a call request before sending a clear request. The selections are 1 to 255, 15.
Reset Request Timer

Postpone Timer
The postpone timer is the maximum amount of time a unit waits to send a RR (receiver
ready) packet. If a data packet becomes ready for transmission before the timer expires,
the RR is piggybacked with the data packet. The selections are 0 to 512, 1.
VC Modulo
The value in this field determines the numbering scheme for packets at Layer 3. A
value of 8 causes a numbering sequence of 0 to 7 while a value of 128 causes a
sequence of 0 to 127. The units on each end of the link must be set for the same
modulo. The selections are 8 and 128.
VC Window
The window parameter specifies the maximum number of unacknowledged packets
possible for any individual Layer 3 connection. The selections are 1 to 7 if the VC
Modulo is 8 and 1 to 127, 7, if the VC Modulo is 128.
Number of VC

on this port. The selections are 0 to 512, 64.
Clear Request Timer
The value in this field is the amount of time, in seconds, the unit waits after
sending a clear request before declaring a channel failure. The selections are 1 to
255, 15.
Data ACK Timeout
This timer specifies the amount of time a unit waits to receive an acknowledgment
to a transmitted message. If the timer expires before a response is received, the
channel is reset and the message is re-transmitted. The timer is required since a
frame relay network can throw away frames without notifying the sender of their
elimination. The selections are 0 to 512, 60.
