CLOCKMODE_DCE/CLOCKMODE_DTE
CLOCKMODE_DCE/CLOCKMODE_DTE
Default: CLOCKMODE_DCE
Units: Not applicable
Range: Not applicable
These modifiers are applicable to direct-connect and satellite-connect Expand line-
handler processes only. The CLOCKMODE_DCE modifier disables the
communications line interface processor (CLIP) clock on the ServerNet wide area
network (SWAN) concentrator used by the line. It causes the SWAN concentrator to
provide no clocking. The CLOCKMODE_DTE modifier enables the communications
line processor (CLIP) clock. This modifier enables the internally generated clock when
it is used in conjunction with the CLOCK modifier.
CLOCKSPEED_600/CLOCKSPEED_1200
CLOCKSPEED_2400/CLOCKSPEED_4800
CLOCKSPEED_9600/CLOCKSPEED_19200
CLOCKSPEED_38400/CLOCKSPEED_56000
CLOCKSPEED_115200
Default: CLOCKSPEED_19200
Units: Kilobits per second (Kbps)
Range: Not applicable
These modifiers are applicable to direct-connect and satellite-connect Expand line-
handler processes only. These modifiers override the default speed of the internally
generated communications line interface processor (CLIP) on the ServerNet wide area
network (SWAN) concentrator. The CLOCKMODE_DTE modifier must also be
specified to enable the internal clock.
COMPRESS_OFF/COMPRESS_ON
Default: COMPRESS_ON
Units: Not applicable
Range: Not applicable
These path modifiers are applicable to all Expand line types. The COMPRESS_ON
modifier specifies that data compression will be performed. Data compression causes
multiple blanks, zeros, and nulls to be removed before data transmission. You can stop
data compression from being performed by using the COMPRESS_OFF modifier.
You can increase the net line throughput by using the COMPRESS_ON modifier
because compression causes the number of bytes transmitted to be reduced; however,
if data being transmitted is not compressible and the COMPRESS_ON modifier is
used, throughput can actually be reduced (processor cycles are required to perform
compression).
