Settings For Hardwired Connections - Lucent Technologies PortMaster 4 Configuration Manual

Assigning a Port to a Dial Group
You can create modem pools for dial-out connections by associating ports and dial-out
locations with dial groups. Dial groups can be used to reserve ports for dial-out to
specific locations, or to differentiate among different types of modems that are
compatible with the remote location. Dial groups are numbered 0 to 99. The default dial
group is 0.
To assign a port to a dial group, use the following command:
Command> set W1 group Group
Setting Hangup Control
You can control whether the data terminal ready (DTR) signal on the synchronous port
is dropped after a user session terminates. Hangup is set to on by default. In this state,
DTR is dropped for 500 milliseconds, causing a hangup on the line.
To set the hangup control, use the following command:
Command> set W1 hangup on|off
The reset command always drops the DTR signal.
Setting the Port Idle Timer
The idle timer indicates how long the PortMaster waits after activity stops on a
synchronous port before disconnecting a dial-in or dial-out connection.
You can set the idle time in seconds or minutes, to any value from 0 to 240. The default
setting is 0 minutes. If the value is set to 2 seconds or a longer interval, the port is reset
after having no traffic for the designated time. The idle timer is not reset by RIP,
keepalive, or SAP packets. To disable the idle timer, set the value to 0.
To set the idle timer, use the following command:
Command> set W1 idle Number [minutes|seconds]

Settings for Hardwired Connections

The following settings can be used only when the synchronous port is configured for
network hardwired connections.
Setting the Transport Protocol
The transport protocol for synchronous connections must be set for a network
hardwired synchronous port. Choose PPP for leased line, switched 56Kbps, and ISDN
connections, or Frame Relay for a Frame Relay connection. Additional Frame Relay
settings must be configured for Frame Relay connections, described in Chapter 12
"Using Frame Relay."
