Configuring WAN Connections
Connection profiles
1-12 Preliminary January 30, 1998 Pipeline User’s Guide
3
If a filter is applied, and you want the filter to persist even if the connection
is timed out or disconnected, set Filter Persistence to Yes. (For more
information, refer to Chapter 6, “Defining Filters and Firewalls.”)
4
Set the Idle (timer) parameter to a value in seconds.
For example:
Idle=120
This specifies the Pipeline will wait 120 seconds before clearing a call when
a session is inactive. If the timer expires, the Pipeline clears the call. If the
parameter is set to zero, the Pipeline does not enforce a time limit.
The most common value is 120 seconds. For ISDN lines, there is often a
premium charge for the first minute of any connection, so you don’t want to
keep clearing and reconnecting, but you don’t want to be charged for time
you don’t need. To manually clear a call, use the DO hang up command,
discussed in the “DO Command Reference” chapter of the Reference Guide.
5
The Preempt parameter specifies the number of seconds the Pipeline waits
before using one channel of an idle link for a new call. You can specify a
number between 0 and 65535. The Pipeline sets no time limit if you enter 0
(zero). The default setting is 60.
6
The IPX SAP Filter is similar to the data or call filter, but prevents Netware
SAP packets from unnecessarily initiating or keeping alive a connection.
7
The Backup and Secondary parameters are used to name other profiles that
can be used if the current connection cannot be reached. The Secondary
profile is used if the Backup profile is unavailable.
8
Block Calls After and Blocked Duration are used to control the number of
times the unit redials the remote end if the line is busy, and how long to wait
before retrying the connection.
For more information on any parameter, see the Reference Guide.
Telco options
To set the Telco options, do the following:
1
Open the Ethernet > Connections > any profile > Telco Options.
For example:
AnsOrig=Ans Only
Callback=No
