Configuration / Operation 63
Task-to-Task Timeout
When a task (port) sends data to another task, it waits for the amount of time
specified here for an acknowledgment of its receipt. If the time elapses with no
acknowledgment, the data is considered undeliverable. This field rarely needs to be
changed and should be left at its default value.
Task to Terminal/Host Timeout
The MultiPro unit attempts to deliver a message to a host for the amount of time
specified in this field. If the host does not accept the message within this time
frame, the message is discarded. If the Message Lost message is defined, it is
generated to the sending station. This field rarely needs to be changed and should
be left at its default value.
Connect Command
Each station in the network has the ability of connecting to different hosts one at a
time. The connect command acts as the trigger for this function. To connect to a
different host, the user enters the Connect command defined here followed by the
name of the destination. This parameter is only supported on the Unisys poll/select
protocol.
Disconnect Command
If a user desires to break the connection to the current host, the Disconnect
command, as defined in this field, is entered at the terminal. A disconnect
command is automatically generated to the current host when the connect
command is used. This parameter is only supported on the Unisys poll/select
protocol.
If this command is received from the host, the port where the receiving station
resides has DTR lowered for 500 milliseconds and then raised again. This allows
for a method by which a host can terminate a dial connection.
Send Command
The send command allows a message to be sent directly from one station to
another. The sender would enter the Send command followed by the destination
station name of the terminal and transmit. The next message the user sends is
delivered to the destination station. This parameter is only supported on the Unisys
poll/select protocol.
Reserve Command
If receive messages sent using the Send command is not desired, the Reserve
command may be entered. This blocks all messages sent using the Send command.
This parameter is only supported on the Unisys poll/select protocol.
Disconnect Message
This message is sent to the host when a station goes off-line. This is normally used
to log off a station that is using a dial connection. For the message to be sent to the
host, the Send Disconnect Message option must be set to Y on the host port for the
station.
