Table 8-2. X.21 Link Parameters
Option Default Description
1. Local X.21 Data Activity Data Activity is currently the only option on this menu.
Connect Mode Connect Therefore, Data Activity Connect is the only option for Multiserver
ports. For feeder-mux ports, there is another option (DTR). Data
Activity Connect causes a connection to be made to the X.21 network
whenever there is data activity on a channel or port that is connected
to a class of ports (on a feeder mux) via an X.21 link.
When you select Data Activity Connect, you will be asked to set (in
seconds) the data-activity timeout period:
ENTER X.21 NUMBER OF SECONDS: [5]
Enter the desired time in seconds, from 1 to 20 (the default is 5). You
must use whole numbers. Press <cr>. To terminate and return to the
Command Facility Main Menu, press ^X.
When the X.21 link is in use and the Multiserver does not detect data
activity within the specified time, it will time out and drop the
connection. The link will remain in readiness for a call until the next
call request.
