ALTER LINE Command
TIMERBIND time
specifies the time interval that the Expand-over-NAM, Expand-over-ServerNet, or
Expand-over-FOX line-handler process will wait for a completion of its bind request
to the NAM process. The time interval is specified in the format described in Time
Values on page 15-6.
The TIMERBIND attribute does not apply to Expand-over-IP and Expand-over-ATM
line-handler processes. A value of 0 indicates an indefinite interval (no timer).
The valid range for this attribute is 0 to 9:06:07.00 hours. The default value for
Expand-over-NAM lines is 30.00 seconds; the default value for Expand-over-
ServerNet lines is 60.00 seconds the default value for Expand-over-FOX lines is
60.00 seconds.
TIMERINACTIVITY time
specifies the time interval that the Expand-over-NAM line-handler process will wait
during a period of inactivity before requesting disconnection from the network
service provided by the network access method (NAM) process, or the time
interval the Expand-over-IP line-handler process will wait during a period of user
data inactivity before suppressing non-essential maintenance traffic (netmaps) so
that an external process can disconnect from the network. In both cases, the line
remains ready and the next user data traffic brings the line out of the inactive state.
This attribute is applicable only for Expand-over-IP, Expand-over-X.25, and
Expand-over-SNAX line-handler processes. The valid range for this attribute is 0 to
32767 seconds. The default value for Expand-over-X.25 and Expand-over-SNAX
lines is 15:00 minutes, the default value for Expand-over-IP lines is 0 (no timer).
TIMERPROBE time
specifies the time interval that the Expand-over-NAM, Expand-over-ServerNet, or
Expand-over-FOX line-handler process will wait to send out a probe to obtain the
status of the NAM process, or the time interval that the Expand-over-IP or Expand-
over-ATM line-handler process will wait to probe the remote Expand-over-IP or
Expand-over-ATM line-handler process. The time interval is specified in the format
described in Time Values on page 15-6.
Probes will continue to be sent out the number of times specified by the
RETRYPROBE attribute. If the TIMERPROBE/RETRYPROBE cycle expires
without a returned status, then the Expand-over-NAM, Expand-over-ServerNet,
Expand-over-FOX, Expand-over-ATM, or Expand-over-IP line-handler process
declares the network unavailable.
The valid ranges for this attribute are as follows:
Expand-over-IP lines: 1 through 32767
Expand-over-ATM lines: 1 through 32767
Expand-over-X.25 lines: 1 through 32767
