ state to ‘ready’.
Range: 300-65535 seconds. Specify 0 to disable automatic restore. Default: 300 seconds.
A profile fails if a connection cannot be established after the Max Retries limit (see the
Connection page) is reached.
