SETMODE Procedure
.<13> 0: Secondary station (See SECONDARY modifier)
1: Primary station (See PRIMARY modifier)
.<14:15> 0: Point-to-point (Use for NRM only)
2: Multipoint supervisor (Use for NRM only)
3: Multipoint tributary (Use for NRM only)
paramete
r-2
For NRM lines, specifies polling interval (See IDLETIMER
modifier) in 10-centisecond units. (Must be greater than zero)
For ABM lines, specifies idle timer value, also called
T1TIMER.(Should be set equal to short^time)
You can disable the ABM idle timer by specifying this parameter
as -1. Disabling the idle timer suspends the transmission of RR
command frames until you reenable the idletimer by issuing
another call to SETMODE.
The default idletimer is .5 second.
17* Set the maximum frame size and specify the address or addresses.
paramete
r-1
Maximum frame size in words. You cannot specify a value larger
than the configured frame size. (See FRAMESIZE modifier)
The default is 268 words.
paramete
r-2
.<0:7> Specifies address #1. Use only for point-to-point configurations
with basic address format. (See ADDRESS n modifier)
For lines using the ABM protocol, address #1 specifies the
address used for command and I-frames transmitted by the local
station. The default address is 01.
For lines using the NRM protocol, address #1 specifies the
address used by the secondary station in a point-to-point
configuration. This is the only address used in communications
on this line. The default address is C1.
.<8:15> Specifies address #2 Use only for point-to-point configurations
with basic address format. (See ADDRESS n modifier)
For lines using the ABM protocol, address #2 specifies the
address used for response frames transmitted by the local station.
The default address is 03.
For lines using the NRM protocol, address #2 should be set to 0.
For multidrop NRM configurations, you must specify a station
address list through the DEFINELIST procedure call.

Function
Code Parameter Description
* These SETMODE requests automatically reset the line and place the station in disconnect state. Note that for
SETMODE 16 parameter-1, some bits reset the line and others do not.
