Setting the Configuration

TCP/IP AXEL Platine Terminal 17
The 'Drop' option is used to remove a View/Host association. Select the
association and press <RETURN> to remove it.
Operation of the Platine terminal with View/Host facilities is described in
Chapter 4.1.
2.4 - SETTING THE PROTOCOL
The Axel Platine terminal uses five internal parameters to optimize the TCP/IP
protocol to match the existing networking and applications environments.
Note: these parameters have factory-default settings. Familiarity with TCP/IP
protocols is essential before attempting to modify them.
To read or modify these parameters, use the 'Protocol' menu in the TCP/IP
Set-Up:
mss
window
ttl
noise
tcp port
2.4.1 - 'mss' Option
This option is used to set the 'Maximum Segment Size' parameter.
This parameter defines the maximum packet size (in bytes) of the TCP layer.
By default, it is set to 512 bytes.
As the maximum size of the IP layer datagram (Maximum Transmission Unit)
has been set to 1200 bytes, it is recommended that the value of the 'mss'
option should not exceed 1200 bytes.
If too many frames are rejected on the network, the 'mss' option value may be
decreased.
