takes to establish connections to various destinations. Youcan then set this
parameter to a number slightly higher than the longest connect time.
Note: Normally government regulation limits modem manufacturers to a
maximum length for call setup. This value is merely an optimization,
although inter-operation with some DSUs may require that you
change this parameter.
disconnect-timeout
# of seconds
Specifies the amount of time, in seconds, that the router waits after
dropping DTR before it initiates further calls. The range is 0 to 65535
seconds, and the default is 2. If you set this parameter to 0, the router waits
for the modem to respond to the DTR drop by dropping CTS and DSR
before it initiates the next call.
duplex Specifies the duplex type of the line.
When full-duplex is configured, the RTS modem signal remains asserted
once the dial connection has been established.
When half-duplex is configured, the router raises RTS when it is time to
transmit and waits for CTS to be asserted by the modem. After CTS is
asserted, the router transmits data packets and then drops RTS when the
router is through transmitting to let the peer device respond.
Only configure half-duplex when using the V.25bisinterface to handle
switched SDLC and the attached modem requires the half-duplex mode of
operation.
Note: Duplex must be full for PPP or Frame Relay circuits.
Valid values: full or half
Default value: full
hdlc cable

rs232 dte

Specifies the type of cable connected to this interface. Setting this
parameter allows you to view the cable type when you enter the interface
command at the GWCON (+) prompt and when you enter the statistics
command at the V.25bis> monitoring prompt. This parameter does not
affect operation of the router.
hdlc encoding
Sets the HDLC transmission encoding scheme as NRZ (non-return to zero)
or NRZI (non-return to zero inverted). Most configurations use NRZ. The
configured encoding is used for the end-to-end connection.
Note: Although you might configure NRZI, the exchange between the DTE
and the modem (as described by CCITT recommendation,

V.25bis

)
uses NRZ as the encoding scheme.
Valid values: NRZ or NRZI
Default value: NRZ
hdlc speed
Specifies the line speed for this interface. Setting this parameter allows you
to view the line speed when you enter the interface command at the
V.25bisConfiguration Commands
