Dial Delay Timer

Dial Inactivity Timer

Dial Suspend Timer

Frame Relay Port

LMI on Frame Relay Port

Timer Options

Treat LLC Control as User Data

Virtual Ports

  Specify a dial backup trigger only for the active backup port -- the one that dials out to initiate the line.
  Do not specify a backup trigger on the passive backup port -- the one connected to the modem that answers the call.

Virtual Ports

  This parameter enables you to define virtual ports that should be monitored for failures. If a failure occurs on the specified DLCI, a dial backup connection will be initiated.
  Click on the Add button to define a virtual port entry.
  The Trigger ID is automatically assigned and cannot be changed.
  Range: Port: 1 -- 8
  Range: DLCI: 16 -- 1023

LMI on Frame Relay Port

  This parameter enables you to define the Frame Relay port that should be monitored for loss of LMI. If LMI is lost on this port, a dial backup connection will be initiated.
  Range: Enabled or Disabled, Port: 1 -- 8

Frame Relay Port

  This parameter defines the frame relay port that should be monitored for failures. If a failure occurs on the specified port, a dial backup connection will be initiated.
  Range: Enabled or Disabled, Port: 1 -- 8

### Timer Options

  Typically, the default values should meet your backup requirements.

Dial Delay Timer

  This value defines how long the unit waits before initiating a dial backup connection. A zero value, indicates an immediate dial backup initiation.
  Range: 0 -- 9999 seconds

Dial Inactivity Timer

  This value defines how long the unit waits before automatically disconnecting the dial backup connection when there is no activity on the line.
  Range: 0 -- 9999 seconds

Treat LLC Control as User Data

  This option defines whether or not the unit considers LLC control frames (i.e., TEST, XID, RR, RNR, REJ, DISC, UA, DM, FRMR) as user data.
  If the backup port does not treat these control frames as user data, an idle LLC2 session triggers the inactivity timer and disconnects the SNA session.
  Range: Enabled or Disabled

Dial Suspend Timer

  This value defines the suspension duration following a disconnect. This time must elapse before the next dial up process initiates.
  Range: 0 -- 9999 seconds
