IBM SC30-3681-08 manual Link rts-hold, Link snrm timeout or retry, Link speed

Con®guring SDLC Interfaces

2. For APPN point-to-point or negotiable, the broadcast address is used for the initial poll. For primary multipoint, the speci®c address is used.

3. For switched SDLC, the device must be primary, so link role type is not con®gurable for SDLC dial circuit interfaces.

link rts-hold

The time to hold Request-to-Send (RTS) high after transmitting a frame. This setting is for half-duplex mode. This setting has no effect in full-duplex mode.

Example:

set link rts-hold

Enter RTS hold duration after transmit complete [0.0]?

link snrm timeout or retry

Con®gures the following SNRM(E) information for primary stations:

timeout

The time to wait for an Unnumbered Acknowledgements (UA) response before retransmitting an SNRM(E).

retry The number of times to retransmit an SNRM(E) without receiving a response before giving up.

Example:

set link snrm timeout

Enter SNRM response timeout [2.0]?

Example:

set link snrm retry

Enter SNRM retry count (0=forever) [6]?

link speed

For internal clocking, this command speci®es the speed of the transmit and

receive clock lines.The supported range is 2400 to 2048000 bps.If you want

to use a line speed greater than 2048000, you can only do this on:

v interface 1.

v port 1 of a 4-port WAN concentration adapter.

v ports 1 and 5 of an 8-port WAN concentration adapter.

The other WAN ports must be clocked at 64 Kbps or less.

Example:

set link speed

Line Speed [64000]?

link type multipoint or point-to-point

Con®gures the SDLC link to either a multipoint link or a point-to-point link.

Note: For switched SDLC, the link is always point-to-point, so link type is

not con®gurable for SDLC dial circuit interfaces.

link xid/test timeout or retry

Con®gures the following XID/test information for primary stations:

timeout

The maximum amount of time to wait for an XID or TEST frame

response before retransmitting the XID or TEST frame.

retry The maximum number of times an XID or TEST frame is resent

before giving up. A 0 (zero) causes the router to retry inde®nitely.
