LINCS Configuration

Blocking Delay(msec)
The Blocking Delay is the maximum period of time that LINCS will wait, once it has received
inbound traffic, before it will send all data inbound. During this time interval, LINCS will
collect inbound traffic and buffer it until one of two things occurs: 1) the Blocking Delay
timer expires, 2) 32 KB of data has been accumulated (the maximum amount of data that can
be sent inbound at one time). The default value that LINCS uses is 40 msec.
Maximum Response Length Bytes
The value of this parameter determines how LINCS will handle inbound frames. Frames
smaller than the indicated value will be forwarded to the host immediately, while larger frames
will be queued and sent according to the rules for the Blocking Delay. The default value used
by LINCS is 500 bytes.
Line Options/CHP
The Line Protocol field on a CHP line panel toggles between None, Channel/SNA , Channel/
CTC, and Channel/Non-SNA. If None is selected, the board will not be used by LINCS. You
can either remove the board, or leave it in the machine.
Important: For channel lines, be sure to read the UCW/IOCP Definitions information.
Examples of SNA, CTC, and Non-SNA panels follow:
