E - Virtual Address.

When set to Y, this option indicates that this address has no

direct relationship to any physical device. It is typically used in a dial-up
application to establish logical connections between devices within the network.
The normal setting is N.

F - Auto Connect On Link Active.

The normal setting is N. See page 181 for more

information.

G - Send Disconnect Message.

The normal setting is N. See page 183 for more

information.

H - Shared Device Timeout.

When using the Auto Connect On Select for a shared

device, the terminal side usually terminates the connection when it times out. The
connection can be terminated, however, from the host side as well by turning on
this option. The purpose of this option is that some X.25 networks do not properly
clear a connection when the clear request comes from the opposite side that
initiated the connection.

I - 15 Minute Connect Retry.

This option forces the host port to wait 15 minutes

between connection requests when establishing connections from the host side.
