■ On Page 1 of this form, administer the following fields:
— Extension of PMS
This is the extension number assigned to the data port where the
PMS is connected to the communications server. The PMS is an
asynchronous device connected to the server by a digital port and
a data module.
— PMS Protocol Mode
Enter Normal or Transparent to identify the mode of the message
protocol and the message set used between the communications
server and the PMS. Consult the PMS vendor about this setting.
— ASCII mode?
If the Transparent Mode is enabled, enter y to enable the ASCII
message set protocol mode.
— Seconds before PMS Link Idle Timeout
Enter the idle time in seconds (5 to 20) that the server waits before
concluding that the PMS is not sending data across the link. The
recommended setting is 20, and it should always be longer than
the PMS Link Acknowledgment Timer, but consult the PMS vendor
about this setting.
— Milliseconds before PMS Link Acknowledgment Time-
out
Enter the time in milliseconds (100 to 20000) that the server waits
for an acknowledgment from the PMS indicating it correctly
received a message. The recommended setting is 300 if operating
in the Normal Mode, and 500 if operating in the Transparent Mode
or ASCII Mode. Consult the PMS vendor about this setting.
