Kentrox AI296 manual Module Properties, Module Arguments

AI296 Version 9.8x User’s Guide

Alias and Call Routing Configuration: Protocol Processing Modules

Examples
TN -U	Provides Telnet handling, but prevents breaks from being
	propagated upstream.
TN -E	Provides Telnet handling and initiates Telnet negotiation for WILL
	Echo and WILL SGA.
TN -E255,1	Provides Telnet handling and causes the Telnet session to send IAC
	(255) ECHO (1) when the connection is initiated. Initiates WILL SGA.

Module Properties

Some modules are only used for one specific purpose. For example, the PKT module buffers all received data until a specified character is received in that data. The TN module looks for Telnet commands embedded in the data.

AEP, AEPN, PAD, PKT, and TN can be combined to allow break propagation between the following protocols:

zX.25 (with X.29 break) to asynchronous break

zX.25 (with X.29 break) to Telnet break

zAsynchronous break to X.25 (with X.29 break)

zAsynchronous break to Telnet break

zTelnet break to X.25 (with X.29 break)

zTelnet break to asynchronous break

zX.29 break propagation across TCP connections between two AI296 cards

zAsynchronous break propagation across TCP connections between two AI296 cards

zResponse to an indication of X.29 break.



Note: For more information on this, refer to Source/Destination Protocol Tables on page 8-12.

Module Arguments

Some modules use protocol arguments to place restrictions on functionality. For example, the PKT module uses arguments to specify the characters to filter out of data and the characters to packetize in data.
