Messages per Group Poll
This parameter indicates whether the unit is allowed to send more that one
message per group poll. This capability is a function of general polling and helps
response time on heavily loaded units. This parameter should be set to 8 unless the
host/FEP can not handle more than one message at a time. The selections are 1 to
255, 8.
Host Name
Enter the unique name (up to 17 bytes) for this port. This is the name the terminals
use to establish a logical connection.
Backup Host Name
Enter the name of another Bisync host port to which all station connections should
be switched if this port is declared offline. This field is optional.
End-to-End Flow Control
Since the Bisync port can buffer multiple messages, it must be able to
communicate to the other end of the link that all available buffers are being used
and no more messages should be accepted. This field should always be set to Y if
this port is logically connected to a BSC port. It should be set to N when this port
is logically connected to a non-Bisync host or terminal port. The selections are Y
(yes) and N (no).
End-to-End Protocol Conversion
This parameter is used to specify that a Non-Bisync terminal port is connected to
the Bisync host port. When set to yes, the proper conversion takes place. The
selections are Y (yes) and N (no).
