DEFAULT LINE PROTOCOL CONFIGURATION ELEMENTS

ACTION ON FRAME TIMEOUT

The action to be taken if no frame is received before the configured frame timeout value has expired. The default value is to disconnect the call. The complete list of choices is as follows:

•Disconnect

•Use HDLC Bridge Protocol

•Use IP Host Protocol (RFC 1294)

•Use PPP Protocol

FRAME TIMEOUT VALUE

The time limit to wait to receive a packet. The default frame timeout value is 30 seconds. The possible range is from 5 to 60 seconds.

DEFAULT LINE PROTOCOL BACKGROUND INFORMATION

When a connection occurs, the system waits for a packet to arrive, and from that packet, it determines the protocol type. After a default frame timeout value of 30 seconds, if no packet is received, the default action on frame timeout is to disconnect the call.

It is possible to change the timeout value for waiting for responses. You may also change the action on frame timeout. Instead of disconnecting after the frame timeout value has been reached, you can select a default protocol for the system to use.

LOG OPTIONS

Log options allow you to direct log reports (call detail recording, system message reports, or authentication message reports) to a specific location. Reports can be directed to a local log file, or to a UNIX-style Syslog Server.
