This field allows you to specify who will start the timer, that is used by the Response Time

Enabling this function causes LINCS to transmit RTM logs whenever an SNA session is
unbound. Choose one of the following options:
• No Log on Unbind
• Log on Unbind
Counter Overflow
Enabling this function causes the RTM feature to transmit RTM logs whenever an RTM
counter overflows. Choose one of two options:
• No Log on Overflow
• Log on Overflow
Alert Option
Enabling this function causes an alert message to be transmitted when an RTM counter
overflows. Two options are available in this field:
• Disable

Automatic Failover
The Automatic Failover feature allows two LINCS platforms to monitor each other, with the
plan that if one platform fails, the other platform will attempt to bring up additional Host
Circuits to compensate for the failed unit. When failover is being used, Host Circuits are
assigned to have either a Primary or a Backup role. Primary Host Circuits come up initially at
power up time, while Backup Host Circuits do not attempt to come up, unless the corresponding
Primary Host Circuit has gone down. The Automatic Failover feature is designed to work
with LLC as the upstream host connection, and TN3270 as the client type. The Failover Role
option can be set to:
• None
• Primary
• Backup
