The maximum number of times a configure request packet will be re-sent
before the link is terminated.
Range: 0-255
Default: 10 seconds

before it considers a

The maximum number of times a terminate request packet will be re-sent
before the link is terminated.
Range: 0-255

Enable
Address/Control
Compression
This determines whether compression of the PPP Address and Control fields
take place on the link. For most applications this should be enabled.
Default: Enabled
Enable Protocol
Compression
This determines whether compression of the PPP Protocol field takes place on
this link.
Default: Enabled
Enable VJ
Compression
When enabled, Van Jacobson Compression is used on this link. If your user is
authenticated by the IOLAN, this VJ compression value will be overridden if
you have enabled the
User, Enable VJ Compression parameter. If the user is
authenticated by RADIUS and the RADIUS parameter Framed-Compression
is set in the RADIUS file, the IOLAN will use the value in the RADIUS file in
preference to the value configured here.
Default: Enabled
Enable Magic
Negotiation
Determines if a line is looping back. If enabled (On), random numbers are sent
on the link. The random numbers should be different, unless the link loops
back.
Default: Disabled
Idle Timeout Use this timer to close a connection because of inactivity. When the Idle
Timeout
expires, the IOLAN will end the connection.
Range: 0-4294967 seconds (about 49 days)
Default: 0 (zero), which does not timeout, so the connection is permanently
open.
Direct Connect Specify this option when a modem is not connected to this serial port.
Default: Enabled
