Connection Menu > Connection Group (when protocol is set to PPP)

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 ‘failed’ state. A backup profile, if defined, will be used on the next dial-out attempt.

To automatically reset the profile, enter a Profile Restore Delay on the Profile page. To reset the profile manually, dial it or reset the Eicon 1530.

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.
