REPLYTO
This indicates the length of time that LINCS will wait for a reply before it logs a timeout for
the device. IT should be at least the time required to read the maximum frame size at the
operational baud rate. One second (default) is sufficient for 4800 baud or faster for 521 byte
frames, or 9600 baud or faster for 265 byte frames. Enter a value from 1 to 99 in tenths of a
second (10 is default.)
RETRIES
This indicates the number of retry attempts before the link is disconnected.
Enter a value from 0 to 99, where 0 means poll indefinitely. The default number of retries is 10.
PAUSE
This is a timer that initiates a trip through the poll list when there is no outbound traffic
queued. If the entire poll list has been polled before the PAUSE timer has expired, the DAP
feature will wait until expiration before commencing the poll list again.
Enter a value from 0 to 99, in tenths of a second, where 0 means no pause. The default for this
parameter is 2 tenths of a second.
HDXSP
This gives outbound data traffic priority over polling. Polling will occur every (value of PAUSE)
seconds. Normally this should be set to Enable. With this feature enabled, PUs with data
pending will have that data sent to them before PUs with no data are polled. If there is only
one PU on the line, this parameter will have no effect. This feature is always enabled by
LINCS when the line is configured for Full Duplex on the Line Options panel.
Options are: ENABLE (default) or, DISABLE
RNRLIMIT
This is the number of times a device may send consecutive RNR (send a Receiver Not Ready)
before it is considered broken and disconnected.
Enter a value from 0-999, where 0 represents no limit. Default is 100.
MAXDATA
This parameter defines the maximum frame size that can be sent by LINCS to the remote
device. IBM 3174 generation devices usually support a value of 521, while older SNA products
such as 3274 and 3276 type devices support a value of 265.
Enter a value from 265 (default) to 1033.
