multicast_timer

This Model 5390 parameter defines the number of seconds that can elapse between service
announcement transmissions for the LAT protocol. Allowable values range from 10 to 180 (seconds).
The default is 30.

name_server_1

This Model 5390 parameter defines the type of name service used with the primary name server.
When using this parameter, you must specify a host using the pref_name1_addr. The options are
dns, ien_116, or none. The default is none.

name_server_2

This Model 5390 parameter defines the type of name service used with the secondary name server.
The service type specified with this parameter is queried if the type specified with name_server_1
is not available. When using this parameter, you must specify a host using pref_name2_addr. The
options are dns, ien_116, or none. The default is none.

nameserver_broadcast

This Model 5390 parameter defines whether or not the Model 5390 server broadcasts a name server
request if the preferred name servers do not respond. A Y enables this parameter, an N disables it.
The default is N.

need_dsr

This asynchronous port parameter allows the Model 5390 server to use the DSR (Data Set Ready)
signal to determine whether a device is attached to the corresponding asynchronous line. The Model
5390 server will not allow connection to a slave port and will not activate the CLI until the DSR
signal is active. If DSR is deactivated, the connection to a slave line is terminated and the CLI is
deactivated.
