MODEM CONTROL Sequences

3After first detecting DSR, the access server monitors the port for CTS and DCD. If it detects CTS and DCD within 30 seconds, the access server enables data flow on the line. If it does not detect CTS and DCD within 30 seconds, the access server disconnects the line.

4At this point, if an ALTERNATE SPEED is defined, the access server examines the state of the SMI signal. The modem asserts SMI if it has accepted the higher port speed. When it requires a fallback speed, the modem does not assert SMI, and the access server sets the port to the fallback (lower) speed.

5For dial-in lines, the user must log in to the access server successfully within 120 seconds, or the access server automatically disconnects the call.

Response to Momentary Loss of CTS

If the port device drops CTS (but not DCD), the access server suspends data transmission on the line until the port device reasserts CTS.

Disconnecting

The access server disconnects the sessions on a port when any of the following events occur on the port: DCD is lost for more than 2 seconds, DSR is lost, or a LOGOUT command is received.

Disconnecting involves the following series of events:

1The access server disables data exchanges on the port and waits 300 milliseconds for the stop bit of the last transmitted character to be given to the port device.

2The access server logs out the port, thereby disconnecting all sessions.

3The access server drops DTR, RTS, and DSRS for 5 seconds.

4After 5 seconds, the access server resumes the port device interaction as described in step 1 of the Establishing a Connection sequence in this section.
