Automatic/Permanent IPX Connections
Permanent connections are used to connect LANs in a static way; i.e.
the interface of the ISDN-Controller is exclusively used for the per-
manent connection to the configured call destination. A permanent
connection to a remote LAN is always established, when
- the router is started or reinitialized
- the logical connection has been disconnected for whatever reason.
The underlying physical call set-up is controlled by the Inactivity
Timeout, i.e. the physical connection is cleared when no data traffic
has been detected for the specified period, whereas the logical con-
nection is (theoretically) maintained forever. This is why the Discon-
nect Timeout has no meaning for permanent connections.
