This subsection lists in alphabetical order all the modifiers used to configure Expand
line-handler processes and describes each modifier in detail. Default values and value
ranges are described, if applicable.
AFTERMAXRETRIES_DOWN/
AFTERMAXRETRIES_PASSIVE
Default: AFTERMAXRETRIES_DOWN
Units: Not applicable
Range: Not applicable
These modifiers are applicable to Expand-over-NAM, Expand-over-IP, Expand-over-
ATM, Expand-over-ServerNet, and Expand-over-FOX line-handler processes only.
The AFTERMAXRETRIES_DOWN modifier causes the Expand line-handler process to
go to the DOWN state once the maximum number of retries (as specified by the
MAXRECONNECTS modifier) has been exhausted.
The AFTERMAXRETRIES_PASSIVE modifier causes the Expand line-handler process
to switch to passive connect mode once the maximum number of retries (as specified
by the MAXRECONNECTS modifier) has been exhausted. For Expand-over-NAM,
Expand-over-ServerNet, and Expand-over-FOX line-handler processes, if the
AFTERMAXRETRIES_PASSIVE modifier is specified together with the
CONNECTTYPE_PASSIVE modifier, the AFTERMAXRETRIES_PASSIVE modifier will
override the connect-type modifier, changing the connect mode to active.
ASSOCIATEDEV $dev-name
Default: $ZZSCL for Expand-over-ServerNet line-handler processes
$ZZFOX for Expand-over-FOX line-handler processes
None for Expand-over-IP line-handler processes
None for Expand-over-ATM line-handler processes
None for Expand-over-NAM line-handler processes
Units: Not applicable
Range: Any eight-character string
This modifier is used for Expand-over-NAM, Expand-over-IP, Expand-over-ATM,
Expand-over-ServerNet, and Expand-over-FOX line-handler processes only. This
modifier associates the logical device name of an X25AM or SNAX/APN line-handler
process with an Expand-over-X.25 or Expand-over-SNA line-handler process. This
modifier is also used to associate a NonStop TCP/IP process with an Expand-over-IP
line-handler process, an ATM line with an Expand-over-ATM line-handler process, the
$ZZSCL process with an Expand-over-ServerNet line-handler process, and the
$ZZFOX process with an Expand-over-FOX line-handler process.
