Enable idle
device timer
(Y/N) This field specifies whether the device is to be
disconnected automatically if no packets have been
received or transmitted over the link during a specified
time period. It is relevant only if a timeout value has
been entered in the point-to-point NI screen (see
“Related screens”).
Related screen:

configured on this screen.
Default value: Y
Range: Y or N
Disconnect
the link with
the DSline
Close command
(Y/N) A Y (Yes) value means that NS will immediately
disconnect the dial phone line when the last user enters
a DSLINE
nodename ;CLOSE command. NS keeps track
of the number of times the DSLINE
nodename
command is issued by all users on the system. When
the DSLINE
nodename ;CLOSE command has been
issued this same number of times, NS checks to see if
the dial line to the remote node is still connected and if
there are any TCP connections still using the line. If
the line is connected and there are no TCP connections,
NS disconnects the line.
An N (No) value means that the dial phone line will
remain connected until the idle device timer expires.
Default value: N
Range: Y or N
