Connect inactivity
time (sec)
Sets a time interval, in seconds, for determining how long to incrementally maintain
a connection after no activity is detected in either direction. This parameter is
typically set to the incremental charge rate of the local phone system. The parameter
does not become active until the Minimum connect duration (sec) parameter
elapses. Thus, if you want the inactivity time to be the sole reason for disconnecting,
set the a wait time period here and leave the Minimum connect duration (sec)
parameter set to zero.
Default: 60
Disable: 0
Range: 10 to 64800 (seconds), or Infinity
Infinity
Connection inactivity does not cause the router to terminate the call.
Other choices
0 (zero) disables the timer.
Connect Retries
Determines the number of times to try to reconnect an idle LLC2 connection. After
the Retry Time period elapses, the router broadcasts control messages based on the
value set for the Retry Counter and waits for a response from the remote end of the
circuit. If an acknowledgment is not returned, the router repeats the loop the
number of times set here for Connect Retries.
Default: 0 (infinity)
Range: 0-9999
Connect retry count
Sets the number of times the router tries to establish a connection if the initial call
attempt fails. The range is 1 (try only once for each available phone number) to 30.
For example, if you set Connect retry count to 3, the router makes up to three call
attempts for each outbound phone number you provide (by cycling through the set
of provided phone numbers three times). If the router is unsuccessful in establishing
a connection, the internal record of connect attempts is reset to zero and an error
log message is sent to the error log file.
Default: 3
Range: 1 to 30
Connect wait time(sec)
Sets how long to wait after trying to make a connection (call) for the connection to
be established. If the connection is not established within the specified time, the
router drops DTR and retries the call. (In this case, retry means to bring the DTR line
back up.) This pattern is repeated until either the router make the connection or the
specified number of retries is reached.
Default: 60.
Note: If a call fails due to a ‘‘busy signal,” then the next available outbound phone
number (if configured) is used immediately. However, none of the phone numbers
are repeated before the connect wait time expires.
