HP-UX SNAplus2 R7 NOF Programmer's Guide

NOF API Verbs
DEFINE_LS
contact_timer_retry
Number of times transmission and retransmission of a contact frame (such as SNRM) is allowed using the
normal poll timer before SNAplus2 changes to the slow poll timer.
A value of
0xFFFF indicates an unlimited retry count. A value of 0x0001 indicates that the switch to the
slow poll should be made after the first timer expiry.
contact_timer2
Slow poll contact timer in milliseconds. When the contact timer retry count expires, SNAplus2 continues to
poll using this timer. This prevents leased (multi-drop) links from being flooded by poll frames for absent
stations.
contact_timer_retry2
The slow poll contact timer retry limit value corresponds to the number of times transmission and
retransmission of a contact frame (such as SNRM) is allowed on the slow cycle before an outage message is
sent to the DLC user.
A value of 0xFFFF indicates an unlimited retry count. A value of 0x0001 indicates that an outage should
be generated after the first slow poll timer expiry.
disc_timer
Timeout required before a DISC is retransmitted in the event of nonacknowledgment (used for primary SDLC
only). The timer is specified in milliseconds.
disc_timer_retry
The Disconnect timer retry limit value corresponds to the number of times transmission and retransmission
of a DISC is allowed.
A value of 0xFFFF indicates an unlimited retry count. A value of 0x0001 indicates that an outage should
be generated after the first timer expiry.
nve_poll_timer
Timeout required before an adjacent secondary station (which has previously been removed from the polling
list because it has no data to send) is reinserted into the polling list. The timer is specified in milliseconds.
nve_poll_timer_retry
Number of times a station is removed from the polling list on the normal poll timer before SNAplus2 switches
to using the slow poll timer.
A value of 0xFFFF indicates an unlimited retry count. A value of 0x0001 indicates that the switch to the
slow poll should be made after the first timer expiry.
nve_poll_timer2
The slow negative poll timer in milliseconds. When the negative poll timer retry count expires, SNAplus2
continues to poll using this timer. This prevents leased (multi-drop) links from being flooded by poll frames
for idle stations.
nve_poll_timer_retry2
Number of times a station is removed from the polling list on the slow poll cycle before an outage message is
sent to the HLS. Specify a value in the range 1–65,535. This value is normally set to 0xFFFF, indicating
infinite retry.
no_resp_timer
The maximum time a primary station waits (after having sent a frame with a poll bit) for a response frame
before trying to poll another station. This timer is restarted when a frame without the F-bit is received and
stopped only when a frame with an F-bit is received. The timeout should be set to a value not less than twice
the transmission time for the longest I-frame plus adjacent station frame processing time.
The timer is specified in milliseconds.
