4 Operation
4-14 NetPath 100 User’s Manual - Installation Guide 980-001-0210G
June
1999
NOTES:
Operating Mode A or B - On incoming call, modem must establish
connection within 60 seconds.
Operating Mode D or B - Raising DTR will assign modem to AUX Port
(if not already in-use) within five seconds.
Each character sequence “^M” within the AT string causes <CR> to be
sent followed by a one (1) second delay, making it possible to define
multiple command lines.
5. AUX 2 Setup - Functions the same as AUX 1 above, but without RTS sensing.
NOTE: AUX 2 Contact Sense Alarm feature has been obsoleted. Entering “CS”
for the first two characters of the AUX 2 Setup string will cause the “Aux2 Alm”
label to be displayed on the System View Screen. However, no Alm status will
ever be issued.
6. Retry Count - Enter number of times the NetPath 100 will reattempt a connection
when dialing out via modem, after the initial attempt has failed.
7. Retry Holdoff - Enter the delay time before a dial-out attempt will be retried.
8. Modem Line - Select “Test” or “No Test” to enable or disable the automatic dial-
tone testing of the dial line (during power-up/reset as well as the 4-hour routine
test). Default = No Test.
Inactivity Logout
Set the console session inactivity (idle) time, which when reached will force a logout.
Encapsulation
Protocols are encapsulated and carried within each Frame Relay “Frame” and are iden-
tified by the NLPID (Network Level Protocol ID). The NLPID may identify a specific
protocol such as defined by IETF, or indicate a set of lower level protocols such as
SNAP (SubNetwork Access Protocol).
WAN Encap - Select the type of IP encapsulation to be used for private network PVC
management access. Selections are:
Learning - The unit will attempt to learn automatically. Once a value is entered
or auto-learned, auto-learning will be discontinued.
Raw - No protocol specified. Data (user’s payload) is encapsulated only by the
frame of the Frame Relay packet.
IETF - Protocol will be specified by its own NLPID.
SNAP - Protocol will be under the SNAP NLPID.
P/C Encap - Select the type of IP encapsulation to be used for management access via
the Payload PVC or CPE (private user) PVC. Selections are:
Raw - No protocol specified. Data (user’s payload) is encapsulated only by the
frame of the Frame Relay packet.
IETF - Protocol will be specified by its own NLPID.
