on page 70

,

when you select ‘direct’, ‘silent’ or ‘reverse’, you must specify whether the
line service is ‘raw’,‘telnet’or ‘ssh’; e.g. silent telnet.

when you select ‘direct’, ‘silent’ or ‘bidir’, you must enter the target host
name; e.g. sophocles.

when you select ‘direct raw’, ‘silent raw’ or ‘bidir’, you must specify the
TCP port assigned on the target host to listen for the incoming connection.

when you select ‘reverse raw’ ‘reverse ssh’or ‘bidir’, you must specify the
TCP port assigned to the unit’s port (that is the Console Server TCP port
number). TCP/IP hosts will use this TCP port to establish a connection with
the unit.

phone-number

a number which the unit will dial on that line, when ‘dial’ is set to ‘out’.
Enter the number without spaces. To change the phone number overwrite the
previous entry.

modem-name

is the name of the attached modem; e.g. usrobotics28.8, or a name you wish
to use, e.g. modem 1. Do not enter spaces in the name; use the underscore
_ character; e.g. us_robotics_28.8. You can enter a total of nineteen
alphanumeric characters (including spaces).

i-timer value

enter a period in seconds for which the idle timer will run. Use this timer to
close a connection because of inactivity. When the idle timer expires, if there
has been no exchange of data, the unit will end the connection. The default
value is 0 (zero), meaning that the idle timer will not expire (the connection is
open permanently).

This idle timer will be overridden by the idle timer which you can configure
for a user; i.e. the user idle timer takes precedence.

s-timer value

enter a period in seconds for which the session timer will run. Use this timer
to forcibly close the session (connection). When the session timer expires the
unit will end the connection. The default value is 0 (zero), meaning that the
session timer will not expire (the session is open permanently, or until you
kill the line or you/the user log(s) out).

This session timer will be overridden by the session timer which you can
configure for a user; i.e. the user session timer takes precedence.
