Device Parameters
Menu for LAPB and
TUNNEL
The LAPB or TUNNEL Device Parameters Menu displays the Device’s current
parameter settings on the port. As opposed to SDLC, LAPB and TUNNEL can
have only one device configured, since they are point-to-point protocols. That is
why they don't have any Device list parameter. Figure 11-6 is displayed when the
parameter menu is selected and the data link type was previously configured to
LAPB or TUNNEL.
Device name
This parameter specifies the name of this device. This name is used for internal
connection purposes only. This field can contain up to 17 ASCII characters. The
default is a null string.
Device connect address
This parameter specifies the ASCII characters used to establish the internal
connection within an X.25 channel only. This field can contain up to two
displayable ASCII characters. The default contains no characters.
Device connect name
This parameter specifies the default destination name to which to connect. If it is
not present, then no connection is issued by this Device, but must be issued from
another Device. This field can contain up to 17 ASCII characters. The default is a
null string. This parameter is normally set only on a Primary port.
Device alternate name
The device alternate name parameter specifies an alternate routing path if this
Device is not active or its link is inactive. It should contain the name of another
Device with the same configuration. This parameter specifies the name of the
alternate device to which traffic from this Device is routed if this link fails.
