HDLC Status 134
Addressing
Indicates whether the monitored Eiconcard port is configured
as a DTE (data terminal equipment) or a DCE (data circuit-terminating
equipment).
Check point timer T1 (msec)
When this timer expires, an attempt is made
to determine the status of the remote device.
Link setup
Controls how the HDLC Link setup procedure is handled. Note
that if both ends are PASSIVE, the link cannot be made.
Ack delay timer T2 (msec)
To optimize communications efficiency,
acknowledgments can be piggy-backed onto outgoing frames rather than being
sent out on their own. This field defines the length of the wait for an outgoing
information frame.
Maximum retry count N2
Specifies the limit to the number of retries
made when a particular frame meets with repeated negative acknowledgments
from the remote device.
Idle probe timer T3 (msec)
When this timer expires, an RR (receiver
ready) frame (has a command P-bit set) is sent to determine the status of the
remote device. If the remote device is still functioning it will respond with an
RR frame (has a command F-bit set) as well.
Maximum window size (K)
Number of frames that can be sent before
waiting for an acknowledgment. Maximum window size can never be
exceeded.
Maximum frame size N1(bytes)
Indicates the maximum size of the
HDLC frame.
Value Description
DTE Used when the Eiconcard port is connected to an X.25 network, or to
another computer configured as DCE (null-modem connection).
DCE Used when the Eiconcard port is connected to another computer which
is configured as DTE.
Value Description
Active The Eiconcard port initiates the setup procedure.
Passive The Eiconcard port waits for the other side to initiate the setup
procedure.
