Altering Timeout Periods
Altering Timeout Periods
Certain Expand SCF attributes are used to set a timeout period (for example, the
OSTIMEOUT attribute specifies the Expand out-of-sequence packet timeout period).
These Expand SCF attributes accept different units of time than the Expand modifiers
with which they correspond. As a result, you must specify different values to set the
same timeout period when using the Expand subsystem SCF ALTER and WAN
subsystem SCF ALTER commands.
These are the affected Expand SCF attributes and Expand modifiers:
•
L2TIMEOUT
•
L4TIMEOUT
•
OSTIMEOUT
•
ABORTTIMER
•
CONNECTTIME
Expand SCF Time Units
The Expand SCF attributes are set using time intervals. A time interval is specified in
this format:
HH:MM:SS:hh
HH (hours) is an integer in the range 0 through 24. MM (minutes) and SS (seconds) are
integers in the range 0 through 60. hh (hundredths of a second) is an integer in the
range 0 through 99. For example, 5:27.02 is 5 minutes, 27 seconds, and 2 hundredths
of a second; 1.00 is 1 second; 0.25 is 25 hundredths of a second; and so on.
This Expand subsystem SCF ALTER LINE command sets the L4TIMEOUT attribute to
20 seconds:
alter path $line2, l4timeout 20.00
WAN SCF Time Units
The Expand modifiers are set in one-hundredth of a second increments. (For example,
1000 is equal to 10 seconds.)
This WAN subsystem SCF ALTER DEVICE command set
s the L4TIMEOUT modifier to
20 seconds:
alter device $zzwan.#line1, l4timeout 2000
