AI296 Link Types

AI296 has six configurable link types:

zAsynchronous

zAsynchronous PPP

zHDLC-Bridge

zMLT

zSynchronous PPP

zX.25

Asynchronous

Asynchronous links use asynchronous transmission and support multiple baud rates,

parity types, stop bits, and software flow or hardware control.

zConnect Options Configuration

zDisconnect Options Configuration

zGeneral Link Properties Configuration

zModem Option Configuration

zRTS/DTR Lead Control Configuration

Asynchronous PPP

Asynchronous PPP links use PPP (point-to-point protocol) and asynchronous

transmission. They support PAP and CHAP for authentication and can be set as

bridged (BCP) or routed (IPCP) interfaces.
