This screen lets you enter the information necessary to configure
transmission control protocol (TCP) for the node. TCP is required in
order for the network transport to function. Press the
[Save Data] function
key to transfer the data displayed on the screen to the configuration file
you are creating or modifying. Verify that the data record has been
created by checking that the Data flag is set to Y.
This screen provides the necessary information for the operation of the
TCP protocol. The information configured falls into three categories:
• Reliability (checksum field).
• Sizing parameters (maximum connections fields).
• Performance parameters (retransmission fields).
