Protocol Specific Configuration

Terminal-Definition

The port assigned must be configured as above and the ACC card must have the appropriate HDLC/LAP-D firmware configured. You must also have defined the subchannel number in the Subchannel definition section.

The device type of the HDLC/LAP-D terminal must be LAPD.DLE.

This supplies the “POLL” and “SELECT” parameters for the ZCOM Terminal-Definition. These are used to specify:

•whether the HDLC/LAP-D terminal acts as a DTE (user side) or DCE (network side),

•the frame re-transmission time-out value,

•the re-transmission count limit,

•the outstanding frame window size to be used, and

•the maximum frame size allowed.

In most cases a pre-configured keyword will suffice. For the list of currently predefined keywords, see “Predefined Configuration Values” section of this chapter. If a different set of values is required, then different values for the “POLL” and “SELECT” codes may be entered here in the standard poll and select format in hexadecimal. For the format of these words, see “Poll/Select/Option Configuration Values” on page 46.
