Gateway Half Network Interface Configuration Screens
Gateway Half Network Interface Configuration
Fields Idle device timeout value (seconds)
If the idle device timer has been enabled (see related
screens), and if there is no activity during this time
interval, the device is considered to be inactive and will
be closed. A timeout value of zero disables the idle
device timer for the link on this network interface. The
idle device timer is useful for shutting down dial links
that have become idle. This field is relevant if the link
is a dial link.
Related screens:
• NETXPORT.NI.NIname.LINK.linkname
Enables/disables idle device timer for the device.
• NETXPORT.GPROT.TCP
The connection assurance interval set in this screen
must be less than the idle device timeout value
configured in the current screen.
Default value: None
Range: 0–32400
Number of outbound buffers
This field specifies the number of buffers to be allocated
for outbound data. Outbound buffers are used for
outbound data packets and are held by the transport
until they are acknowledged by the destination node.
Underallocation may adversely affect TCP throughput.
Related screen:
• NETXPORT.GPROT.TCP
The maximum number of connections is configured
here. If it is increased, consider increasing the
number of outbound buffers also.
Default value: 128
Range: 32–1024
