AX3000 - User's Manual 275
Notes:
- The available parameters depend on both the connection type (screen or
auxiliary port) and the associated protocol.
- New values are used for the next TCP/IP connection (no need to power-
cycle the AX3000).
a) The 'Secondary Host' Parameter
A secondary server allows the user to select on which server the session is
connected to. The server is chosen when the session is established. A mini-
menu is displayed.
b) The 'TCP port' Parameter
This parameter is the server TCP port on which the session is connected. The
default values are 23 for telnet, 2048 for tty, 3389 for RDP and 1494 for ICA.
c) The 'mss' and 'Window' Parameters
These two parameters are the AX3000 resources allocated to telnet and tty
screen sessions for receiving network data:
- mss (maximum segment size) is the largest segment of TCP data. This
size is negotiated with the server at the connection time.
- window is the reception windows size (i.e. the size of the buffer on which
the TCP data is stored.
It is not advisable to modify these two values unless the input data flow is not
continuous (i.e. the data flow pauses and resumes regularly during scrolling).
d) The 'Time to Live' Parameter
This parameter controls the ‘to live’ time of the datagram to prevent it being
looped forever due to routing errors. Routers decrement the TTL of every
datagram as it traverses from one network to another. When its value reaches 0
the packet is dropped.
This parameter doesn't impact the AX3000 performance.
e) The 'TCP port Assignment' Parameter
The AX3000 resources (screen sessions and auxiliary ports) are identified by
numeric values called TCP ports.
