broadcast_direction

This asynchronous port parameter defines the direction in which an
administrative broadcast message is sent on a port. The options are
network or port; the default is port. This parameter is valid only for a
slave port (defined by the mode parameter).
If you specify network, the Annex sends administrative broadcast
messages out the network side of the connection to the initiator. If you
specify port, the Annex sends broadcast messages out the port side of
the connection.

bypass

This T1 parameter is used to remove the T1 engine from the network.
When bypass is set to Y, the T1 engine is off-line and the T1 Network
Interface (T1NI) and the T1 Drop and Insert Interface (T1DII) are
physically isolated from the T1 engine. When bypass is set to Y, the T1
engine has no effect on the T1 circuit. When bypass is set to N, the T1
engine is attached to both the T1NI and the T1DII. The default is Y.

chap_auth_name

This Annex parameter defines the character string that is used as the Name
field entry when issuing a CHAP challenge over a PPP link. The minimum
string length is one character and the maximum string length is 16
characters; the default is chap.
Change the default value:
• If you want the remote end of the PPP link to pick a secret
token that depends on the received name.
• If you want to achieve the highest level of security.
