link modulo

Dynamically changes the range of sequence numbers to be used on the data link without affecting the SRAM con®guration. Modulo 8 speci®es a sequence number range 0 - 7, and modulo 128 speci®e 0 - 127. Default is 8.

Note: When you change this value, the transmit and receive window sizes

become invalid. Use the set station command to change the receive-window and transmit-window sizes.

link name

Dynamically changes the name of the link without affecting the SRAM con®guration. A maximum of 8 characters can be entered. This parameter is for informational purposes only.

Example:

set link name

Enter link name: [LINK_0]?

link poll delay or timeout or retry

Dynamically changes the following poll information without affecting the SRAM con®guration.

delay Con®gures the delay between each poll that is sent over the interface.

timeout

Con®gures the amount of time the router waits for a poll response before timing out.

retry Con®gures the number of times the interface retries to poll the remote SDLC link station before it closes the connection.

Example:

set link poll delay

Enter delay between polls [0.2]?

link role primary, secondary, or negotiable

Con®gures the interface as an SDLC primary, secondary, or negotiable link station. The default is primary. Use of this command does not affect the SRAM con®guration.

Notes:

1. For DLSw, negotiable uses X©FF© (broadcast address) for the initial poll.
