A14-30
Definition
Defines the delay time between sending the reset_cmd and receiving the
ready_status. The time is specified in seconds; valid values range between 0.0 and
25.5. The decimal part is optional, but if used, only one decimal place is allowed.
Entries of greater than 25.5 seconds will be interpreted as 25.5 seconds. If this
entry is omitted, the default is 3 seconds. This field is optional.
The syntax is:
reset_delay x.x+y.y
where:
x.x is the reset completion delay which is pre-empted by a success result code; the
default is 5 seconds.
y.y is the post reset completion delay which is not pre-empted; the default is zero.
This syntax is useful for modems that return success before completing the reset.
Sends a setup command to inbound modems before the first user connects to the
port. It should include all modem steps required to answer a call coming into the
Model 5390 server, for example, it should turn on auto-answer, disable inbound
modem connect messages, etc. This field is required.
Sends a setup command to all slave ports before a port is opened (via telnet,
callback, dynamic dial, etc.). This string should contain all of the configuration
information required for the Model 5390 server to initiate an outbound call, for
example, it should disable auto-answer, enable modem connect messages, etc. If a
ready_status is not received from the modem, the dialout is aborted.
You can specify this string in one or more dialout_setup_cmd definition lines, but
the combined length of this command must be less than 80 characters long. This
field is required.
A string containing up to 16 bytes that defines the dialout command (typically
ATDT). This command returns one of the connect_status bytes once the
connection is established. See your modem manual for more details on modem
commands. This field is required.
After sending the setup command to the modem, the Model 5390 server expects
the modem to send back a status byte. This timeout value specifies how long the
Model 5390 server waits for the status byte before assuming that something went
wrong, in which case the dial-back is aborted. The default is 60 seconds. This field
is optional.
