The options for the dialstrings are described below.

-qN:Specifies whether or not priority queueing is enabled (1) or disabled (0). By default, priority queueing is enabled. In priority queueing, IP datagrams are marked as either interactive (e.g., telnet packets) or non- interactive (e.g., FTP packets); interactive datagrams are always queued in front of non-interactive datagrams. This reduces latency in interactive applications such as telnet, rlogin, etc., and yields better response time. The queue is located between the IP protocol and the data switch, there- fore, priority queueing only affects datagrams flowing from the LCS60 to the data switch.

-eNSpecifies whether echo requests are disabled (0) and the time to discon- nect (N, where N is a number greater than 3). By default, the LCS60 will send out an echo request every 60 seconds over each PPP connection to check that each link is up. After three minutes, if there is no echo reply received from the client, the LCS60 will hang up the connection. The three-minute wait is configurable by specifying the number of minutes desired. In the screen above, the -eoption has been used to specify a six-minute wait before hang up.

Note: Three minutes is the minimum allowed time to disconnect. If you specify a time less than three minutes, the system will main- tain the three-minute time to disconnect.

-DSpecifies that the user be assigned an IP address dynamically (rather than use a reserved IP address) provided a negotiable IP address has been administered in the client software package. Without the -Doption, the reserved IP address for the user (if any exist) is assigned.
