Description

 

 

 

Start Connection

 

Start Connection is used to determine under which conditions is a

 

 

line established. To use this function, the line must not be

 

 

designated as answer only. After a physical connection is made,

 

 

data is transferred.

 

Upon Power Up

The line is established when the unit is turned on. Upon Power Up

 

 

is recommended for leased lines only

 

Any Frame to

The line is established when any frame that is directed to the link

 

Forward

arrives

 

Specific Frame to

The line is established only when specific types of frames directed

 

Forward

to the link arrive. To determine which frames establish a line, filters

 

 

are used to specify the type of frame.

 

 

Any number of filters can be used. Filters work as a Boolean "OR";

 

 

by specifying a filter for frame type A and filter for frame type B,

 

 

you establish a line for Frame type A or Frame type B.

 

 

Choosing this option automatically opens the Advanced Filter

 

 

menu, with Connect Operation selected

 

Never

The line is permanently cutoff. In this case, you manually decide

 

 

when to activate a line.

 

 

 

Terminate Connection

 

Terminate Connection is used to determine under which conditions

 

 

does a link terminates. Termination takes place only after a physical

 

 

connection is made.

 

Never

The line is never terminated. Never is usually used when Upon

 

 

Power Up is used

 

No Frame to

The line is terminated after a specified time passes without a frame

 

Forward

passing through the line. You specify the time in which a frame

 

 

must pass. The default is 60 seconds

 

Upon Time Out

The line is terminated after a fixed period of time regardless of the

 

 

traffic. The default is 60 seconds

 

No Specific Frame

The line is terminated if traffic of a specific type of frame falls below

 

to Forward

a certain rate over a period of time. You determine the number of

 

 

frames and the time period in which they must pass. Using filters,

 

 

you specify which type of frames are counted. If frames other than

 

 

those specified pass through, they are not counted.

 

 

Choosing this option automatically opens the Advanced Filter menu
