PID
The protocol ID (PID) to use when the router switches an IP connection to X.25. The PID field
takes the format of four hexadecimal digits separated by commas, such as 1,0,0,0, at the start
of the Call User Data field in the X.25 call.
Confirm Mode
When confirm mode is set to On, then the incoming TCP socket is not successfully connected
until the corresponding outgoing call has been connected. The incoming TCP socket triggers
the corresponding outgoing call either to a local PAD instance or to whatever is configured. The
effect of this mode is that the socket will fail if the outbound call fails and so may be useful in
backup scenarios. In addition it will ensure no data is sent into a “black hole”. (When this
setting is not enabled, data that is sent on the inbound TCP connection before the outbound
connection has been successful can be lost.)
RFC 1086 Mode:
RFC 1086 specifies a mode of operation in which the IP socket answers and then with a simple
protocol in the socket identifies the X.25 address and other X.25 call setup parameters to use.
Then when the X.25 call parameters have been identified the X.25 call is made and if successful
then data is then switched between the X.25 call and the IP socket. The protocol selects
whether incoming or outgoing support is required.
IP Length Header
When IP length header is On, the IP length indicator field is inserted at the start of each
packet. When set to 8583 Ascii 4 byte, the IP length header conforms to the ISO 8583 format.
In the example above, 3 IP sockets will listen for an incoming connection on IP Port 2004. Once
connected each socket makes an X.25 Call to jollyroger. The router recognizes that jollyroger
is a pre-defined macro (as illustrated below), and translates it into an X.25 Call to address
32423 with the string x25 data included as data in the call. The outgoing X.25 call(s) are made
over whichever interface is specified by the Switch from XOT(TCP) to parameter on the
Configuration > Network > Protocol Switchpage.
