Configuring the PathBuilder S200 Series Switch for Bridging Operation

Encapsulation Type

Range:

RFC 877, RFC 1294

 

 

Default:

CODEX

 

 

Description:

Specify the type of encapsulation used over this LAN connection.

 

Encapsulation types supported include:

 

• CODEX: Codex Proprietary Encapsulation

 

• RFC 877/1356: RFC 877/1356 X.25 protocol encapsulation

 

for IP

 

• RFC 1294/1490: RFC 1294/1490 multiprotocol encapsulation

 

over Frame Relay

 

 

Boot Type:

Changes to this parameter require a Table and Node Record boot

 

to take effect.

 

 

Autocall Mnemonic

 

 

Range:

0 to 8 alphanumeric characters

 

 

Default:

0 (blank)

 

 

Description:

Specify the mnemonic name used when the LAN connection is

 

configured to autocalling. A corresponding entry must be made in

 

the Mnemonic Table. A blank entry means autocalling will not be

 

initiated by this LAN connection entry. The LAN connector at the

 

remote device must initiate the call. If configured, the Autocall

 

Mnemonic references a remote address which will be called by the

 

LAN connection.

 

Specifically, it must equal the node address of the node to which

 

the remote LAN is attached (the LAN to which we want to

 

bridge). The LAN connection subaddress configured in the node

 

record is appended to this address to form the complete called

 

address of an X.25 call.

 

 

LCON Queue Limit

 

 

Range:

0 to 65536

 

 

Default:

16000

 

 

Description:

The LCON Queue Limit parameter specifies the maximum

 

number of bytes that are queued for this LAN before transmission

 

on the WAN link. Set this parameter for two seconds of data on the

 

WAN link.
