Connection Menu > Connection Group (PPP)
Compression
Enables/disables PPP compression. When enabled, one of the following standards is
automatically negotiated:
• Ascend
• MPPC
• MS-STAC
• STAC 1
• STAC 3
Default: Disabled.
Echo Request
Enables/disables the use of PPP echo requests. Some systems do not properly
respond to PPP echo requests. To connect to such systems, PPP echo requests
should be disabled.
Default: Enabled.
Idle Timer
Defines the idle timer for this profile, which controls how long a data call should stay
connected when no traffic is being sent or received. When the idle timer expires, the
call is disconnected.
Default: 120 seconds.
Range: 10-900 seconds. Specify 0 to disable automatic disconnection.
This parameter automatically changes to 900 seconds when Manual Dialing
(page 80) is enabled.
Max Retries
Defines the maximum number of connection attempts this profile is allowed to make.
When this limit is reached, the profile is placed in the ‘failed’ state. A backup profile, if
defined, will be used on the next dial-out attempt.
To automatically reset the profile, enter a Profile Restore Delay on the Profile page. To
reset the profile manually, dial it or reset the Eicon 1550/1551.
Default: 25. Range: 0-250.
