generate a call clear transaction. If the X.25 device clears the call, the TCP connection
will also be dropped.

The

vcwin=<VC Tx Window Size>

specifies the packet layer window size to be used

for transmission purposes on the affected VCs. The valid values are one through seven
inclusive. The VC must have been previously specified on the command line.

The

vcpkt=< 128 | 256 | 512 | 1024 >

specifies the packet size boundary upon which a

packet is generated when the selected forwarding condition is not met. Any such packet
will have the “More” bit set to indicate the transaction is not complete.

The

pvcreset=<ON | OFF >

option specifies the operation of a PVC when a connection

is made. When set to

ON

, the PVC is issued a RESET upon a user connection. When

set to

OFF

, the PVC continues with it’s previous state. Some legacy devices cannot

tolerate a PVC RESET and this option allows interoperability. The default is to have
RESET enabled (ON).

The

pvcrstlnk=< OFF | CONSTDCD | SWDCD >

option specifies the operation of the

link supporting the PVC when a connection is made. When set to any value other than

OFF

, the entire link is issued a RESTART upon a connection to the PVC. The PVC itself

may also get a RESET depending on the setting of the

pvcreset

option. When set to

OFF

, the link behaves per the relevant (either X.25 or BX.25) specification and no

RESTART is issued at user connect. The

pvcrstlnk=SWDCD

option also switches the

DCD lead as the BX.25 link layer is controlled. This yields a more effective simulation of
a dynamic modem connection as is required by some legacy devices. Some switches
(i.e. #5ESS) cannot have the DCD cycled as it will cause the link to not restart. The

pvcrstlnk=CONSTDCD

should be used in that situation as it will maintain the assertion

of the DCD lead. The

pvcrstlnk

option is provided strictly for interoperability with select

legacy devices. As a general rule, the

pvcrstlnk

feature should remain in the

OFF

condition unless specifically desired. The default is the

OFF

condition.


The

svctclass=< NONE | Throughput >

option specifies a throughput class declared on

X.25 call connect, and call accept packets. The throughput class is the same in both
transmit and receive directions. As a general rule, it should always be set to

NONE

such

that no limiting throughput class is established. All specification allowable values for
throughput class are supported. These range from 75bps to 48000bps inclusive. The
option is provided for interface to devices that require a throughput class to be explicitly
negotiated.

The

padecho=< ON | OFF >

refers to reference #2 in the X.3 parameter list. When set

to OFF, the PAD will not echo characters back to the IP endpoint. When set to the value
of ON, all characters are to be echoed back to the IP source.

The

paderase=< NONE | BS | <HEX BYTE> >

option specifies reference #16 in the X.3

parameter list. It is used with manual telnet connections to an X.25 VC. It sets the buffer
editing “erase” character. When the special “erase” character is received by the X25PAD
for a specific virtual circuit, the previous character in the packet accumulation buffer is
deleted. If the

padecho

option was also enabled, a “Backspace Blank Backspace”
