A CTION ON F RAME T IMEOUT
The action to be taken if no frame is received before the configured frame timeout value has
expired. The default value is to disconnect the call. The complete list of choices is as follows:
•
Disconnect
• Use HDLC Bridge Protocol
• Use IP Host Protocol (RFC 1294)
• Use PPP Protocol
F RAME T IMEOUT V ALUE
The time limit to wait to receive a packet. The default frame timeout value is 30 seconds. The
possible range is from 5 to 60 seconds.
D EFAULT L INE P ROTOCOL B ACKGROUND I NFORMATION
When a connection occurs, the system waits for a packet to arrive, and from that packet, it
determines the protocol type. After a default frame timeout value of 30 seconds, if no packet is
received, the default action on frame timeout is to disconnect the call.
It is possible to change the timeout value for waiting for responses. You may also change the action
on frame timeout. Instead of disconnecting after the frame timeout value has been reached, you can
select a default protocol for the system to use.
