IBM SC30-3681-08 25bis Monitoring Commands, Local-address address name, Retries-no-answer value

V.25bis Con®guration Commands

GWCON (+) prompt and when you enter the statistics command at the

V.25bis> monitoring prompt. The range is 300 to 2 048 000 bps.

Note: This command does not affect the actual line speed but it sets the speed some protocols, such as IPX, use when calculating routing cost parameters for dial circuits mapped to the V.25bis interface.

local-address address name

Speci®es the network address name of the local port. This address name must match one of the names that you de®ned at theConfig> using the

add v25-bis-address command.

Example: set local-address line-1-local

retries-no-answer value

Some telephone service providers impose restrictions on automatic recalling devices to limit the number of successive calls to an address that is inaccessible or that refuses those calls. This parameter speci®es the maximum number of calls the router attempts to make to a non-responding address during the timeout period. The range is 0 to 10, and the default is 1.

Note: Government regulation may also impose limits on the modem manufacturer that would supersede this parameter.

timeout-no-answer # of seconds

After the router reaches the maximum number of retries-no-answerto a non-responding address, it does not initiate further calls to that address until this time has expired. This timeout period begins when the router attempts the ®rst call to an address. The range is 0 to 65535 seconds, and the default is 0. If you set this parameter to 0, the modem controls the timeout period.

Accessing the Interface Monitoring Process

To access the interface monitoring process for V.25bis, enter the following command at the GWCON (+) prompt:

+network #

Where # is the number of the V.25bis serial line. You cannot directly access the V.25bis monitoring process for dial circuits, but you can monitor the dial circuits that are mapped to the serial line interface.

Note: V.25bis interfaces also have ELS troubleshooting messages that you can use to monitor V.25bis related activity. See the IBM Nways Event Logging System Messages Guide for further details.

V.25bis Monitoring Commands

This section summarizes and explains the V.25bis operating commands. These commands allow you to view the calls, circuits, parameters, and statistics of the V.25bis interfaces.

Enter the V.25bis monitoring commands at the V.25bis> prompt. Table 76 on page 588 shows the commands.
